Celeste - I knew from reading other posts you've made here on the forum in the past that your heart is definitely in the right place as you offered to purchase the site. Definitely a great gesture on your part if you ask me! I hope that everything works out so that the site can stay up and running for years to come.
I also really enjoy this site quite a bit. I refer a lot of folks to it, as well as to the vendors that sponsor the site. I have purchased 3 cars from folks on this site, sold a car to someone on the site, and sold, bought, and donated all kinds of things to the "members". The folks I've met thru SCS have all been good people that enjoy our hobby, and those are the kind of people I like to have as friends.

Has Lou set a date for the site to be shut down if it is not sold?
I think everyone is taking this a little out of proportion. He just offered it for sale if anyone is interested and his reason for it was he doesn't have much time anymore. Never once did he say "If someone doesn't buy this, I'm shutting it down." Just a thought.Originally Posted by travj31
very true... i was just going off the statement lou made previously in the thread about he was "hoping" he did not have to turn it off. I guess "hoping" is the key word there
I think I am just alittle too confused on how it all works to take it on myself. I am sure that with some homework and someone teaching me I could get a handle on it, but I just worry that I wont be able to do it and have to throw it back up for sale.
And honestly I hate to say it, but I would probably have to change the name to steelcitymusclecars or something. I think the biggest thing this site lacks is traffic. With it being a sole mustang site (yes i know its the point and yes I know some people dont have mustangs including me), but someone who just searches the internet with a nice car thats not a mustang looking for a local place sees this doesnt give it a second thought cause they dont have a mustang.
Thats my personal opinion though. But I know for a fact that I didnt sign up on here until I got my first mustang because I thought it was a mustang only site.
Scott... 1/2 the people here are GM nutswingers lol
I think that the name doesn't mean much as there are members all over the board on the ownership front. But the biggest part of this site is it represents an entity of a car community if nothing else. I dont know how much brand power it has, but its something people can relate to, its just about bringing people out of the woodwork to build that community.

If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump
Another thing is that there is a lower ratio of know it all dick heads than the "all enclusive" gear head place.
Drop the brand specific, loosen the moderation as on not closing a thread if something does not fit the elementary school days routine and watch it grow. I mean don't close a thread if there is an argument or debate. Open it up. It will thrive.

I agree with Rob 100%.. We are all mature adults here and yes we act like kids sometimes, but it livens up the place. I agree with others that if its a personal attack then yes that crosses the lilne, but having a different opinion and expressing it is not a bad thing.
If someone does something to their car and wants opinons not everyone is going to like it and I dont think its wrong to say you dont like the wheels or you would change this. If someone doesnt want opinions dont post a pic and ask for opinions.
brand specific really closes the "market" on an already small "market" when you do a regional thing. This is not a national site so its really hard to go brand specific. I am not saying open it up to every car on the road. But to bring Dodge, Ford, and GM v8s/v6s will help alot and still wont bring in it too many people where it will turn into a pittspeed.
Also if you drop brand specific you will probably get more sponsorships, which equals more spread of mouth which equals more people which equals more traffic which equals more events and meets and allows the acquiring of t-shirts, stickers and so forth to become a reality.
I been on the site for a LONG time and been very active ever since and love this site, but lately its been dead. I remember getting on and having 4 pages when i clikced new posts, but now to get there i have to wait to log in for a week or two.
This is a for sale ad, but whoever does decide to take over and wants it to become a huge success (im not saying its not a success already cause I love lou and thank him for doing this for so long) needs to take this into consideration and take suggestions into consideration.
Well said Scotty. This was my exact thought also.

Y would drop brand specific it's STEELCITYSTANGS .
This might sound weird, but I actually think its good to keep it somewhat specific.... other than a couple of A$$CLOWNS on this site, i think its a good place to be..... If you completely open it up, it will become another Pittspeed - and that's something that i doubt very few around here would like....

Noooooo!!! We do not need a Pitt speed.
I know the idea was tossed around before about opening it up to something more like a general site. But hey, this is a for sale ad, not a suggestion ad.
