Thanks Dan. Many of us visit both sites. You can't judge a site by a handful of members. If that were the case, I wouldn't visit any of them.

I visit both sites. I prefer one over the other, but that's just personal preference. Most people at Fiatcenter.com are regulars here at Fiatspider.com too.

When Evan was having some problems with this website and his server a few years ago, Fiatcenter was created. Fiatspider.com went offline for quite some time. Many even offered help to Evan financially, with free advice, suggestions, etc., to get things up and running again.

When Fiatspider was gone, Fiatcenter was where hundreds of people went in addition to Mirifiori for advice and tips.

After Evan got things going again, the vast majority returned and are elated Fiatspider.com is back online. In fact, I've never seen anyone state the contrary though they may frequent Fiatcenter more often. Evan isn't making anything off of this and either are the folks at Fiatcenter. We should applaud both webmasters.

People will always comment on both sites and the pluses and minuses of each. As one site or the other experience problems, people (including myself) will comment on it. That can be a healthy dialogue.

I say we should just enjoy free access to advice from so many professionals and individuals in the know. If it wasn't for Mark A., John R., Curly, and a few folks who have passed away since Fiatspider and Fiatcenter began, my car would be nothing more than a lawn ornament.

Would you care to elaborate on your opinion, I for one take exception to it.

No need to take it personally. Here is the link to just one of several threads where members expressed dissatisfaction with this site;

Maybe I misinterpreted what I read, but my feeling is that many FC members want this forum to fail. I can only assume their animosity towards FS.com is due to Evans' misfortunes which resulted in the old site being shut down for a period of time.
