Alright, I'm gonna pipe up here for a second.
Move along if this doesn't intrest you.
This site is losing good members to utter bull$hit. I have yet to give a penny to this place, I have yet to buy a t-shirt, I've got the decals but who doesn't. If it came down to it, I'd open my wallet. I'm sure there are a bunch more of us here too.
We've lost 2 good contributing members over the past few months. All because of a difference in views. Total bullshit if you ask me. That's the beauty of this place, we have different views on things, but one thing remains the same.... we enjoy the same car.
I'll be the first to admit, this place is not the greatest place on the planet for Focus info. Let's just deal with it.
There are other ways to contribute to this site better than money in my opinion.
Do things like, organize meets. A place where we can all get together and talk cars, talk family, talk s**t, whatever we want. I think the fact that this site has a huge fan-base of people who genuinally care about eachother is support enough. There isn't a guy on here I would't extend my hand to in a time of need. And that's what this place is (was) all about.
The fact that we can organize a camping trip, convoy out there 8 people deep, have a wicked weekend, and not discuss cars for one single second says something to me. It says this place isn't about cars. I'ts about making friends, networking, contacts etc.....
There are about 6 guys on here I have known for about 4 years, and consider good close personal friends. That to me is FocusCanada.
The focaljet is a perfect example of this. There is about as much personality there as the waiting room in my doctor's office. No individuallity. It's like stopping by a buisiness, Not a cool place to hang out like this place is.
What can you do to contribute??? Come out to the BBQs, come out for beers and wings, be supportive, get involved. I can't stand people who sit at home on their computers bitching about how shitty this place and never see them at a meet.
I'm probably wasting my breath, I just don't want everyone jumping ship over something so ghey.
See you on the patio.
