    It's not dying, it's just increasingly inactive.

    I think this site has hit a point where it needs to try to stand out a bit further than the other 'lesser' sites. Like merchandise, promos, bring back COTM and update the home page as often as possible. Without turning the site into the others, which allow cussing, racism, nudity, etc. This one has an uphill battle the whole way. BUT it does have extremely knowledgeable MODS and Members, along with a ton of usefull info!

    Welcome back to you guys who have been out of the site for a while!!

    I agree mason. I think maybe go through the moderators and possibly change them out to users who are still actively using the site. This site has always been the friendliest forum and has always made me feel like family.. It is sad is has died off...

    I say we stand together, spread the word and try to bring it back to what it used to be! Who is with me?

    I'm still around answering every post that I can. I know there are other mods on here as well, it's just there is not a lot to comment on. If the others are like me, then their lives are hectic and they are hurting for time. that means no new projects, and no new projects means no new posts. The times in america have hurt more than jobs, they have hurt forums as well. I have to of them, and they are just like this. I would love to see this site back to where it was, but as stated, it's an uphill battle. As for the merchandise, that is an uphill battle as well with trade names. It will come around guys, just have to be patient.

    yeah, what he said....


    not to mention my time has been divided as well...When I originally started the site, it was/is a hobby that I enjoy. Therefore even thou it means alot to me sometimes it gets bumped on the priority list. Also I dont put the energy it often needs cause I do this more of a hobby than a job. I know it hurts the site but I just want to enjoy the hobby vrs have it feel like work. When I say hobby, I am talking about the Camaro of course not particularly the website.

    I do miss when this place was thriving but its hard to maintain that level of energy on my end without being on the computer 8-10 hrs a day.

    I'm still around when I can be. I do miss the thriving times but they'll come back around.

    *edit* I forgot I changed my sig., kinda funny that it doesn't have a Camaro in it. Still have it though.

    I am here although I rarely log on. Partly because I am busy and the other part is cause I have hooked up with old school friends on Facebook. Jim is on all the time, but I am not sure he does a lot of posting.

    I understand the Logo and TM being tough to deal with. And by absolutly no means was I meaning anything negative about the site at all.

    I love this site. Its useful and funny and at times touching. But I think as members we can do a little more to be on here often and add useful comments. And donate if possible. You get a sticker after all!!!

    As for the mods, I respect your time put into the site. I know getting online daily is a chore for most people. And being able to run the site and update it often must also be time consuming. So once again, thank you Z28.com community!! You All Are great!

    I agree and this is what I was getting at in my post. If everyone slowly starts posting, even if something as simple as a thread about vacations... than eventually interest will grow and more people will have more topics to post on. This would eventually and slowly bring the site back. Just look how much more active it has been the past few days...

    BTW... sticker, what sticker,.. I never got a sticker?!?!
