UPDATE: If you send a message via the Forum through Contact, we are now getting those emails

The same issues people are complaining about have been going on for close to 20 years and the excuse that the people running the site are volunteers isn't a valid excuse and frankly it's a bit of a cheap shot,whenever I hear that excuse it's just another jab at the continuing issues. Members pay for a service therefore there is a financial responsibility from the site directors to ensure they receive what they pay for. While I value this site,all members and the overwhelming support we share with one another why do the same issues persist year after year? I do appreciate the time and effort the new directors are spending to make all this happen. How many members first time,one time paid members? After dealing with the very same issues that the OP posted about here,18 years ago I was done after 1 year of paid membership.

Just as of last week, we lost one of our Board Members and a Moderator of the Forum. I have a full-time job and am a new volunteer. I've empathized with your grievances and am working diligently to help but there is only so much I can do as one person under the circumstances.

I have directly asked for assistance throughout multiple Forum posts recently and have received very little tangible assistance.

Would you like to offer tangible assistance with the Forum? If not, I respectfully ask that you take a step back.

It's was a long time back and the technology has moved on somewhat, but if I can help in any way I'm glad to. Preserving the information on the forum is going to be a tough job and was an issue even back then.
Thanks for stepping up.

Thanks for chiming in Dave, just sent you a PM.

Sorry to hear that someone left. Who was it?
Hopefully it wasn't over the comments.

Honestly running a site is a lot of work and this is a bit of a bespoke service to a relatively small crowd and yet it costs next to nothing to be a member and just the access to the library of info will save you ten-fold if you ever need it.

Lot of complaints over relatively small issues none worth losing sleep over or worse, showing a lack of patience towards our volunteers.

Around here stepping up and offering solutions will be way more valuable time spent than complaining. Wish I had the time to volunteer and help run the site but I don?t and I contribute to this community in other ways instead.

If you?re at the gathering we can have a beer. Or other beverage.

I heard they left due to family commitments and not being able to be as available as they once were.

Zack,

I also share some of same frustrations as Jeff and others having been a member for over 20 years; even before what the Registry is today. I appreciate the new generation and younger talent stepping forward to take the Registry to the next level and your efforts. I was going to quit after all these years, but some good folks talked me into remaining a member as of today.

I would like to be part of the solution than part of the problem so please let me know how I can help in any capacity. Over the past 40+ years I was with the military and moving all over the world with temporary duty and deployments, so I did not want to commit to anything I could not sustain. Last summer I retired, so I have time now other than catching up with over 20 projects for my ZR-1. I am not a traditionalist nor an NCRS owner, and probably have one of the most owner modified cars in the group. This is a special group for a special car and many of us are here to keep the Legend Alive more than anything else. Through the years I have seen the Registry take a turn with changes I did not agree with so I pondered quitting several times to be honest. I believe this is an organization for the truly dedicated owners of these cars and should not concentrate on membership numbers, but some focus on the quality of the website will help to gain new and dedicated members.
