Any one know what happened to the Ford Tbird Forum "Club" Group ? been down for three days.

I noticed not much going on there before that.

Not familiar with it. Is it a stand alone site or a facebook page?

Seems to be working now. I do not belong to it but do check it periodically.

I had a message from them about a month ago saying that some E Mails were hacked ! Requested to change passwords....

I got kicked out about 6 months ago because I made a criticism about the site. Haven't looked at it since then, but just went back to look (didn't sign up). Was ok for about a week and suddenly I couldn't bring it up. Maybe he still hates me

My experience was very similar to Paul's.

[ward 57]

Ditto! As far as I can tell I'm also banned permanently.
He's very paranoid about his business model almost to his detriment. I can understand as his business model was to be strictly technical info but hawked Ebay stuff for a commission. Hated any reference to CTCI like they are competition?
I hope him well as there was some great info passed back & forth. Many on here also participated as I recognized logons to both.
I have learned and shared much on both and love to learn and help where I can.

I checked last night. I'm now back on. I don't know the reason why I haven't received any notices from the forum. I agree the person running the forum is very picky of what is posted.

[Jeff-55]

The guy who runs it is what I used to call a wussy-pay. Except without the pig-latin.

He is a scared little man with a very big ego.

I too, was called out - and I don't miss his little forum at all.

I gave up on it a few months ago. Answered a few questions for folks, never asked anything. Got a hate letter from the guy. I had suggested to a Poster to check Gil’s Garage at CTCI. The reference to CTCI had been redacted.

I got the same thing but what really flipped him out when I mentioned he also redacted any reference to CTCI in PMs. Any reference or links to any other reference he did not personally vet through his forum were also redacted.

I’ve been on lots of these classic car forums since their inception in the late 90’s. We are blessed to have Joe.

I'll second that. I joined VTCI and just renewed my dues because of this forum.

He threw me out too. He reads everyone's private emails, and I criticized him in a private email to another user.
