So just a quick history about this site, the original site started off as a Wordpress site back in 2015 when I was driving my old Charger. It had a very archaic forum so traffic wasn't that great because of the awful forum layout. I was mainly using it to share Hellcat related news as a hobby. It wasn't until last year that I tried to revamp the forum by installing the current Xenforo software. However by that time the site wasn't ranking too well because of more established websites. Even though traffic was low, I kept it open because I enjoy chatting with the occasional member that registered and help out whenever I can since my dad is a mechanic. Fast forward to the last few days, there's been a big jump in traffic due to the dispute with the other community and the influx of new members. So I'm really glad to see this community being utilize as a means of bringing people together for a common interest. And just to be clear, I'm not a big corporation, just a one-man shop.

I just have to say what an awesome site you have here! The "other" site apparently changed over to the same software you did. And yet all I've seen from them in the last week of steady complaints/suggestions from established members and moderators is "hang tight...your input is important to us" and no action at all to placate the masses.

YOU on the other hand, have already made several SUBSTANTIAL changes within just a few HOURS of all these new nutjobs showing up and making suggestions (while already having a better site layout to begin with)! Please keep up the good work!

....and please don't sell out to Geico :eek:

@MaxCarnage is probably in shock that someone was listening and responded.:)

I was. Not only a response but a fast one. I realize as we gain many members and duties for staff/admin increase the response might not be as fast, but I do appreciate the response regardless of speed (Although you won't hurt my feelings responding asap, haha!).

Thanks, @BULL.

Okay, just saw something @HellcatFan. Just changed the mode, when I went to click the "@BULL" his avatar was visible, however his background and name were both white, so I could not see the letters. I checked again, seems like the first name up contains both letters and background in white.

I've noticed that white popping up in various locations too. It's just a beta so I'm sure it will get sorted. You can also toggle between dark mode and normal if you scroll to the bottom of the page and tap this:

True, but help them identify the little "glitches" we see, while in Beta.

Unfortunately, a lot of sites can't afford to pay the Google fee to be listed at the top of the search results. We went through that with a privately owned forum I'm a member of (we even bought the server to insure speed). It was a TON of money each month to be listed at the top of the search results.

I do like the format of this forum.

One thing this site needs now is moderation - there are random threads everywhere; and just wait for the spambots detect the increased activity level.
