On November 1st, 2005, C3VR celebrated it's 4th Anniversary!

As founder, creator and administrator of C3VR, it is important to me that you all continue to enjoy C3VR and find it to be a useful tool in your arsenal for Corvette ownership.

I take a lot of pride in providing a site that is easy to use, fun and useful.  Many of the features of the website were created based on suggestions from members. 95% of the content of the site is found in the Forums, to which you also contribute. So, you are all responsible for making C3VR what it is today.

As you probably already know, over the past 4 years my life has become much more complicated than it was when I started C3VR.  I haven't been able to devote as much time to administration of the site as is needed (which increases as membership grows).  If it weren't for the help of the moderators and Norsky (Jim), the site would probably fall apart.  Jim, especially, has been an amazing help over of the years, and recently has taken on even more responsibility due to an even greater decrease in my time available for the site.  Others, such as dwright (Dave) have also stepped up to help out with things like Shark Bytes.  I can not possible thank everyone that has helped/is helping enough!

If you ever have any problems, questions or suggestions, please let us know through the "Contact Us" page.

My plans are for C3VR to be around forever, and I can only accomplish that goal with all of you continuing to help make C3VR The Best Resource on the Net for C3 Vettes.

I look forward to what the future holds for all C3VR members.

Thank you for your continued support.

C3VR...!!! Doesn't seem possible that yet another year has spun by so quickly.

Once again hats off to Adam  for having the vision and where-with-all to put The C3 Vette Registry (The Best Resource On The Net For C3 Vettes) on the internet map four years ago. Hopefully the coming year won't be as full of headaches () as in the past as he continues to bring to life a gathering place that has attracted "the cream of the crop" of C3 Vette lovers and owners.

WELL DONE CHIEF...!!!

I wholeheartedly agree with all the CONGRATS on C3VR's 4th anniversary!! This is an awesome place!! But ... as many have said, it's the PEOPLE who make it what it is - not the computers 'n stuff. The site is like an extended family - something I've only seen during my military career. Adam & Norsky ... keep up the good work. I'll help any way I can, as we all will.

Adam,
Congrats on surviving 4 years.
Like any business, the first year is the critical one. And you survived with flying colors.
Now we all need to help you expand and grow the business.
With your ideas and leadership, and your followers support, this site will continue for as long as people drive C3s.

I'd like to help with being a moderater but I'm not sure just what they do? I'm not sure I even spelled it correctly. But anyway if someone wants to explain it to me I'd welcome it. Thanks in advance.
