Wow! what happened to Mustangworks?

[green lx]

i've been a member since 96 or 97 (lost that login long ago). had a 5.0 and couldn't wait to get mm&ff to read the mail and ask Bernie and then i found Mustangworks, i was in awe! new to the internet and computers and became hooked on mustangworks, then corral, then original member of stangnet. stangnet was funny, there was the owner and about 5 or 6 others and we used to chat on their chat program while the site was getting squared away.

now i come back and just happen to remember my old log in named after my old 92 dark emerald green lx and nobody is here. mr. 5.0 was everywhere here and now i see he hasn't visited in months.

hope this site picks up, because it started it all for this young guy with a bolt on car who learned how to rebuild motors, supercharge, turbocharge, nitrous, etc... all from the internet and it all started here.

guess the 5.0's are dying! where are the days when we pitied the poor modular guy?

oh well, i still have 3 5.0's in my stable, including a 10sec turbo car and 1 h/c/i 95 and a bone stock 94 5.0

Hi Green LX,

Nice to have you back!

The website as a whole still has a fairly decent amount of monthly traffic. The forums have suffered for some time, however. I have not had the ability for a long time to put too much into working with them or rebuilding post activity. My career and other things in life took my focus away from MW several years ago and the forums have floundered since.

I did do a drastic redesign on the site (as you can see) about a year ago, but I have not been able to put too much more into it since. We're really lacking a dedicated moderator crew to be highly involved with the forums and get activity going again. I say a couple times a year I'm going to get back to MW and revitalize things, but then it gets lost in all the other demands I have on me these days...


Any ways, yeah Unit... what's your a$$ doing here?

[Unit 5302]

I still pass by the forums once or twice a month or something. It all depends on what else I'm taking care of online.

Every once in a while I'm even able to answer a tech question or two, but my knowledge about the current aftermarket is pretty limited.

It's been a decade since I signed up here, and over 5 years since I've even owned a Mustang, haha. I guess the knowledge begins to slip away a little

Things change over time. I'm in the same boat. My priorities have changed. I still own my '88 but haven't done any work on it for a long time. This must be my first post in years.

I remember Stangnet in it's infancy. Here's another blast from the past - anyone else remember the MuscleStang BB?

Corral
Mustangnet
Mustangworks
Stangnet

Those were really the only sites I remember/spent time on.

I also remember MuscleStang! Man that was back in the day. Like everyone else, I got married, bought a house, had a kid. I had around 10 close friends with mustangs & I'm the only one left that still has their original car. Been driving it lately so I've been hittin up the sites I use to visit.

[DeltaMustang65]

Yeah, this board has been dead for some time. Which is sad, because I've been doing some big projects lately.

[moc]

I'am here .lol what movie was that from ? It's okay now .

[moc]

Green LX ,how you doing ,you tha man ,keep working on them stangs ,like you sapose too .glad to see ya .

[nastyn8]

Yeah wow! I haven't been on here in at least 4 years.

[btr]

Yea, this is the first time in a while I've checked back. Hang out mostly at Stangnet.

My hobbies have changed over the years

[USMC GT]

Well I have a 2002 GT. I was lookin for a good site to hang out at cause Im tryin to build my car up. I was in the other programs, and I couldnt find anybody to talk to. This site seemed the best. Its slow at times yes, but it works for me. I guess its where I claim to have started to. I have pretty much all bolt-ons on my car. Except headers. I have been told they dont do much for the money. Im currently deployed, and my wife has took my car to the shop a few times. I cant wait to get home and drive it. Anyway, PIECE!!!

[shelleysGT]

I haven't been on in a little over 4 years myself. It is very different but I'm looking forward to being on here again...

[bigred90gt]

I think it has been a few years since I've been here. I traded the 01 for a truck in 04. I sold the 90 about 4 weeks ago, and bought a Comp Orange 04 GT with 28k miles on it. It had been about 5 years since I had a driveable mustang. This one is stock, with the exception of some mufflers I had welded on (because stock exhaust notes are just boring to me). With working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, having a house to maintain, and a wife to keep happy, this one will pretty much stay stock for a while. Being that it is now my only vehicle and daily driver, I need to keep it as reliable as I can until I can get something else to drive.

The site has definitely changed since I was regularly posting on here (which has probably been 5+ years). It looks to have changed for the better, but admitteldy, I havent done any real digging around to see what has been added.

Another lurker and rare poster for 'back in the day'.
Interesting .. reading through the responses and how much they echo my own. I always enjoyed the knowledge base and information shared ... but that's what its all about right?

Been a while since I've been to this site. I can relate to many things you are saying. I'm glad I found this post. Learned a lot from this site hopefully it will return to how it was a long time ago.
