Excellent news.
Who knows... fate plays out in mysterious ways. I've had numerous generous offers from others who host existing Mustang and motorcycle based forum boards, who are willing to adopt our wayward souls. As attractive as that may sound, we are a proud people, and do not wish to impose. Secondly, and likely more importantly, we continue to attempt to recover our lost back ups, so that we can make proper contact and announce where we all are going, and recover contact information for all of those part time members who are still valued, yet only may have lurked about over the years. In addition, we really did value our own "local control" and enjoyed the very casual feel of having a board with little restriction and a self governing Admin staff. That may all be gone. And the farther we move down the timeline, the more likely all those contacts are sinking to the bottom of the internet abyss.
I will miss having ulitmate control, as well as being there for those wandering souls who occassionally drift and out of our company as life and changes in interests, cars, locations and such have a tendency to move us along through life. We had been a nice, stable platform for a very, very long time.
But, looking forward, I am excited to see what the future holds for us. New members, catching up with old friends, learning a new format and hopefully being a part of starting something new do bring a new energy to me along with a hope that we can continue, bigger and better than ever.
We have still not completely given up on recovering at least a portion of our old archives. But, again, that fades as the days go by. So, I embrace the move to the new site and will start spreading the word. Even if on a temporary basis, it provides everyone a convenient place to reconnect, organize events and keep up to date on rapidly developing events, such as all the drama that occurred at the Second Sttars race of the season just last week.
At the same time, it makes use of this site, which has been sitting here in the driveway idling away, just waiting for someone to jump in the driver seat and give her a good run around the block! So lets see where this takes us, and hope that everyone enjoys it for the moment, even should the near impossible occur and we get at least an old portion of the SoCal-T site back up and running. It is always good to have options and hook up with old friends.
So, thanks again Tim, and let us know if there is anything we can do while we are here to help out and show our appreciation for your hospitality.
