[whatthe]

Putting this out there. If mods/admin wish to create a Members Ride/Car diaries section for member who wish to create a diary?
As certain members are putting it in General Chat and some are putting it in Multimedia.

Cool idea, small update though, call it a journal. Its a bit more manly

[presure2]

i wish we had some way of making changes to the site.
but since chris is the only one who can, and is never around, it isnt going to happen any time soon, sorry.

^^^ lol,

i have been asking for the ability to get extra pictures, but I know it never happens, my biggest fear is one day this site will be non-existant, and then what?

Lets be thankful he still has it on the air. Thats at least something......

If this site ever dies, what will happen to all the knowledge?

ok completely off topic but i have to say i have the same fears... i mean... i get all my parts here... sell all my parts here... share all my knowledge and have learned so much...

i think it may be appropriate to start a little fundraiser for coomer... i mean hes kept this thing running for so long and doesn't even have a celica!!

with the permission of the Mods, i want to start a fundraiser for coomer... i think a lot of people would be happy to pitch in a few bucks to make sure this thing stays alive... i mean look how many people we have on here daily... members... if everyone pitches in a 10 spot... just a thought

[presure2]

permission denied.

i've talked with chris before about taking some $ from members to run the site, hell, i've offered to cover the costs myself to keep the site up to date and to keep adding features, ect. he just wont accept it.
my hands are pretty much tied up at this point as far as the site is concerned.
its really starting to feel like the old celica.net site that ended up leading to this site, and later celicatech being created because of this very kind of problem. (the og's will know what im talking about here)
its really a shame.

[njccmd2002]

wow i just saw that site, its really dead no new posts in one year....

so thats the story behind this site... Its a shame.. It always happens that way.

i believe there is only but a few hundred members that keep this site active, all the good ones are selling their cars..

Don't worry guys! A good portion of those members who keep this site alive sold their Celicas a long time ago . It's a really good site, and for every member who sells their Celica, there is a new Celica owner. New Celica owners are going to be the future of the site, so for those current owners who decide to sell their Celicas, please take 6gc.net into consideration and watch who you sell your car to .

I've mentioned to Coomer multiple times about a paid membership with extra benefits: larger PM box, more pics, Premier Members only where there are no 'rules' really.... They did this on my350z.com and it works awesome. I paid $30 for a year and the 'anything goes' section alone is worth the money. Also we get a little "premier member' emblem under our name.

[supershannon77]

That would be awesome DB but I think Coomer is gone...I sent him a message on facebook for permission to use the 6gc logo but he never got back. Its sad but he did create a great site. I would def pay for a Premier membership.

[dustin15brown]

I messaged him again today, and I still have his cell number and I might give him a ring

[manphibian]

It is a shame......

Coomer never responds to any messages i send......

As soon as a few of the main posters sell their Celicas, this site will die

[supershannon77]

The sad part is I have this odd feeling Coomer doesn't mind if this site fades away He seems like a really nice guy but just lost interest in Celica's completely.

I saw he was working on an iphone app for his other sites...a 6gc app would be cool lol.

I don't see why he doesn't hand the site over to Manny who can lets say make griffgirl a mod and she can do all the programming or w/e that goes into a site.

[SwissFerdi]

^I would agree with that, maybe not the handing-it-over-to-Manny part...

But that would work. I could see Luke running the site as well..

[njccmd2002]

there is only about ten users that contribute with 90% of the knowledge here, the rest of us are just learning.

Its a shame this site is not as active as it was 2 years ago, when i came in, more people doing real swaps, now is all very quiet, here and there. Nothing really exciting going on...

i don't know about that.... the swap section has been pretty busy lately it seems.... it seems everyone is jumping into a 3s swap now...

this thread makes me sad

IIRC Coomer went into the chatroom around a year ago and there were only 2 or 3 ppl in there at the time. Hope he doesn't think that was a sign of things to come!! It was late at night like around midnight. He said the basics--"Hi how's it going?"...etc. IDK if he's tried since or still drops into chatroom.
I would also VERY MUCH consider an anual fee or donation to keep this site going. I mean I have learned some stuff from MANY of you individualy & reading threads. There is SO MUCH MORE to learn & share!!
The Haynes book is ok, but details aren't covered very well--this community fills in the blanks!!AND THEN SOME!!!
Parts, ideas, pics, feed back, YOU FOLKS, etc-- CAN NOT BE REPLACED!! 6GC is a FANTASTIC SITE!
WOOTS to the mods for ALL THEY DO also!!!!

(edit)
I don't want ANY ownership-- I have no qualms paying dues!!

I'm really sad reading what is written here aboit Coomer... . 6gc.net is great place and only one "home forum" I have. Ther are many other forums I participate but this is only one I feel like at home... It would be really sad to find out this site is fading away.

[SwissFerdi]

^ Then it's up to the members who care (like us) to contribute if necessary. I'm down to donate if need be. But if something were to fail with the code and the site would crash, and only Coomer could fix it...we'd all be royally f*cked.
