It was brought up several times but it happened pretty sudden. [Frown]

It's surprising but I am sure it's in their best interests when you look at the amount of time and energy that is devoted to the upkeep of the board. It's still sad to see it go...

I learned a lot from the SLP site as well. Lots of thanks go to Dave Hamburger & SLP for making the SLP board a quality site.

I will miss it.

Well, one less thing to worry about in our busy lives.

It's sad and unfortunate to see the board go without a halfway decent sendoff, like not being able to say goodbye to everyone.

Of course, you would THINK that they could have at least warned us the board was, indeed, going the way of the F-body.

It appears that there may be some restructuring going on to reduce costs, which, in this day and age, unfortunately is commonplace.

To all my SLP board brothers and sisters, it was a fun ride, and it screeched to a halt ~almost~ one year to the day after the last F-body rolled off the line.

Sad? Yes. Gonna die? No. TimeLord, you got us ALL kicked off the SLP board!! [Razz]

Wonder if they still plan on having the SLP day in NJ? Maybe I'll think twice about buying from SLP. Such a sad day.

There's no reason you can't keep buying your parts through SLP Performance Parts.

Before we jump to any conclusions and turn our backs on SLP, let's wait and see if Dave or someone who knows can tell us what went on. I believe that the entire board should at least be told the reason why, regardless of that reason, be it personal reasons (if it is, just say that and 'nuff said) or business-related. We all had a "home" there to talk about our cars. It will be missed, no doubt about it.

But luckily, we also have this board, so all is not lost. Imagine if we didn't have this one. I don't go to any other boards since they're a bit too chaotic to my liking. I'm here to stay, SSOA!

what happened? its not a very complicated issue folks.

the fcar died.

how many thunderbolts have you seen on the road? how many of the SLP AG cars have you seen... Regal, Impala, Adventure, etc.

this is a matter of survival, not an issue of "should they keep a board or not"

People, companies and relationships evolve over time. So much has changed, in the industry, and on the web, from the days when the SLP Message Board was about the only way someone could find out about the Firehawk, SS and Y2Y.

I will be forever grateful to SLP for what they added to the F-body community and will call the fine folks there, especially David and JeffY, my friends, for as long as they'll allow me.

The first SLP Engineering Customer Appreciation Event in Ann Arbor and Milan remains one of the finest memories I have. Frienships started that I treasure to this day.

Free from the responsibilities of moderating, I hope the David and JeffY will have more time to drop in here [Smile]

Thanks SLP!!!

Well, not to squelch Chris' or Possum's opinions, because they make sense, but until someone from SLP says something it's all postulation and not fact. The F-car didn't sell is mainly why the F-car went away, among other reasons. GM told us that much.

I still think, as customers of the products, we're owed a little something rather than a locked door in the face. After all, it was the parts discussions that made me decide to buy more SLP parts which was $ they made directly related to that board being there.

I can come up with thousands of reasons too, that make sense, but since I'm not one of the in-the-know folks at SLP, my reasons may or may not hold water. It's ok if they don't give a reason, but it would be the decent thing to do, wouldn't you think? Imagine if you went to work and the doors were closed and they kept quiet. Wouldn't you at least think they could tell you WHY? Maybe in due time we'll know for sure.

I'd like to post my thanks to SLP also. They really lit a fire under me and made me thirsty for all the information I could cram into my head about my SS!!!! [Big Grin] Our first SLP CAD in Vegas last October was the BEST and I still get excited thinking about that day! The SLP message board will be greatly missed and the friends that were made, I hope, find there way here!!

Thanks again SLP for adding to the excitement of my SS...Big Daddy!! [Wink] [Big Grin]

Well said. We owe a great deal to SLP for the SS, the Hawk, reviving the love of cars, the freindships that were made, and the ones that remain.

I got a heads up about this a few minutes before it happened.

All I can say is Dave didnt want to do the tearful goodbye thing.

As many of you know, Dave put an awful lot of time into the SLP boards over the years. It couldnt have been easy for him either.
 
Posted by DanA_F99_1977 (Member # 118) on 20 August, 2003 06:49 PM:
 
I can only say that I am forever in debt to SLP and the message board. I have friends that I would never have and memories that would have never happened.

I am proud to have been part of it.

I wish Dave, Jeff and all of SLP nothing but the best. I hope that they find something that works for them.

They owe me nothing! In fact it is the other way around!

If there is ever ANYTHING I can do to help them, I will be first in line.

There's no reason you can't keep buying your parts through SLP Performance Parts.
Call me crazy....SLP didn't HAVE to maintain a message board all these years...but the fact that they DID meant (in my mind at least) that they were giving something back to their customers. That fact always made me think of SLP first when it came time to look at upgrade parts....I could have purchased an airlid or an exhaust from a bunch of different outfits...but sent my $$$ to SLP 'cause somehow I felt "connected" to them through the message board. I guess what I was saying was that being "disconnected" levels the playing field.

Well, sure, it was great that they did what they did for the customers, and I have no gripes whatsoever about SLP and their products. Quality stuff, that's why I bought SLP rather than "the other guy's". Like I said, they don't have to give a reason, but it'd be a lot less mysterious if they did.

I didn't mean to come off sounding as harsh as my statements must've seemed earlier. I'm still stunned and in disbelief about the SLP shakeup. This is part of the "grieving" process, I suppose. Trying to understand the whys after the initial shock. I mean, we had a year's warning about the death of the F-body, and when the day came, it was still difficult to grasp that they were finally gone.

I'll continue to buy from SLP, they've earned their reputation and I support it. Thanks Dave, JeffY and all the Mods that made our little piece of SLP history happen.
 
Posted by 67&02 (Member # 1570) on 20 August, 2003 07:46 PM:
 
Wow! That was a suprise, it's kinda like being layed off, but we don't get to go back to the office, collect our things and say our goodbyes. I'm sure there were good reasons.

I just want to say thank you to SLP, Dave, Jeff and everyone else that was involved and posted. I learned alot from the board about the new-fangled technology and got alot of answers to questions. Thanks for the SS mods to the car, extra mod parts and appreciation days. [Smile]

The SLP board will be sorely missed along with the wealth of information that was available from the searches and answers from people who were always there and ready to help. [Frown]

Hey gang... For those I haven't met before, I'm Dave...another SLP Refugee

dang...this is like a funeral here, ain't it? I'm not knocking it...I feel like a part of me died, too. I visited that board at least once a day since I joined in spring of 2001. Sorry to hear of SLP's $$$ troubles too...I hope they can come out of it. Would be a real loss to lose them. The sudden end just seems odd...right after Dave spends half his weekend trying to get it back up for us after the blackout, they pull the plug on it less than 48 hours later.

All of this happening while I'm excited to be receiving my latest SLP part...a Loudmouth exhaust system...just yesterday.

I found out this evening...had just gotten home after being all excited at seeing a new Firehawk in my neighborhood (don;t see a whole lot around here) A guy that transports cars, had a white 98+ on a flatbed about 6 houses down from mine...first white one I'd ever seen...signed on SLP to share and found the death announcement.

<sigh>

Don't start! That is the whole point. Just leave all that there. It is different here and we want it to stay that way. The MODS from there are people I know and they are very good people too. Just keep that stuff away. Be friendly and enjoy the comraderie. Positive energy only here. Leave the negativity somewhere else.

Amen to that. I was thinking something similar. Of course, if the plug was pulled due to ISP costs it wouldn't be around to check anyway.

Times change...as did SLP's focus on things, they will soon be selling Mustang parts, not to mention the GP's, Monte's, & even truck parts. Ever notice that the Camaro was in the "past cars" section?

I like to think that as one door closes, another opens. I will miss the board, and the time shared with friends, but new doors are opening...

I just choked on my morning coffee... RIP SLP Board [Frown]

Well now, I go away for a couple of days and
WOW [Eek!] J.R. you must feel like you've given
birth to quints! Lots of new activity on the
board.

I have mixed feelings about the SLP board. I
believe it was the first board of any type that
a lot of us used. I know it was for me! I met
people that I never would have known save and
except for that board. We have truly become the
F car family and the family was born and nurtured
by SLP. But times change.

I wish all the staff at SLP, Dave, Jeff, Reg, Ed,
Mark, et al all the best. They have lots of talent there and I am sure they will emerge again.

Let's hope they'll be involved with the next
generation Camaro and once again we'll be able
to enjoy the fruits of their labour.

Thanks for everything Dave - the board really
was a great help to all. Hopefully we can
maintain what we've developed here, only with
more friends. [Big Grin]

Well that's good news! I was wondering about all the rooms reserved. In addition to the reg. question above, I'd like to know if anyone will be selling Zaino products there. (maybe Sal could have a booth set up!) [Smile]

ENJOY!

I couldant say it better I lurked tword the end at SLP because it came to the point where you needed to be on the forum every several hours to see what was going on .Like Dan said its different here you can check out the posts in the morning and not see them till the evening and still know what was going on through the day.It is a slow great place on the porch here hopefully it will stay that way [Smile] ........

........Just my $0.02

Dave did say #4 was an SS owner [Wink]

Q: Who were the moderators of the board?

A: I won't give up their identities. All I will say is that Mods 1,2 and 3 were Firehawk owners and Mod 4 was an SS owner. They had a thankless job and for helping me out, I thank them.
