If I'm understanding the results, the Members List on the top tool bar generates a search list of something like 808 members. Dunno what the criteria are.

I'm neither offended nor did I think that was your intention.

Since there have been only about 15,000 cars built in total, the membership and post volume of all the XLR forums is naturally lower than that of many other cars. That's not half of any single recent Corvette model year production.

Even if the same percentage of owners or fans joined (and I'm guessing they don't), I'd expect the resulting membership and traffic to be significantly lower. Add to that the lack of advertising and support for the car, its relatively short life-span to develop a following, and the arguably different target market, and it's not really surprising.

If there'd been an internet in 1958, some Corvette owners would probably be wondering the same thing.

SINCE MOST OF THE POST TO THIS THREAD HAVE BEEN DELETED WHY DON'T YOU JUST DELETE THE COMPLETE THREAD AND BE DONE WITH IT????????First Robin

:yesnod :iagree :iagree
The thread doesn't even make sense now, with all that has been deleted. I rather enjoyed the bantering back and forth...

I think they are down to one moderator also--Looks like everyone is moving to the other xlr forum. I don't dare post the url for fear of being banished as well. This site is no longer about the cars, but about someone's ultimate power!!

I have been watching the site over the last few weeks, and have noticed what I call a refreshing change. There seems to be less personality issues going on and less bickering. I am very happy as the site is about cars and information. I have had so many individuals over the last 5 years tell me that they were tired of all the bickering and personal attacks on one another on this forum.

My own personal clients, told me it used to be fun to look at what people were experiencing positive and negative with thier XLRs, but then stopped coming to the forum, as it was becoming a personal outlet for some.

Im talking about individuals that signed up as members over the last 4/5 years and just stopped posting because they were saying that the forum had become a personal blog or message board for people and that isn't why they joined.

The excitement of members talking about their own experiences and issues they have had regarding their XLR, seemed to have vanished over the last 6 months or so. In the last month, I received 4 emails from members that have been with the forum for over 4 years, said that the forum seemed to have gotten away from being an information source on the XLR and going in the direction of a personal messaging board.

I have always said, there were so many personal comments on the threads, that it has made it hard to find the question and follow up answers for the individual that is looking for help.

Only a small percentage of individuals can afford to purchase an XLR new, so I believe it is important to have the forum getting back to it's roots and trying to help all the new owners that have questions and concerns about their vehicles and not having to navigate through massive threads that many include huge amount of just personal info that has nothing to do with the XLR.

I for one look forward to helping the old and new XLR owners with their issues and concerns.

Maybe I was not reading the threads with personal attacks and bickering. I'm a new owner of a used car and learned lots here before and after purchase. Here, as with all things on the internet, some is good, some is bad, some is true, some is false. If I read a thread I don't like I move on, pretty easy. Plus there are many categories for the more personal blogging and communication. I know planning the BBB III event it was almost a personal discussion between the 6 or so parties interested in attending.
Anyhow, I hope this all gets resolved in a peaceful manner without loss of membership. This appears to be the premier XLR web site, hope we keep it that way.

Bruce,

I think this was a culmination that began over two years ago. I will be participating again.
