Anyone planning to go? Coming into town and forcing my kids to wander around and look at old car parts on Saturday.

That's it, I really need to be a moderator now. This busting on us boomers has to stop! Don't these young fucks know that they are supposed to be polite and respect their elders?
Relax, grandpa 😁

I'm disappointed, but I'm not surprised. I ditched Facebook years ago, and I don't think I'll join back up just for CR.
I believe I was a member on the first day, joined up after coming over from COFBA. 20 years is a long, good run. Met a lot of good people on this site, I can honestly say I would not have been into cars as much as I was if it wasn't for CR and COFBA. I don't post much, but I still get on almost every day just to catch up. I'll totally miss that.

So why not let it run as is until it can no longer run??
Money. Hosting and backups cost ~$75/mo.
Also, security. We're on an old ass (and vulnerable) version of Apache and PHP and Ubuntu operating system that's 12 years old.
And time. I don't want to put the time to building up a more secure place to host such old shit, nor do I want to put the time in to fixing all of the stuff that breaks when performing an upgrade so it can run on newer shit, for a site that gets dozens of users a month.
I'm open to discussing handing things off to someone, if someone wants to put the money and time into bringing things up to current spec.

Din sumone offer to buy it for 38k. Lol rekt

Chris, will sponsorships, etc. for vendors still be available and expected? I fully support kicking in some money to keep things rolling there. Just let me know.
Not at this time, but very much appreciated.

I set up a Slack account for CR for our chatbox buds - let's give it a whirl.

Friends - the time has come to shut down the forums. The software is super old, the newest versions won't upgrade cleanly so we can move to more modern (and cheaper) hosting, and our traffic has dropped to the point it's just not viable to keep things up any more. At the end of the month I'll be taking the site down and archiving a backup of the database and code. Now is the time to save any content you want to keep.
Discussion has largely moved to the Facebook group and will live on there: https://www.facebook.com/groups/108279778939
Personally, I want to thank all of you for your friendship and all the memories we made through the years. Since Anthony founded the group in 2001 (and many of us hanging out in the Columbus DSM and COFBA days since 1999/2000 and earlier) this is a bittersweet end to a platform that brought us together from all makes and models of motorsport and helped form lifelong friendships. We all leave the forums with memories of parking lot hangouts, Steak and Shake at 2am, racing in the middle of night and in the middle of nowhere, track days, dyno days, and lots and lots of banter and bullshit.
Whatever you do in the future, we hope it's awesome and wish for all of us to continue the hobby and passion we love.
