Zclub split with 300zx-club.com

[madmarco]

As many of you are aware our relationship with 300zx-club.com has been a very rocky one over the last year. Despite our efforts to support and fund this sister site for 300zx owners the domain owners behavior made it increasingly difficult to maintain membership and site functionality. As a former chairman of the 300zx-club I can assure you this was not due to lack of effort. The Zclub committee was forced to sever our support for the site after the latest debacle, with the site being down for a week without any response by the owner (the only person with access). Efforts were made to buy the domain to enable complete Zclub control but the owner refused. After making the decision to remove support we were approched by a group of current 300zx-club members who wanted to save the site by migrating the content to a new domain name zxclub.net. They believed by taking the current owner out of the equation they could attract previous members back to the forum and build it back up to the fun and active site it was during it's first year of creation. The Zclub committee agreed that this was in best interest of the Z community and allowed them to migrate the content we created and paid for, although we would not fund them or have any official links. We wish this group of dedicated 300zx owners all the best and look forward to seeing them at future Zclub events. This does not remove our goal to be "One club, all the cars" but until we acheive our goal to make Zclub a viable active forum for 300,350, and 370 owners active partnerships with all Z related clubs will ensure a busy social scene. Personally what pleases me the most is that the Zclub committee can get back to focusing on our top priority, the Zclub.
As one of our more active members says, it's "A new Z era", and as I say "lets have fun"!

Thanks for that Marco, I'd like to be the first on behalf of zxclub.net to say thank you for your support and giving us the chance to revive the 300 only club. It's only been live for a few days and already we've seen lots of previous members, who had left in the last year or so and many had thought would never return, return. The post count in the last few days has already exceeded that on 300zx-club.com in the last few months and the site is ticking along nicely.

We've already had a few donations from loyal zedders to help us keep it going and we are now looking forward to setting up a committee and becoming a real club.

On behalf of the club, thank you again to the zClub committee for all their support and we look forward to pulling off some killer joint meets and events with you in 2012.

Good luck - can only be positive.........and let the disenchanted and awkard people just fade away - no point fighting - life is too short !

Many thanks to the Zclub committee for allowing us access to the Database and all of the files, hopefully we will be able to revive the club and get it very busy again

There is always plenty of space for banners on the joint stands, hopefully this will lead to a big increase in numbers on the stands and at meets for 2012.

We're certainly hoping so!
