Man, I love the internet and all the information that is available out there... but sometimes it is too much text to sift thru.  I don't know whether to concentrate on Aurora Club, Bonneville Club (my old forum home), Oldsmobile Forums, Automotive Forums (->Olds->Aurora), or any others that probably exist out there. How about we all agree on 1 universal forum to post in?  I don't know how you guys/gals do it who are Admins/Moderators at multiple online forums. I barely have the time to post my own threads, let alone read everyone else's!  /end of rant |

Heres how I play it out. BonnevilleClub is like an old shoe, even tho it really doesnt pertain to me, I still post actively and still remain on Staff. But my contributions to the board is minimal, my contribution to the club however is still 100%. When it comes to the majority of my online time, its here. ACNA is just a baby and needs direction, strong leadership and an excellent member base to get it established. I post all of my mechanical information here...as it grows I will probably have to ween of BC and spend more time here. OF is generally a quiet forum, it has a lot of potential but runs very high with competition, esp for Classic Olds, and now that we have this, even the Aurora section is quiet. Personally it comes down to choice, focus your efforts where you feel it best belongs. OR..hehe, hotlink to BC |

Personally i like it here, i was active when i had my taurus over at AutomotiveForums.com, but in the aurora section its only people who have problems and only come there to find a fix for it, this place is more like a community, thats what i like. ;D

 We appreciate the kind words It's good to have you here. Hopefully when we go to our new site, Jim and Amanda will set up an " Infromation Zone" that will house problems and solutions.

Ya, definitely need a Techinfo type section, especially for the typical problems...like FPR that kinda thing. I'm glad our members are enjoying what we have here, the goal that Amanda set out for us back at Day 1 was to be enjoyable yet informative. AF is discouraging IMO...the only thing to read is horror stories over there |

I found some of the information helpful, especially during my rear brake change. I found out that you need a special tool to reseat the caliper piston. All of the forums CAN be helpful, but we strive to be the best of both worlds |

Sounds good to me.. see I knew I could count on everyone for some direction! I like it here too, feels a lot like Bonneville Club (which is what I'm used to) but of course is much more applicable since I now have an Aurora instead!  |

How fabulous… I am so delighted that everyone is really as pleased with this site as I am… Like Jim said I started this site because I wanted an Aurora Community for people to go when the had problems and accomplishments. So thanks everyone for helping create this…
