I saw your thread as well, I suspected it would get boneyarded. It does bother me that it was yanked. I have had a few posts here yanked as well. The last one being my disdain for GM.

I see what you are saying, but I'd just point out, this is the Internet. Content is where you find it. That's how companies like Google work. They want to be where you go to find the content, not where the content comes from. Facebook, twitter, etc, all the same thing.
|
How often have you been surfing looking for something and found what seems to be a good link, followed it come to a site that is down? I believe the registry will be here for a while, and if the content is here, it will be around longer. Hell it pisses me off when the pics are gone out of posts because people use a crappy photo host.

Content will happen on CF no matter what. There are tons more people, and there are folks with C4's that aren't ZR-1s. But the things they do to their cars are relevant to us. At least some are. If you can post those things up to the site here, we can find them here and discuss them here. If not, well we all have to browse CF as well as here to stay in touch.
|
There is some limited general C4 topics over here... Suspension/brakes/interior, but yes there is more over there due to shear volume. And always will be more. Doesn't mean that we should not ask here or talk about it.

I know you got banned a while back there, but do you still browse the site to see what new stuff is going on? I'd go out on a limb and guess you probably do. There is good information there, it'd be silly not to.
|
I do browse there and see what's going on, for the most part it's SOS. Just new people coming in asking the same old stuff. I don't find a whole lot of new info there any more. All the new info is in the C6 section that I pay attention to.

If you want to be in the content business (which is the model you are suggesting), you'd better have the best content. I don't think that's true. CF has way more content by virtue of its way more members. Even if every single ZR-1 owner was here on this forum, CF would still have more. While I realize this isn't a business in the money-making sense, it is a reasonable analogy the participation sense. I suspect if no one used the forum, you'd consider that a bad thing, even though no money is involved.

I think the registry site has way better content on LT5 stuff, yet people are still posting LT5 over at CF. I've seen threads posted on all 4 major sites (Zreg/CF/DC/CAC) and only get answers here. Or at least helpful answers. DC and CAC ZR-1 sections might as well be shut down. At one point the Zreg site was used very little. Dave had talked about shutting it down. I'm glad it survived. It just took a little while to get full steam.

My two cents, if you want people to use the site here, have this be the place they can find everything they are interested in. You don't do that by pretending no good info is elsewhere on the web. Rather you do it by consolidating all the good bits of that here.

There are several of us that do try to make it the best place to come for content. I and several others have posted some excellant threads on projects with pictures.
