Member Since: Jul 2007



Corvette forum has seemed to be really stingy with the sticky thing, That is why I am not doing a Corvette Forum/Corvette slideshow this year. It just get lost in the threads, Too much work for that to happen.
Mr.Bill

Let's take a minute my fellow C5 forum friends and let's share our thoughts on this matter. I Hope I'm Not Speaking Out-Of-Line...But...The C5 Corvette Forum "Will NEVER Be The Same" without the Corvette SlideShow.
My wife doesn't share my love for the Corvette Forum and thats cool, But because of the Corvette Slideshow...She can tell You who Mr. Bill is!!! (And so can I)
If you Gentlemen want Mr . Bill to continue and you want this forum to know it, then let's send this thread OVER THE TOP. Let's get to posting those replys in the best intrest of us all!
Let's hear it for Mr. Bill!!!

I'll go first.

I really enjoy your slideshow and definitely think it should be a sticky.

Been here 5 years or so...have no clue what this is about so not having it won't effect me personally.


Hope you guys get whatever it is you're after, though.

Where have you been if you have never looked at Mr. Bill's annual slideshow posted as a sticky? You really don't know what you are missing. I was very surprised when it was moved from sticky. It should be put back today and the stickys that are there are good posts but whats wrong with having one more that will make it easy to go to and view anytime you want. I agree Mr. Bill, it should not be buried deep in pages of posts. A lot of work and appreciated by many.

If they're not interested in making it a sticky, I'm sure someone in Hollywood will pick up on it. I don't thing Steven Spielberg has done anything Corvette related yet.

OMG! For those of you "in the dark", Mr. Bill would put an amazing slide show each year of members and their vette(s). All one needed to do if they wanted to be included, was send Mr. Bill a picture to an email address, and he would magically arrange everything including neat backround music. This was then put into a sticky where you could view it, or download it. Mr. Bill put on an amazing show, and I for one would hate to see it stopped. Mr. Bill, you rock!!

I love the slideshow you do and I was hoping you would be doing it again. Have you contacted the moderators and ask them to make it a sticky so it will be available for new members to see throughout the year?
