Anyone see this yet??

[BlackSnake]

Did Chris take down the "DFWSTANGS" thread over there. I do not see it anymore

Someone did, BUT!!! Chris left us with this...

"If you do have any further questions or comments, please post back and I will answer or you can send me a PM."

Right, just throwing that out there. It's just not even an argument without a legal binding document.

If the right thing was going to happen, it already would have.

I still do not see the point in making a new forum.

I don't think another forum is the right answer either. My reply to whiteboy's post was basically meaning there is still value in something besides what physical money you invest, especially in something like a local car forum that requires real people(members) to make it successful. The personal investment is still worth something, regardless of what some people may think. Just like I doubt many people will work for free anymore, which is basically what Jose has done all these years, or so I am told.

To go a step further, what would be your reaction if the tables would have been turned and Jose had agreed to sell it without letting Chris know anything in advance? Not saying Jose would ever do something like that, just a scenario.

No, Fred just called Chris a nigger, though.

LMAO!! Where is the thread I do not see it?

If Chris was in fact the man responsible for all of the finances, upkeep, etc of the site... then that seems a hell of a lot more significant than being the "face" of a website.

Think of it this way-
Jimmie Johnson is the face of Lowes on the NASCAR track, but ill be damned if he has any say in what goes on in the Lowes corporation... and Lowes could sell the team and kick ole' Jimmie the fuck out if they damn well pleased.


If what Chris said is true, then it was his site. The man who pays for everything and maintains it all has more of a leg to stand on (from a legal standpoint) than a guy with no formal contract regarding initial ownership or responsibilities.

I feel for Jose, but I have never met him (or Chris) so I feel that I am relatively neutral in this whole matter. I apologize if my post comes off as displeasing or rude.

you have a fucking machine gun. you dont need to apologize!

god bless.

So does everyone believe Jose would have ponied up $15-20k for the site? I dont know Jose like that so I dont know if that is a drop in the bucket for him or not. Truely sounds like autoguide sent Chris an offer and this was something lingering in the back of his mind for some time and took it on a spur of the moment decision.

There is talk about trying to arrange a meeting with Jose but no idea if it was before, during or after. Im willing to bet it was after and Jose was already pissed about it though.

It's done and over with. Bickering over it isn't going to change anything. Now we just wait to see what happens.

Not really a good analogy, IMO. A local car forum is made up of people(usually car enthusiasts in form or another) that make it go round and round. Those members are why advertisers pay to advertise on a forum and thus makes the forum some money. Without said members advertisers would not want to waste money and be a part of something not worth their while hence that website would not be worth diddly squat if it not for the hard work on someone being the "face" of DFWS to attract and keep people interested and continuing to go to that site.

I think between him and the members we might have ponied up the cash.

the only problem with your statement is we dont know if the site even really sold for that much. Might have been $5k and Chris was happy to dump it.

I bet if Jose couldnt swing the cash, stangers would have come to the rescue.

[mustangguy289]

The old site is way too slow now.

[Leah]

So, should Leah be getting a cut of the pie?

HELL YES!!! Where's MY fucking cut?? Hood rich, here I come!

The value of the site is not in the hardware or software but in the member base. Without that you just have a computer sitting there.

1000 active members, say the average donation was $20, then yeah, I'd say so.
