Says nowhere in his account about Site Owner. No tag etc. Never seen a forum that doesn't have a special tag for the owner of the site. But i re-read the PM and you are correct. Apologies @Okuma. Not seeing a Site Owner tag threw me off. Re-edited my initial post to take out my oversite of not reading the PM thoroughly enough. Still though. Please make a Sticky post about this in the Site News area!
maybe if you participated in more than just the classifieds you would have already known

@Okuma ,
I received your message and I am ready to re-up but one statement really put me off. The fact the site is showing it's age and you need new software. I have been on many a forum and made many friends but none I have met in person until I joined here.
I have made some pretty good friends here and even found a long lost cousin. The site is easy to navigate, it is not hard to figure out and is not confusing in it's layout like other sites that "upgraded" themselves into oblivion. I would say just as I was becoming accustomed to the workings of a good forum site the owners changed the software into a monstrosity that was probably easier for them to manage but was confusing and hard to navigate with a lot of wasted space used by the avatars and separations between posts. In fact this one site is really hard to figure out when and where different posts stop and start. If you want me to I can PM you a link to an example of one I was very active in that I just can't stand the sight of anymore.

I'll bet there are others on here that have had the same experience with other sites.
Thanks for reading this

Still had a year on my 'support', but tacked on a 5 year. Like stated above, I've met many new friends on this forum. Also, when greeting New Members, I often say, "Howdy & welcome to the clubhouse!" That's exactly how I feel --- this is a digital clubhouse for me. I may spend 'a lot' of time on here, but at least it keeps me off the streets!

Oh, the one comment that thought the PM sounded like a scam......I didn't go through the provided link, I went through the settings to get to the appropriate section. Just in casies!

I have a very modified Fiat 500 Sport that I take to Texas every year and run the foothills with other Fiat owners. There used to be a page like this for Fiat owners. This was a group of guys that really knew how to modify the cars and help each other out. The owner of the site sent out a similar email to all the member about not having the money to keep it going. He was thinking about charging around $25 a year to be a member. Everybody pretty much replied " We can get on Facebook and do the same thing for free" So the owner gave up and shut it down. I'm a member of several other Fiat webpages but, none of them compare to the one that shut down. I would have then and now pay $25 a year to have that webpage back. Anybody misty eyed yet?

Honestly, I’m just glad I wasn’t a victim of spam when I did the 2 year deal. I just knew, once I entered my CC info, I was screwed. LOL

Happy to help keep this site running. Where else could I go to get .223 for a buck a round.
