Default Re: EXCITEMENT

This is why we started the Babes section...so at least we have that to look at if things were slow...but as I wind down to the August (1 year date){still lookin 4 a person to hand it off too!!!}...I am afraid no one will want to take over at least on a daily type basis...and it will fade too...I think that it is too bad...I try to post vids and other things too and this is my favorite site (even over the one Corvz061 and I made on MySpace and my Corvette Mechanic site and the space on CV I got Z06Parrot to create) but I do agree that as it warms up the action is to drive the car and not so much talk here...I think it is because we are a nitch small group and the Net and the other ZR-1 hang out spots (CF,CAC, to name a few) detract as well. The merge of the Net makes the most sense and if that would happen and the CF and CAC all were here I think it would make all the difference! The real problem is that I truly think a lot of folks like the smaller groups because they become intimate with the regular posters and you have "clicks" that form...and that my friends is what keeps us divided in an "nitche" fairly small group to begin with!!! We can't really merge with the Z06 group (they won't/didn't) invite us too nor would we really want too. The only idea I do have is we have a great friend in Z06 Parrot (the owner of Corvette Valley) and his site has international membership and a diverse group of guys and gals and Parrot likes our group...but even if he did set up a special section for ZR-1 in his site(much larger than the current low volume one...and we all went there to post... our group I am afraid would become like CF and CAC just a small part of a larger site and loose the "nitche" appeal. So it "is what it is" a "special vette" with several hangout spots to chose from. If it is slow here then one has to go look elsewhere for the action...kinda like going bar hopping to find where the action is!!! I guess you guys might want to try "Corvette Valley" because it does have a ZR-1 section (pretty slow though like CAC, Crossed Flags and Corvette Mechanic) but the rest of the forum is cooking and lots of fun and I worked hard with Parrot to build a great GALLERY over there (my title he gave me is the Gallery King). Most of those guys and gals are a spin off of DC...a good example of when a site gets pretty large and some defect to do "their own thing"!!! The exact opposite problem we have here!!! The real solution is for MOM to shut down the Net and hope they migrate here and hope the extra volume attracts CF,CAC and the others to come to the "true home of the ZR-1" but I am afraid this will just never be because of the "click" nature of ZR-1 owners in the first place!!! JIMO...................
