Yeah...what they all wrote! It's hard to add to the outpouring of
sincere appreciation from the F500 community. Your list has been an
invaluable communication tool, not only technically and socially
informative, but often exciting and entertaining as well. I too prefer
it over the forums where you have to dig and have saved many threads
over the years that I often refer back to.
Eric, please accept my gratitude!

I've been a member of this list literally since day one (or maybe
day two). Your service provided the "glue" to bind us together,
broker car sales, publish race event logistics, host debates, and,
yes, even serve to publish a few eulogies.
How can you thank someone for not charging for such a service as this?
"Thank you" is all I have, Eric but, it is felt from the heart.
Good luck, sir.

Subject: [F500] End of an era - F500 mailing list
Now that the F500 community has pretty much comfortably settled in
it's new
home - the eformulacarnews.com forums, the old f500.org mailing
list is
nearly silent. Last moth 98% of the posts were just spam (which of
course
got filtered fro the list - I was the only one who had to wade
though them
all).
Also, as most of you know the f500.org site has been badly broken
for some
time now. It was attacked by hackers a few months ago and I've
never really
had the time to fix everything. On top of it all, the server that
hosts
f500.org is getting pretty old and really needs to be retired or
replaced.
So, with a bit of sadness I need to announce the end of the F500
mailing
list. The list will go silent sometime in the next couple weeks.
The website
will be rehosted on a shared server, but in a considerably trimmed
down
form. Since there has been very, very little contributed content
over the
years, and I no longer have the time to author content myself, it
makes
little sense to keep maintaining news, product reviews, etc.
Classifieds are
handled by the forums now, so they will be gone as well. I will get
the
photo gallery back online on the new server. The server transition
will take
few weeks.
I will retain the F500.org Mailing List Archives (and actually fix
them so
they are searchable again) on the new site.
I do want to thank all the people who have made the f500 mailing
list a fun
place to hang out. I've enjoyed hosting it and do feel a bit sad to
pull the
plug. But the end of and era also signals the beginning of a new
era, and I
know that Rob Howden and his team at eformulacarnews.com will do a
great job
continuing to support the F500 community.
