Announcement - SuperMotors.net Ownership Change

E. Long · 2010-01-01T11:26:01-06:00

Hi Everyone, After 5-1/2 years of operating SuperMotors.net (launched in May 2004) and nearly 12 years of operating SuperFord.org (launched in '98 and converted to SuperMotors.net in May '04), it's time for me to move on and I'm excited to announce a new owner of SuperMotors.net effective today. New Owner SuperMotors.net is now owned and operated by [url=http://www.supermotors.net/users/dnevins]Dana Nevins . Dana is heavily involved in the aftermarket automotive community and already operates other enthusiast sites ( FordFZone.com and BroncoZone.com ). I'm confident Dana will give the site the attention it deserves and introduce new and better features for all users. Why the ownership change? I shared equal ownership of the site with two long-time friends and auto enthusiasts, Kirk and Elliot. Four years ago (2006) I relocated from Minnesota to North Carolina for my professional career, and that began the decline of new development and time the three of us were able to collectively dedicate to the site. Because the three of us were no longer able to meet in person, and as our professional careers became more and more time-consuming, we reached the conclusion that we were not doing the site and the members any favors by not continuing to improve and grow the site. At that point we thought it would be best to find someone that could take over ownership of the site and take it to the next level we had always hoped to take it to, but no longer had the time for. Will anything change? All existing services and paid membership subscriptions will remain as-is. I am still confidently keeping all of [url=http://www.supermotors.net/users/erlong]my vehicle registry entries, photos, sounds, and videos on SuperMotors.net. Dana will add his comments on any improvements and new features he has planned. Thank you Over the past couple of years I have been less involved in forum discussions and the automotive community, so for those of you I did correspond with via email, in forums, or otherwise, I wanted to thank you for using the site and look forward to your continued use of the site under Dana's ownership.

How about HD videos? I'm tired of cutting track videos into sections (typically 30 minutes long down to 10) for YouTube because of their time limit. With that we'd also need bigger filesize limits, somewhere from 1GB would be fine.

Thanks!

If you ever owned a Bronco you might know me from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard? I manage about 50 automotive aftermarket eCommerce websites also.

Hey guys, so the old server that we were on finally bit the dust last night. Luckily we were basically just about done converting the whole site to work on our servers so we went ahead and took the new server live. The first thing you will notice is that everything is FAST and responsive, my only fear is that there might be a few little bugs here and there. If you find anything please don't post it here email me directly right away [email protected] for the fastest response, of course you can post here if you have any positive remarks though

Thanks,

Dana

Not able to open the email login page...has this changed, or are you still ironing out the bugs from the crash?

As a suggestion, a email login page link would be real handy on the page that comes up when you login to the site...it has links for everything except email login.

Thanks, and welcome aboard!

Thanks Dana, for the fast tech support.
I'm glad ya kept it...I've been using it for so long, I'd miss all kinds of mail without it now.
Hopefully the new setup will allow me to filter out some of the spam better.
Thanks for everything dude!!!
