OK guys,
I have a feeling I know the answer to this question but I want feedback from you all. I really want you guys to vote so I will be sending a mass email with a link to this thread.
I have decided there should be a decision made about this forum. Since you guys are the ones that make this forum successful I want you all to be instrumental in the decision where we go from here.
We have four choices:
1) Stay here at
http://www.GMPerformance.org/hbody. If we do so we can move the site to
http://www.GMPerformance.org but keep in mind we'll get people registering who probably don't own H-Bodies. Also, it will be harder for non-users to find this site because it is not a root level site. Forums run on root level domains (i.e.
http://www.GMPerformance.org) tend to get higher search engine placement.
2) I have been in touch with Dennis Brown over at H-Body.org. I made him an offer I hope he can't refuse. He has agreed to allow his domain to be the new home for this board. In essence, you will see this board when you load
http://www.H-Body.org . He will allow me to retain full administrative rights of the board. The transition will be simple and seamless for many of you. For about a month I will have a forwarding script send you to H-Body.org if you try to load this forum.
3) We go back to V8Monza.com and I give Bob this board as a zipfile and let him do what he wishes.
4) Start a new website named
http://www.H-BodyForums.com or something. The bad part is we may fracture the community.
Now, I have my own personal feelings invested here but I will keep them out of this thread. I want feedback from you all, even if it's only a vote. This is a very important decision to make so don't carelessly vote. Think about what you want. Think about what you would want others to want. And think about where you think H-Bodies will be in another 25 years.
Keep in mind that preservation of these vehicles should be protected at any cost. President Ronald Reagan once said, "Surround yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't interfere as long as the policy you've decided upon is being carried out."
I will abide by what you all decide.
Sincerely,
Colin Opseth
