One is the lonliest Number!
I have been on here of late only to find I am the only member on here with a handful of visitors. There are a few of us Core members but not anywhere like it use to be. I know our cars are aging and most owners are now 3rd and 4rth to own them. If it not for Falcongtho3 , there would not be any sign of ownage to this site, and he is not even the owner. Maybe with a new Mach 1 from Ford it will resurrect some of the glory days.

Re: One is the lonliest Number!
I still check in at least once a day but nothing noteworthy to add most of the time.
If there is a new Mach1 it might draw some traffic but honestly most of it's on stupid Facebook now. Most of the forums that are doing well its the general BS areas driving most of the traffic.

Re: One is the lonliest Number!
the worst thing about FB etc... is the tech knowledge is so scattered it's hard to dig it back up again and 99.9% of people don't even try to search. I think the number of people utilizing search on forums is a lot higher.
Print is hard to keep alive - if we can all see everything going on right now who the hell wants to see it in a magazine 3 months later? Everything gets leaked via social media and such so it's not like magazines can really keep anything under wraps unless it's their own internal project.

Re: One is the lonliest Number!
I'm just a throwback that doesn't do the FB thing. I'm here at least twice a day checking in and glad to see those who do show up. I still think in the long run this is the place to be. The amount of knowledge and history here, as well as the photos in the gallery make it worth hangin on to.

Re: One is the lonliest Number!
Since I re acquired a Mach I've been on here more, usually once a day to check in.
Must say for a two year production car traffic on here is a lot less than the mercurymarauder site I'm on, more daily post on there for a two year run car.

Re: One is the lonliest Number!
Hello everyone, I'm part of the problem. I haven't been on this forum in ages. I'm an original owner and one of the lucky ones to see it being assembled back in the day. I've barely gotten over 12k miles on it. The miles I did put on it has been fun though...Mustangs Across America Event (partial) and during the 50th celebration in Charlotte when a small group of us from work cruised down together from Dearborn. One of the highlights of that was following Art Hyde there. A lot of good memories in that car. Now i'm debating on trying to sell her to finance a GT350. Decisions.

Re: One is the lonliest Number!
I check the site at least once a day. Just nothing to post about. If someone does post a question all they really have to do is search and it has been answered 10 times since I joined... 16 years ago! I don't want to be that guy that always posts, 'do a search' or 'its already been answered please search!' haha! Actually I have posted that a few times.. lol
If the Mach 1 was produced over the years like the Bullitt has been I am sure this site would be booming. This site is awesome for info but our cars and original owners like myself, really don't have much to add that hasn't been said in the last 17 years the site has been going! And it's Winter here! haha Have a great day all, new and old! Greg Fonger (gfong) Last edited by gfong; 01-21-2020 at 10:13 AM. Reason: punctuation |

Re: One is the lonliest Number!
I was tardy to the forum party. I didn't join any Mustang forums until 2012. I had an 88GT around 2005 for a couple of years and didn't even think to look for something like a forum LOL. I was just excited to see a website like 50resto.com haha. Anyway, once I got my Mach 2012, M1R was the first forum I joined. After the first year or so, I really feel like I missed the good years of forums. Even then, it seemed like all the forums out there were seeing less and less traffic. I really like the format and value of the forums and M1R has always been my favorite. I even tried to start a Mustang forum with a couple other fellas. There's just so many other ways the younger crowd tends to be drawn to. I hope this one never goes away!

Re: One is the lonliest Number!
I log in every day, sometimes twice a day. I'm just not technical or mechanical but I enjoy washing and waxing my Mach to keep it as clean and nice as I can. So I just don't have much to add.
I've also have had the opportunity to meet maybe 7 -8 members (and past members) on here. I would have never met them without the Mach. I had a flat a week or so ago. Discount Tire wouldn't fix it because my tires were 12 years old . Only had 10k miles on them but they looked brand new with as much tire prep as I've put on the tread and sidewalls. Time flies when you're having fun. Big Ron |

Re: One is the lonliest Number!
I do come on to check on things and like you said sometimes I'm the only one on. I'll still always visit although I do visit the FB page also.

Re: One is the lonliest Number!
Honestly still come on a couple times a week. Drive the car pretty much daily still. Even with the my GT in the garage the Mach still gets the nod.
I have found those times as well that I am the only one on here. Do miss the great and vast conversations we once had. Besides after almost 17 years on here I am just shy of 5k posts... need some more activity so I can break the 5k mark lol

Re: One is the lonliest Number!
Yes this place is FILLED with excellent info. Not as much action as a few years ago but I've been logging on a few times a week now that I have a Mach back in my garage after a few years without one.
The sad part is as I try and make this Mach like my old one, I realize all these parts have become rare and hard to find... Cdc floor mats Black billet fuel door 10th ann cobra wheel and shifter boot Retro guage bezels I'm constantly looking for all these!

Re: One is the lonliest Number!

I have completely brought my engine bay back to OEM, and you are right! If not for E-Bay and members on the Reg, I would not have found what I was looking for. The air silencer so many of us threw away isn't even on the exploded view of parts at the Ford Parts counter! I do still have an after market CAT back, and although I love the sound. I do miss the Factory rolled tips and that it was Factory throughout!
