I'm back in the game....Too late? Where is everyone?
Well after a several year hiatus I'm ready to pick up where I left off with my car. Definitely kicking myself now for selling all the parts I had, geez.
But anyways why is it so dead here?!?!

Re: I'm back in the game....Too late? Where is everyone?
I've been wondering the same thing for a while now. Are all the cars in the junk yard now?

Re: I'm back in the game....Too late? Where is everyone?
I recently got back into a Mach 1 but I never left this site, just didn't post as much. And even though I didn't have a Mach 1 I still hungout with a group of people I met because of the Mach 1 and still look for local Mach 1 related events on here.
This website/forum is what we make it. If either of you can make the trip to Pa. the Carlisle Ford Nationals is a great show, we have a good time and have been doing this for 13/14 years now. This May 2017 marks 15 years of the Mach 1 Registry.

Re: I'm back in the game....Too late? Where is everyone?
the m1R facebook page is more active, not as useful imho (hard to search) but thats the way all the forums seem to be going. That and lets face it, most of the stuff for this platform has been pretty well covered

Re: I'm back in the game....Too late? Where is everyone?
Most users ever online was 591, 06-29-2007 at 05:46 PM
The above statement I guess was the pinnacle of the forums. I think this forum does pretty well for 15,000 cars being built. Not everyone knew what they bought and not many people knew about the website. This website was the reason I even knew about a 2003 Mach 1 and basically sold the car for Ford.

Re: I'm back in the game....Too late? Where is everyone?
Man I feel the same way. Leave for a few years and come back and it's like a ghost town. Sad.
I hate all the facebook groups anyways.

Re: I'm back in the game....Too late? Where is everyone?
Definitely a bit of a ghost town, but still better than the FB groups. The groups are a fire-and-forget communication method. Nobody searches FB. If it's more than a couple of days old, it might as well have never been said.

Re: I'm back in the game....Too late? Where is everyone?
Nice to see old members posting again, new members do get on board from time to time, and many of the friendships started here still remain especially when it comes time for Carlisle.
Considering it's a car that hasn't been built for 13 years and the Registry is nearly 15 years old, the fact that it still exists and continues to see posts daily is pretty cool.

Re: I'm back in the game....Too late? Where is everyone?
It seems that most people are moving away from forums and doing the social media thing. It's sad because the info is lost there and in forums it isn't. Ok, maybe not lost, but harder to dig up. I'm a member of Moddedmustangs.com and over the last few years it has died down a lot also. You can't beat forums, just my thoughts.

Re: I'm back in the game....Too late? Where is everyone?
I like the forums too. Seems like all the forums member numbers are down because of Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and others.
Glad you got another Mach!

Re: I'm back in the game....Too late? Where is everyone?
I may not post much, but not dead over here. Just finished up a t56 magnum swap at the end of last year( 99% complete) have a nx wet kit in the basement waiting for my lazy azz to install, going to try to get into self tuning this year, and have a teksid doner with a forged rotating assembly ( still haven't torn down the old motor and assembled the rotating assembly yet)for when I blow it up or it's time to go twinscrew and spray.

Still here and look at the site at least once a day. Just don't sign in unless I'm going to post something.

Re: I'm back in the game....Too late? Where is everyone?
Yup. That's it exactly. I am a member of some turbo 2.3 SVO forums and they are dead mostly too. Even the generic old school 2.3 TurboFord site is dead. Every day our cars fade into the past a little more. Every year a few more end up destroyed. It would help a lot if Ford puts out a new Mach 1.

I get in twice a day, mostly read and enjoy posts.
Agree that this site is much better than FB. |
