ChallengerTalk.com is the best challenger forum around - proof inside

[Venthos]

As many of you know, I run the unofficial challenger registry. Obviously it's meant for anyone and everyone to utilize and some people visiting it are not from ChallengerTalk. It gets linked to from various other forums and the like. I always check my web statistics logs to see who is linking to me and check it out.

Well, today I noticed a challenger forum linked me that I have never visited but more than once (because it was so ad laden even if you registered. No joke you have to scroll 1 1/2 screens just to get to content). I went to the thread I was linked on and it was one of their forum members who was basically sharing the find of my registry and about 4 "cool, I'll register" replies.

However, by the time I saw the thread the link to the site was blocked out and wordfiltered so that the link was busted and unreadable (read as: http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/index.php)

I was floored. A forum community felt that my registry was detrimental to their users? Sure enough, I looked at their rules and they have an explicit rule that says no one can link ANY site at all ('car registry' was explicitly itemized) unless they pay money. Even car clubs run by members have to follow strict guidelines to link back a huge banner on any page at all they want to link.

Wow...

So I helped them out and blocked their challenger forum and all of their sister site car forums in their entire network from the registry. The block explains the situation and in a not so subtle manner suggests they check out a different forum that doesn't feel a general car registry is a threat to their user base such as ChallengerTalk.com

The funniest thing is that I never posted any links -- it was one of their very own members sharing the find on their own accord. Crazy.

Of all the challenger forums I've visited while first looking into the Challenger, I have to say this continues to prove the most active, helpful, and all around best forum there is.

I agree that challengertalk.com is the best Challenger forum. I have been a member since September 2006 and have seen it constantly improve and evolve into the most authoritative source of Challenger information on the web.

A forum is only as good as its members and we have a great bunch of guys here.

Let's make it even better!

I first posted retouched 300s to look like Chargers before they were revealed at DodgeTalk.com back in the day.

The users there were appreciative.

When I first saw the Priddy spypics of the concept, Nobody really gave a hoot. So I became big contributer at allpar.com. There was a bit more enthusiasm about my image posts there. (I loathe the term "photochop" BTW) I got a lot of good info there until the production was released.

Then this site became THE place to be for me. I love the info I get here.

I also go to the registry often. It is awesome for cherry-picking info, especially relative percentages of makes, status etc. Hats off to you, Venthos. I DID make my own sig graphic; A. because I can, and #2, because there isn't any customization, which is understandable. I am getting an R/T, so I don't like the carbon fiber background.

I'm the first to admit my artistic talent is non-existent If you or anyone else wants to come up with some new forum signatures that would be pretty cool. I would love to have someone with artistic talent whip some up.

It would be really awesome to have some unique ones depending on Model Year (a special one for the '08 crowd) and the trim levels. Any and all information on the registry can be dynamically drawn onto a banner, so it'd be up to whoever wanted to create some banners to specify what data is listed on the banner.

I would love if someone would do that

I'm always open to suggestions and improvements for the site.

Heck, I've always thought Challengertalk.com was the best forumed site ! I thought Dodgechallenger.com is very good for the history of the Dodge Challenger,Allpar.com for total all-out/all around Mopar information and our Hemidakota Steve's blog : chryslercorporationllc.blogspot.com is great all-around-Chrysler and makes me/us feel like an insider / an electronic lil' bug device listening to the important ones making the decisions!
