helrazr70 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 I have not been on here in a while since so many of us are on Facebook and it's just easier to communicate there. The drawback is that you can't categorize or archive information on Facebook so everything just fades to the bottom and vanishes unless you do a deep dive search--and that's if you remember which page/group what you are searching for was in. At least here it's organized and searchable. It sucks that all the SQC data was lost since 2015 but it is what it is I suppose. Based on my 2000+ post count reduction, I'm guessing more was lost than just the last 8-9 years. I do miss the days when this site was the hotspot for all of us. Good times... Now, it looks like only a small group of oldheads frequents the site with a few random new folks. Anyway, I just dropped in to say "Hi". 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldStar Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 (edited) There's so many people in the Facebook groups, but this place is a wealth of information with write-ups that can actually be found here with relative ease. I've seen a couple guys try to do write-ups in the Facebook groups, but they immediately get lost in all the chatter, so people don't know they exist unless they know exactly what to search for. Want to do my part to keep this place alive, so once I gather the funds, I'm planning to document my restore here. The upshot to the 2015 crash is that these cars stopped being produced in the 80s lol. Edited February 1 by GoldStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Welcome back! I'm mostly just a lurker on FB...it's not really my cup of tea, for many reasons. Going to Carlisle this year? I'm contemplating it; import mainly but possibly Chrysler too. Also want to get out to the lehigh valley in the spring and possibly meet up with a few members.

TSITy Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I'd be more inclined to do detailed writeups if we could upload larger photos. Makes it a real pain when an external tool needs to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mech Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Facebook is horrible when it comes to write ups. And looking for cars to buy on the marketplace is really bad too. Who owns starquestclub these days? Is it ctill Chad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psu_Crash Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Hello! I wish more people would come back here too. Especially the new guys/gals. FB doesn't always give good advice and a lot of what people are asking is already documented here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiEVO3 Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Hi! I do an awful lot of lurking around here and the Facebook pages. Pretty sure I lost my original account in the last website crash, but that's okay. Most of my info searches are done here. It's easier to find what I'm looking for on the forums, assuming the pages still exist. SQC has a wealth of information 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uconn1150 Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 (edited) It's good to see Jimmy and am I looking to meet some more SQers as I have moved to CA. I've missed my SQ! I joined SQC almost 20 years ago! Time passes oh too quickly! Edited February 29 by uconn1150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being on the starion conquest facebook groups has helped tremendously for my projects. you could just get a different email address just for facebook, and have no personal information on it, and use it only for the starion groups.

I joined SQC almost 20 years ago! Time passes oh too quickly! I joined SQC back in i think it was 99 or 2000, when it was nothing like what you see today. I remember people complaining when it went to the new style boards, like what we have now lol. Then everyone got used to it. i forgot my login info for my original username after being out of the starion game for a few years, so instead of contacting jimmy, i just made anew profile in 2006. I think my original name was 83starpower from 2002 lol anyways, the days before facebook and social media, even youtube, man those were the days on SQC!

uconn1150 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 No, but I am going to bring it eventually! I had to give away my engine swapped Civic to my brother due to BAR rules although it would have passed emissions. I am assuming it's due to the F&F movies...😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
