Jper, you make a valid point with pittspeed. I sure as hell would hate to have this wonderful site evolve into the cynical and snide attitude that seems to be too popular "over there." Monkey see, monkey do. More often than not I have a much different attitude if I'm on that site than if I'm on this one, just because that seems to be the natural environment there. Shame too, its a great concept & there are a lot of good people on there.

I'm not sure if expanding the forum to include other domestics and muscle cars would be enough to prevent that. Seems as though the jerks on that site don't really care about cars as much as inflating their e-cocks.

just my .02, however I don't frequent it enough to really consider myself educated, in the full sense of the word, about the sites dynamics.

I don't see a Stang in the Ford brand name or any cars manufactured by Ford.
Is this one next? http://mustanghorses.proboards107.com/
Or http://mustangranch.org/forum/index.php
So is the city next for using Steel City?

What a load of Road Apples! OOP's :)

Never "cryed" to get back on. I pm'd you asking why I got banned for doing the same shit as other people...I guess you have to be a douchebag to other people to stay on the site..

**94REDGT** · 12-10-2008, 04:30 PM

I voted no because I like the idea of it being dedicated to Mustangs ....However It will grow if it includes the other Muscle Cars out there..... Also I dont think Lou should have to go thru any court Sh-- If it comes to that, then change the name and keep the site going .... Maybe in the long run it would benefit the site to include other makes and models

x2s... More people, more info, more products, more site sponsors.. As long as the rules keep being inforced then it would not get out of hand.. It benefits alot more than people think to having a larger crowd..

I agree the more the better, but whats the point of it being called scs and dedicated to mustangs...Then changing it to all muscle cars..IT takes away from what it is now and what its always been..

i agree again... lots of people does have its benefits, BUT if i want that i can always go to pitt speed or the corral. i like being able to come here and just be all about mustangs and recognize almost everyone that posts on the site.

i also like being able to come here and go to the classifieds and see 99% of the car classifieds are just mustang parts.... i hate going on pittspeed and having to go through 10 pages of "WTB B-series pistons" "Looking for clean civic shell" "For sale: type R tranny" "WTT: H22 out of my prelude si" etc etc etc. before i see a single mustang part.

x2! exactly why i want it to stay scs!

**White5.0** · 12-10-2008, 04:43 PM

But as said before: Lou if you're gonna get in trouble please change it asap because i would hate to see that happen to you

I don't necessarily agree that "more is better" in this case... as I think one of the "more"s that is overlooked is "more problems"

I'm open to the idea of bringing in more people that will get along well and add to our online "community" here, however I believe that one of the reasons why this site has succeeded is because it is a niche site for a specific model car (which fosters the development of a comradery amongst the members, as they all have a commonality amongst them). There are many people that would fit in well here, regardless of the type of car they drive or what kind of cars they like, however it opens a door that need not be opened. I haven't been here very long, however I have known about the site. I never joined because I didn't have a mustang, so it was rather pointless IMO.

IDK, overall it's Lou's call on what direction he wants the site to go in, and I support him with whatever that direction may be - however I would talk it over with the moderators and the site sponsors to see what is in their best interests (if you havn't already, I'm sure its been brought up on a moderator only subforum or something).

meh, i'm reading wayyyyyyyy to far into this. A name change will probably not alter the earth's rotation or anything, but it could promote a change in demographics and a change in mindset. For better/worse? who knows!

Right, the fact that I know who half of the people are who post, and can refer to people by their first name makes me like this forum sooo much. I also belong to svtperformance, mustangmafia, pittspeed, and a few other car forums, but they are so broad and over populated, you really cant be personal with people, where on here you can.

I also agree, but I highly doubt anything can be done, and if so the most that can be done is the logo maybe..And in that case, just alter it a bit and make it "origional" and they cant say anything.

**MBH** · 12-10-2008, 04:57 PM

Hey Lou, not sure if you're worried, but I threw together some non ford backgrounds for the site if you want em. As far as I'm concerned they're yours to do whatever you want with.

I'm not particularly thrilled with any of them, but I don't want you to get in any legal trouble
