Thanks to you guys(and gals)

[NJSPEEDER]

well, here it is two years later. i was just doing some cleaning and found some of the notes from the first day this club existed. hard to believe that this went from two guys bs'ing and putting back a few brews into a 1000+ member club with ties all over teh country.
this whole thing has honestly turned into a lot more than we had ever planned on and it is all thanks to you guys. i am not kidding when i say tht we used to joke about hitting 500 members "someday"
the constant flow of fresh ideas that come from everyone, the bad jokes and subtle humor on the forums and at the meets, and even the handful of clashes we have had with one another are well worth the effort.
thanks to all of you we are in a very unique position in the world of car clubs. we are getting up there in the ranks of some of the largest mark specific clubs in the country, and certainly one of the largest regional car clubs you will find.
for our third year we have some big plans that will be taking shape this fall. we will be moving from our current servor(the crash-o-matic) to a more powerful servor with much more storage and greater control (the bling-o-matic). we will also be stepping into the world of hosting not just events, but an entire racing and car show series.
our new siuation will also bring about a lot of upgrades in the content of the site. we will finally have the bandwidth, processor power, and storage to bring tech articles, f-body historical information, f-body print ads and magazine reviews, and tons of other f-body related info. so stay tuned and keep spreading the word

thanks again for 2 great years. i hope you all enjoy year three and all the rest that follow.

Thanks
Tru2Chevy and NJSPEEDER (aka Justin and Tim)

...we will be moving from our current servor(the crash-o-matic) to a more powerful servor with much more storage and greater control (the bling-o-matic)...What is funny is when I clicked on this the 1st time, I got the dreaded internal server error. :)

Onwards & upwards!

and that was about the moment that the dispute between the two clubs went from nothing to an all out war. lol
i must admit, the last week or two that cryz ran the old club was pretty funny. the arguments were classic and the blame was pointed at whoever's name she could remember at the moment. lol

Yeah but wasn't BigAl supposed to be the savior of the old site? Admin powers and all. :lol:

Nope, i rarely logged on at the time.

[NJSPEEDER]

al did a good job over there cleaning up all the forums and trying to create topics/keep threads moving. it was just too late, the damage had been done and cryz had chased away 90% of those who may have supported the old club already.
a few weeks after she gave al super-mod status, she gave up and handed off full admin access to justin and i.

can I hear the whole story? intresting ****

[LuvMyF8LWS6]

why would you pay to be on a mustang board? :scratch:

Team CJMF-- Paying Members only! It has some perks!

like what? free towing? :razz:

[LuvMyF8LWS6]

Free food at their sponsered events, discounts at many different auto/food/stuff places, boards access and some other cool stuffes.

[NJSPEEDER]

how much are the dues over there?
discounts are offered as part of sponsorship normally, so you really shouldn't be paying for that. board access i don't understand how diffrerent clubs charge for, there are so many free alternatives that i could never imagine paying to post somewhere. i have donated and bought tshirts and stuff before, but never paid membership dues.
free food at club activities sounds cool. we will work on that for a few meets next year :)

thats why i was trying to find out what the perks were, but i didnt see anything special :shrug:

[LuvMyF8LWS6]

It's $25/year membership. It's not that crazy of an amount, and you get some free stuff. For instance, I go to Fudds all the time and get a nice discount! haha But you get free acess into events too. Not to mention I've made a lot of pretty good friends there.

However, I am on this board more often for some reason...:scratch:

[Untamed]

can I hear the whole story? intresting ****

The short version:

A number of people on this board, who signed on shortly after this board was launched, became... disgruntled with the owner of a previous NJ f-body board. As a result, NJFBOA was born out of a drunken stupor-induced rebellion. Being nice people, the new NJFBOA group reached out to anyone and everyone who had f-bodies, or friends of people with f-bodies, other clubs, auto-related companies and enthusiast to make themselves known.

Today... well, you can read Tim's post again.

That's the short, short version.

EDIT: And this is on topic unlike the Rustang club discussion. :wink:

[NJSPEEDER]

can I hear the whole story? intresting ****

the whole story would create the longest single post in our club history by several pages.
the short version is that the person running the old club had some family/personal problems that took up much of her time. this left the board somewhat neglected and disorganized in the eyes of many members.
justin and i talked several times about starting a club to run things the way we thought they should be, it all came to a boiling point one night when justin and i were drinking and she took offense to some statements made on the board.
drunken timmy threw a credit card at drunken justin and said "get us an f'ing web site". along with little g we came up with a club name and minutes later the NJFBOA was born. that was approaching midnight on july 31, 2004
we kept it on the DL for a while as we got the forums started and had a few invited guests giving feedback on what the site should have and what the club should offer. by august 10th we had everything sorted out, and around midnight we went public with the new club/site.
then cryz heard about it, got really pissed, and started trying to mess with us. her rage only served to promote the more layed back style that we had established and she pretty much lost the war of words with in a few weeks.
the club and site haven't stopped growing since.

And as I recall, she moved to NY which kinda made the point of having a NJ site useless. :wink:

Recently, that site was up and running, but went back down after a cpl days.

I dont remember seeing the forums, all I saw was the front page. But there is a post lurking around here with someone mentioning it was back up, thats when I checked.

I was one of those original members to go to the special Fudds meeting! I still have the first flyer that Tim & Justin ever made to hand out to us! Maybe I should frame it :lol:

Jeez that was a long time ago!

well i am glad how this site turned out. I had joined the other site about a month before this site was created, and since it was already going downhill over there i didnt log on much and about a month later, i found my way over here through one of the "argument" posts. i believe i was the 51st member here, lol. To be honest, at first, i felt the site was a little biased towards the ewing crew and their friends, and really no one else. but over the next few weeks as it grew, my feelings changed and i saw the site truly become a NJ site, and as even more time progressed, it expanded outside of NJ even. Even though i dont know evey "main" member by name and face, i have met a few, and all are good people. May the site have many more years of growing, and perhaps for one of the f0body nats, i'll actually have a f body there.

[Brando56894]

the only board i ever went to before this was a hacker/warez/******** type board for ppl all over the world, the admin was in the netherlands and i was a supermod there, since i had been there for like 5 years... then i went to a microsoft hacking/unattended setup board occasionally. then i got my firebird and found camarov6, i joined and got my approval email about 3 weeks later. in between that time i found you guys and rarely ever visit those other boards. definately met some cool people here
