I understand. But I would think that the clicks and view are much less than in previous years

# of clicks per month = value of advertising revenue.

# being down doesn't help them

I think I own this place. My very few posts become 100s of 100s of replies. Okay, so CFOT has to implode. Since I'm not banned give me a list of people to recruit here that aren't here and I'll PM them to head over. Can't get banned over PMs I believe.

Can't bump old threads. I'll just keep whoring my 720S over there. I've yet to have it moved to the "other cars" section every time I posted up my prior vehicles that aren't Vettes lol

I have been informed that PMs are previewed by someone there.
If it's CD, and he sees this, **** YOU, Asshole.
I did allude to a thread that Norm got warned on yesterday, and have been
awaiting my sentence, but nothing happened.
It has become unbearable now, and I may get my first vacation, which will be my last, due to this uncontrolled idiot handing out these sentences unrestricted.
It's a shame, but I cannot believe IB allows this crap to continue.
I like the C3 Tech/Gen section, as there are helpfull peeps there,
(also the C4 sections - had one of those , but all in all, we're fine here

Way back when (aka 10+ years ago) when forums were the rage and FB and other crap didn't exist a friend of mine tried starting up a forum and got me admin privileges. You could not see PMs between people. Could see just about anything else. Ask an admin here if they can preview PMs.

I used to have my own forum when I owned my domain
http://www.grandsportc3.com
I had a forum on my domain but ended up giving up my domain after they wanted to charge 10 times what they previously charged me for the domain and webspace. When I had the forum, I could see people's PM's.. So, I'm sure that the admins on the CF can. I was a moderator on another site (smokemup.com) and as a MOD I couldn't see them but I'm pretty sure, an admin can.

Admins of vBulletin forums can have access to read PMs.

I run a phpBB forum, can't see PMs unless I reset their password and login as the user. It would be fairly obvious since I can't see their original password to begin with.

No interest in doing that whatsoever.

Well, with the EV thread we have here and RedLS1GTO, you have your domain back and then some, for free or close to it. Less time managing a domain gives you more time to drive to Walmart for fresh fruit and veggies.

I was responsible for convincing Tommy Thompson Jr from MacMulkin Chevrolet to become a forum sponsor in 2004. Tommy and I have been friends for a long time and MacMulkin has been the #1 Corvette dealership in the world for the past two years. I told him about all the bullshit that's been happening on the site and he's reached out to IB to let them know about it. He was pissed when I told him that Inhad been perma-banned. He doubts anything will change, but at least he's let them know how he feels. He didn't know about the Barn, so we might see MacMulkin over here soon.
