A disaster. Unfortunately it will turn off many previous and future users who may have a somewhat lower level of involvement and enthusiasm about Shelby's. This will be an unmeasurable loss to a hobby that consists of a relatively small population. Don't understand the comment about the Forum being back, there is nothing back. What is back is a completely blank slate - nothing there. A disaster.
With change comes minor hiccups, like todays spammer attack as the holes in the firewall get repaired.
Give it some time, don't make any rash decisions based on the first few days of operation.
Like myself, with countless posts and threads documenting the rebuild of my car to road worthiness, I believe most people will view this not as a disaster, but a fresh start, both to learn from the past, and relearn in the future.
