SHOCAGO.com is shutting down. EDIT (Saved) - Switching hosts.

[Shoman594]

It has been 11 years since the return of SHOCAGO.com. It was a great run but like all good things it has come to an end.

We have a great place on SHOForum which is more visible and has higher traffic.

The website will be shutting down Sunday September 16th.

Thanks.

EDIT>>>>> Saved switching hosts to Mikey's server. Thanks Mike! Maybe a short down time but it will be back.

Anticipating even more and livelier discussions here Will the SHOCAGO.COM content be archived or otherwise be added to SHOforum's content? I just visited the site for the first time and saw lots of interesting stuff there.

Huh...... wow.

Guess that rear windshield decal I had made will have to come down too....

Or perhaps it'll remain on as a tribute to the site having once existed.

Damn, that sucks major ass.

Mike,
Carefully remove it and apply it to my Blue SHO in Detroit, I wouldn't want it to go to waste! lol

2nd thought, maybe i'll just remove the actual web address located at the bottom.

Presuming that is, that the site does officially shut down.

This way I can leave the remainder behind :cry:

the club isn't going away, just the web site..

 

[Toolman]

I want a sticker!

 

[SinisterSHO]

Move to Chicago

 

[Shoman594]

Interesting.

This has re sparked some interest from people.

I am reconsidering.

Taking my 94 SHO to Road America on 9/19 for SCCA runoffs. See you there

I can try to inquire about a production run of those decals, and/or cost(s).

I have one "spare" one, which is about 3" shorter all the way around, but it is in black.

It was kind of a "pre-production" type of trial run.

I had them increase the sizing even further, and fix the hash mark in the middle of the "A" on SHOcago and thus ended up with the one I have on my car in white.

I always hung onto that black one, in the event it needed to be re-scanned, or re-used in w/e fashion for potential future orders.

Great to hear Ryan that you may be reconsidering the site's demise.

As I posted over there, if you need a hand or w/e, don't hesitate, I mean seriously???

For Christ's Sake, you and I live in the same town for crying out loud.....

That was my 1st thought when I read your other post. Probably what I do.

Ryan, what problem will be solved by shutting it down? Money? Time? Lack of interest? Lack of participation?

I heard rumors of a BBQ. Unfortunately I don't get off work until 5pm, will there still be SHOnanigans afoot?

Thanks for the offer I appreciate it!!!

Cost I used a hosting service. I know cheaper options existed i.e. self hosting etc but i dont have the time with a new house 2 kids and work.

Mikey has offered to host it for free from his site.

May be some downtime but it will be back.

If they happen to drive a T-Bird/Super Coupe with any coke inside, just show them the door... :wave:

Thanks Mike, for saving the year-round SHOcago convention!
