LOL at it.com being the civil solution among racing web boards.
Under the circumstances, I think it would be a good idea to expand the concept a little to more comprehensively accommodate the STx world.

Keep it separate AND keep it simple... The more simple it is the better IMO. Let us know the per person budget/goal.
Sort of site related, does Bill still race and can you still get stuff from Bildon Motorsports, for some reason I had thought they closed but I notice the adds all the time on this site?? I am not saying they are not, but I would like to see someone go after "advertisers" that are relevant and a resource to all of us... I haven't noticed new adds in a long time. Another idea to raise money would be some sort of inexpensive marketplace for vendors to post sales and offers.
No matter what happens, I like this site... If it goes I will be bummed but I understand as we have seen a decline in postings. The content is generally more focused and we don't have to sift through all sorts of random or political posts unrelated (not talking about spammers) I do like the other sites for what they are... Large crowds and some other funny an informative stuff I wouldn't otherwise know about.

I definitely think that the blue board and the brown should be separate. Even though there is a significant overlap of members and discussions there are very different personalities as mentioned above - attitudes, search engine availability, etc..
Another this to consider is that this forum as a subforum of the brown board would presumably be done without the current owner and all of the history (218,000+ posts would be unavailable).
With the costs mentioned by Dave and Ron, I suspect then entire cost of the upgrade and reinstalled would be under $500 and could easily be raised from respondents to this thread. Heck, we may even be able to buy tGA's lunch on the day of the upgrade.
With admin control in our hands, the STx forums could be enhanced and Touring forums possibly added.

Yea, Bills a great guy, and don't shoebox him into just ITB, he made speed in an ITS Corrado as well.
I think the obvious play is to upgrade this to filer registrations, and do it in such a way as to not lose the history and membership here. I've been wondering when somebody was going to ask for $$.
lets figure out a budget and do a drive. i'm sure the $$ and maybe a hosting budget could be raised.

Seeking cash for advertising on websites that don't have huge draws isn't an easy, at least for me.

Thank you sir!!!
Well, you know, it's all relative. Clearly I've visited one too many of the PP threads on the brown board...Originally Posted by Knestis
