I've been a member there for many years and found it extremely helpful following other members' restoration threads, and documenting in great detail my own. Unlike some members though, I made sure every picture I took was uploaded directly to the site and not hosted by some garbage host like ImageShack or Photobucket...when those services crapped out, literally millions of topics on forums everywhere were rendered almost completely useless, full of broken-image placeholders.
My Charger resto was in hiatus for several years but now getting back into action. I unfortunately found that, as Don said earlier, most of the members already finished their projects and there was relatively little forum activity...or they moved to the dreaded Facebook, which I will never join because of all the hacks and compromises and advertising and invasion of privacy it's known for, and because I'm an I.T. manager and know better. Asking questions in the forum nowadays doesn't get much response, unfortunately. The reason I joined here is because I will continue to need advice and ACTIVITY. It's what makes a forum alive.
Lastly, I think the decision to make people register on the site just to access and see the forums is ill-advised. The vast majority of people who want to view forum topics there are NOT 1970 Charger owners, but everyday internet surfers. Preventing them from viewing the topics unless they register is not going to bode well for
1970chargerregistry.com, I'm afraid. I have nothing against that site or Don, I am a fan of both and appreciate what he's doing with the registration numbers, and I'll continue to upload pics and forum posts as my resto progresses, but I'll be doing more of that here, from now on, just because there's an audience.
