Why was there such an abandonment of the old forum? Seems there was a mass exodus and was wondering what the catalysts were.
Why did everyone leave the other forum?

Because all the cool kids are over here

Over moderation. I ended up in a fight with a moderator over a thread that was a year old involving stickers.
-
What were the moderators getting involved for? They shouldn't really be active participants, should they? I am really new to forums....
Also, I saw that the other forum was bought by someone....is this a business? Why would they want to buy a forum? Advertising dollars?
-
Yes the other forum is a business. They sold it shortly after the big dust up. They had an overzealous moderator that made many people angry.
-
That other place is/was a business... This one is a passion and the admins here actually own slingshots.

I just am surprised that the forums are that much of a business....

Forums can be big business. They probably could see that their numbers were slipping and sold quickly.

Just wait until the buyers find out they bought an empty box
Bet they are counting on a bunch of auto renewals that do not exist -

Bet they are counting on a bunch of auto renewals that do not existauto renewals of what? Why did people pay? And if so, for what benefit? Again, I am new to foru,s, so trying to understand the dynamics....
Btw just got my SS three weeks ago....2016 grey base. Upgraded wheels and spent a lot of money at slingmods!

Grats on the ride! They had a premium member option for 14 dollars a year. It was auto renewing and when we initially signed up for it we were bombarded with advertisements.

Btw just got my SS three weeks ago....2016 grey base. Upgraded wheels and spent a lot of money at slingmods!Some members paid for premium membership $15 per year - no real benefits - it was one of the things they did to make the site appear more valuable. But here we get all the benefits and it is all free...that is why everyone is here!
Welcome and congratulations on the new ride!
Be safe

Free? What do you mean free? Cameron told me it was $100 to join! Others got in here for free? What's up with that?
-
Talking about auto renew, I wasn't aware that it was until I found it on here and received instructions on how to cancel it. That is something that the new folks ought to be reminded of as they come over.

@Mmahoney79... This is a Forum run by owners for owners! The other is a 'For Profit' machine run by non-owners ....... Which one do you think would be the better?

I love my slingshot. I will own two hopefully one day. One with a built engine and one with a built boosted engine.
