Same treads on other sites.

The last few weeks I have been trying to wean myself of the Chevelles.com addiction (before I turned into a post-a-holic like Gary)

Is that 3rd site where Gary had his problems?


I agree with the general unrest. I myself started a pretty cranky thread on Christmas, regarding membership renewal issues... Mostly because I just wanted to take a break from reality and talk Chevelles...

I kid myself now, that my Team Chevelle addiction has been kicked... But really, its just been replaced here.

I don't want to single out any one person or small group of people, and I won't. I also don't want to start bashing other sites, and I won't do that either. But here's what I see going on.

TC has changed from a small forum with a few highly dedicated members to a large and very popular site. The original members are pretty much guys who bought these cars new or as late model used, or guys who got into muscle cars in the 70s and 80s when they were cheap and plentiful, with a few exceptions. These guys pretty much just like to talk about cars on the site. Nothing wrong with that.

But as TC gets older and matures, the demographic is changing. Lots of younger guys are getting in, which is good. We want that. That's what keeps this going. We need that. But, the newer members like to talk about stuff other than cars, and mess around, goof on each other, and have a good time. I think the cadre of older members really really hates this. So much so that one of them started his own site and the rest followed. They have their own idea about how it should be run, which is fine for them.

A lot of the newer members I think also got tired of repeated efforts to jerk TC back to what it was before and no longer is, and when this site popped up they started to gravitate here. The people who run this site have their own idea about how it should be run and that, too, is fine.

TC of course will continue to be TC, which is great!
