For the record folks - CICCI is a car club .org is not. The reason there are fee's is we do events, Carlisle, Dragon etc. We want to do a lot more and as time goes by that will be the case. We also had start up fee's, website, software licensing legal etc. the events we participate in are open to all, members or not. I don't know of anyone who has been turned away from our Dragon Barbecues for instance because they were not a member of CICCI.
CICCI does not own the content on .org. period. We never said we would??? We wanted another site with back up infomation should .org go down. We do have a technical area on the CICCI forum but it is no where near the wealth of info that is stored here on .org.
Julian owns this site. Is it for sale? Don't know, everyone seems to want to buy it. He obviously doesn't want to sell it right now.
Someone mentioned administrators........we do what we can with the tools we have and right now that ain't much. Admins that are reachable? We are all "reachable" by pm, e-mail. Julian is the only one who is hard to reach. Please understand he has tied our hands here as well. If we could fix the problems we would have a long time ago. We very much understand the frustration here. CICCI's forum is not set up the same way. The same issues that affect this forum can not, will not affect that forum. Membership, uploading photos have been broken since early December. I know for a fact that Julian is aware of these issues and he chooses not to fix them so far. The very lifeblood of a web site is "new members". Sorry I don't get it?
I know some of you resent, hate, whatever, CICCI. I respect your opinion, some people just don't like the idea of belonging to a club, some think we are an evil organization trying to take over the world with lasers and **** probes. Sorry that's not the case. We don't have the time, the money or the will to do that. We just want to be a car club, simple as that and our forum is our club house. If you are a member and you don't post there, don't show an interest in the club then why is that any different then what is going on here? A lack of interest from a certain person here and you all see where its gotten us?
