Hope you remain with us.
We don't have too many Ruby friends in this world.
Merry Christmas and best wishes for a Healthy and Happy New Year!

Hate to see anyone go. Ruby #385

Just my 2 cents....

I fully understand, I dropped my membership for many years because of some policy's I considered prissy and stupid The worst was no posting links to the other site with a ZR-1 following (was told it gave members here a choice to leave for the other site) even my sig was removed as my pics were tied to it because this site would not host pics for members. But some things have changed not all but enough for me and I do believe it will only get better.

So was I...

I’ve said it many times,I will NEVER rejoin as long as the place is run as half a$$ as it has been run for years. No offense to the officers that donate their time and effort to run the place but do it like adults and give it 100% and no games. I would love nothing more than to rejoin and support this car we all love but until it shapes up,not a dime from me. From what I’ve seen it’s been in the same shape going on 11 years now. I do enjoy this site but if a better offer comes around I’ll share my time,money elsewhere. If somebody wants to be so petty for what I’ve said here,so be it.

Guess I’m glad to be a relative newcomer and not burdened by prior experience. Everyone here has treated me well and I had a great time at the 2017 Gathering and plan to attend again this year.

The only hijinks I’ve seen on the board were dealt with reasonably (guy was posting tons of political trollery, no one comes here for that and he wouldn’t stop after being asked nicely). The board seems to put a ton of effort and time into supporting the community.

Maybe the perspective would be different if I’d been around in the old days. Anyway, there’s clearly some history there, not sorry I missed the last great schism or whatever it was.

Just imagine how sad it would be if this site went away.

I'm pleased to see this thread still running, it should.
I've belonged to a couple other forum, not many. I just purchased a ZR2 (now I have a ZR-1 and a ZR2) and I always wish these other forums were run and set up like this one.

The information and assistance I've been provided directly by members and on the forum has been invaluable. We have unique, small production run cars with a limited availability of parts and an even more limited and decreasing availability of knowledge about working on them. This forum and Registry membership is a thin thread of preservation that is invaluable. With our small numbers we can "see" into the personalities of others a little more than other larger clubs and forums, exposing all the good and a few blemishes. Well, as we age, blemishes clear up, as has the Registry. Hats off in salute to the officers of the organization and to all the members who support it and other members.

I concur. I visit this site often and appreciate it. I also appreciate what the club does (or, what volunteers do) to promote the ZR-1 and events.

I would have struggled with my car's issues if not for the ZR-1.net community. My car is MUCH better (in fact, awesome) as a result of the help I've received here. I would have a hard time thinking of anything to complain about. It's just about 100% positive here. (and I'm glad there are no political arguments).

Glad I've started a good discussion. I hope no one takes this as a total slight against the sight. I just felt one member was being treated differently than another. This member happens to be a friend. Aside from that, this reminds me of my Homeowners Assoc. People who have horses can break any and all rules, people who don't have horses are watched like a hawk. Watched this for 19 yrs.
I am originally from SE Texas so when you slight my family or my friends, and think your better than me or anyone else, it's gonna get a terse reaction from me. I see the other thread about selling a car is still up. Marty said we all agree to the rules as the board see's them and that's fine. Just not when some are more equal than others. As I said in my first post and I hope I'm wrong, but I think this about something else. I want to see how this plays out.
