Of course, that announcement was put up before the big, highly-successful fund-raising effort, when Lance thought that what would remain of the CEG would be limited to what he could pay for out of his own pocket. One of the members came up with a way to save the CEG, if we could raise $2,500 in donations. Speaking for myself, I took this to mean that the CEG could be saved in more or less the form it had existed in before. We raised not just the $2,500, but over $4,300, if I remember correctly. It appears, however, that in spite of this, Lance is still going ahead with only a stripped-down version of the CEG, a mere shadow of what it was before. I felt bad about not donating to the effort myself, but financial conditions at that time were very much unfavorable for me. In hindsight, I am now glad I didn't donate, as I would certainly now have been left feeling that I got something very much less than I would have thought I was paying for.
Wow, that's quite an accusation you're making there.
I love how people talk like they know how it is.
A "mere shadow of what it was before"... you seem to be good at exaggeration, too. Just because we're missing OT for now, it's a "mere shadow.." I guess all the other stuff here is just useless junk, lowly drivel, utter crap. I mean, this is a Contour/Mystique site -- why would we want to discuss our cars?
Does it make sense to ANYONE that we would wait to see how the new connection and software panned out before adding the off topic section????
There is a loud proponent group for the OT section...but believe it or not, the majority (as in numbers) of the people I've talked to/chatted with/PM'ed don't seem to be missing it.
OT will return, but it won't be an anything-goes forum. It, too, will be geared towards helping people.
