What happens to the supporting member funds now that the site is owned by a corporation?
I can't see why anyone would want to give money for this site anymore. Most of the rules are ridiculous, they clearly don't look out for whats best for the members, especially when it comes down to money (see vendor relations ie tbyrne thread for example).

Just my opinion...
I gave money to this site because I believe in giving something back to something from which I gotten so much.
Because of my participation here - I have learned so much about owning a Corvette. I knew nothing when I first started out (though I thought I knew it all.) Because I had the opportunity to spend time around people that had so much knowledge, but more importantly, were willing to share that knowledge - I am richer for the experience.
Because of this site - I have made friends with some of the best people I have ever met - even though I have only met them online. Just take a look at the thread that was started in OT by cor07vette about meeting the parents of Mike Holt (Welladjusted). Take a look at what this site does for St. Jude's. Take a look at all of the other threads over the course of a year that demonstrate the humanity of the people that are members here. I want to be a part of that.
Frankly - I don't come here looking for answers anymore. I rarely feel the need to ask a question - I only come here for a couple of reasons. I come here to be with my friends, and I come here hopefully to offer a little help and sometimes to offer a little bit of sarcastic humor.
I hope you find whatever you're looking for, and it sounds like this site isn't giving that to you. Best of luck where ever you go to find it.
