Cool Get ready to see some old faces

well it looks like john has sold out to Autoforums.com
so look for a lot of old faces coming here to join up.

I will be here
and I am sure a lot of other folks will migrate here as well.

FordForums.com is now a part of AutoForums.com!

I prefer to think of it as "doing us a favour"

saves me looking a two forums now... most people from there will come here

WOW! LunaticSVT really has shot himself in the foot. The real winners will be our admin team here, and those that migrate from FFUS. Interesting times ahead.

BTW, that doesnt look like any forum at all. It just looks like a half @rsed afterthought to me!

For some reason I felt guilty about moving here from FF a while ago (I only found this site a few months ago), but now they can go jump in the creek.

Let's hope the greed desease doesn't spread to this forum one day.

Yeah that other site went downhill VERY quickly...stuff all people actually are on it anyway.

just as an example...I had maybe 60 people look at my forsale thread there..here its been 600! Still no sale yet...shameless plug:

That and the fact that it looks sh|thouse :

I noticed all my photos in the gallery disappeared last week, and there was no option to log in.

I went over there occasionally to poach new members, and the site just looked so dated.

Well that looks bound to die in the ИИИИ big time. CAPA don't seem too happy about it and I don't blame them.

I bloody well hope no one here sells out like that!

FF.com was quiet but it was OK, they have screwed it up now. Dog act to ditch the site and not tell the sponsors, thats cheap.

Probaby lost their money... The owner probably has just bought himself a new 06 stang... so needed the cash! hehe

I only visit this forum now, since i discovered it early last year... much better discussing things with 99% local content!
