I would certainly hate to see the site go away. I've gotten lots of useful information here and the AZ Cobra forum is the main way we desert dwellers communicate about our activities. My 2¢ worth.

This is disappointing to read, especially after having been away from the Cobra hobby for about a decade and having just recently become active on this forum again. It's not surprising, though; as Mr. B intimated other platforms are replacing forums as the communication method. I couldn't recall my password when I wanted to post on here again and it took me several weeks and several different ways of requesting to finally get some assistance with logging in. Still sad. This has been such a great resource for so long, and I personally made some fantastic friends here, who in turn involved me in some Cobra-related activities I never would have dreamed I would have a chance to experience. I hope something can be done to save it if it's truly in danger of going away.

I've heard the same thing here in San Diego several months ago, and cannot remember who said it. I've had problems logging on and figured it was history

Facebook is not threaded, so finding a discussion on a particular subject will be difficult. The Forum method (which is a carryover from VAXNotes, for those who remember, and later Lotus Notes [the discussion portion, later expanded into an integrated corporate mail and database platform) (both by Len Kawell) ). Just before I retired I convinced our ASIC group that a Forum was a better method of having discussions on the chips than by email. One person got tired of being asked and answering the same questions over and over by developers in the US and in the far east. Forums was the answer.

I'm not a Facebook user, but I can see now that CC or any other car forum could not work on Facebook.

I’m a member of several motorcycle-related user groups on FB that are very active. They do function similar to a forum in the sense that people post about things (usually with a picture or video attached, which is much easier do to than on this site), then others post comments below the original post. The main difference is that there is no “index” page where one can go to review current topics and whether there are new posts on those topics. Instead the posts get pushed down the page when newer topics are posted, and you must manually scroll down the page to find an older discussion. It’s clunky at best and much harder to find posts that are more than a day or two old. |

I remember VAXnotes and all the others. Thought I was an antique — well maybe I am but ...

I hope something can be done. Just the information alone has to saved and made searchable. I’m still at a loss to understand why there’s been no posting of why things are the way they are. If Brent is gone from the site, at least turn it over to someone else but don’t just leave it a mess. I guess I’m too computer illiterate to understand why!

What about Brent's other sites? Are they suffering from similar neglect?

I was finally able to find something I could open on Club Cobra since my old log
on just quit opening anything. Now I think I see why. Hope this doesn't disappear because it has been a big help for me to keep my Cobras going, find events, and communicate with friends.

This site is a real help to me anyway
Hi,
I started building my 1 st cobra in 1995, no club, no easy internet help/answers, I had to phone or write...remember mailing letters to suppliers and established builders.
.Made lots of trial and errors but muddled through it. Now my 3rd cobra went way better after years of info and helpful articles on this forum.
.I have made lots of cobra friends and gone on cruises and events that were listed on the club forum.
It would be a sad day not to browse the forum. I have many great memories of this cobra culture 
3 trips down Oregon coast.
2 trips to California.
2 trips to Reno cobra bash(180 cobras were there)
trip to Boise.
many trips to the drag strip.
Too many car shows to count except for winning 'Best in show' with my Daytona cobra at the 2014 Shelby mustang show 
we need to look at this forum as a great resource.
Perry

CC had been quite valuable to me over the years. I'd hate to see it go. Many people have no interest in Facebook or have left it due to politics, privacy issues, etc. I still use FB but it's unbearable during election season which seems to be all the time these days.

I find it hard to understand that the site owner, Brent, won't post a comment on the state of affairs on Club Cobra.

Don't give up quite yet Boy's, we here in PNW are working on keeping this site going. We were able to get a contact # or two today, had one our (Computer Savvy ) tech friends look at this site, it's fixable. As another non-Facebook person this is my Only contact to our Cobra world, and will do everything here to save it. Besides I have way too many friends here, to lose them, Even Karlos Cheers Tom. |
