The Need for Continued Investment in Our Platform/Hardware is More Apparent Than Ever Before

[L8APEX]

Jumped to a Premium Member as well.
With all the lines being drawn it was time I put my money where I can still run my mouth.
SVTP is a community, and even though few of us still have SVT's anymore, we still are rather tight knit group. That's what's so special about this site.

Premium membership purchased. SVTP has been my go to car forum for over 16 years. It's the least I can do.

Bought some swag. Can't let where gear heads get all the best information for all sorts of performance vehicles not just SVT like the site would suggest.

Been here too long to keep being a free loader, signed up for premium membership

I was wondering how current events would effect this place. Especially being 98% conservative members.

My premium membership is up next month. I will add some to the membership when I renew. I appreciate this place so much!!

I was reading along just fine, then some brunette popped up in an add and I got distracted. So I'll send some money via. Papal.

Sid has all sorts of hotties on the side bar flashing their wares at me. It's kinda a bonus I suppose.

Once upon a time people could disagree in politics and somehow remain friends/family. That doesn't seem to be the case so much anymore from the majority of people. It's a shame.

Despite not always agreeing with you jabronis, I am still a fan of the site, the crowd, and the content. I'll do what I can to support and keep this place going.

I’d like to get a few more shirts. I’ll also update my premium membership.

What is this about hats? I’d like to buy a few.

Where can I get them? @SID297

What upgrade is THAT? I'm in for an extra $20.

I know I've mentioned it before but I think it would be helpful if people had even a ballpark idea how much cash was needed for the mentioned upgrades or what the annual operating expenses looked like. I mean, everyone's a baller on SVTP, so Im sure some would come off their wallet to make sure the site stays running.

I agree, maybe even a counter in the corner to show where we’re at versus where we want to be or something along those lines, akin to a fundraiser I guess. I don’t even have a Ford anymore but I still enjoy the banter and the plethora of different manufacturers posted.

LONG LIVE SVTP!

With all the shit going on (also on AR15.com that was just dumped by godaddy it seems). Signed up for premium again. Also interested in hats. @SID297 are there anymore T-shirt designs? I have one from a year, or two ago I like. Just thought I would ask.

Gotta have SVTP in my life so I Just upgraded to a premium member Sid.

First, I'd like to thank everyone who has stepped up to show your support for SVTP recently. These certainly aren't normal times we're in, and you guys have gone above and beyond.

Are those hats in yet? Take my money!!!

Not yet. Still working on pricing and the final art work. I really need to get them posted on some sort of storefront like we used to have. That would make the process much simpler.

So it takes around $15,000 per year just to keep the lights on. That's before any major upgrades. We can probably get everything I have planned done for a bit over $5,000, but $7,500 would be a nice cushion. That would be enough hardware and major software upgrades to carry us for about 4-5 year.

If it comes down to SID flat out asking for donations instead of offering swag and premium memberships ill flat out donate.

We listed the options above. Doing any of them is super helpful.

Difference is we have a dedicated group of enthusiasts here and a headshed that's got a stake in the site. The number if people passionate about mazdaspeed cars is VASTLY outnumbered compared to Ford performance.

Honestly, the Coyote section here needs a HUGE spotlight. Even with the 2020+ GT500 and GT350, the real star is Coyote powered Mustangs and F150s. We've got legacy products down, but the people have moved to Boosted Coyotes and SVTP needs to capture that.

A loose partnership with VMP and Lethal Performance certainly helps too.

We had a large presence in the early Coyote community. We could have done more with S550. I plan on putting in a lot more effort to make a home for all the new Ford models on the horizon while still being the go-to place for all the modern classics.

This place is truly special for multiple reasons. Everyone here should throw in something if you enjoy being here.

Correct, it's not just one thing that makes SVTP special. It's a community like no other.

We have some plans in this round of upgrades that will help the site feel more welcoming to owners of all Fords.

You know those ads are based on your browsing history...

I like to keep SVTP open for everyone to share their opinions. We may not always agree, but we should at least be able to put forth our arguments in a civilized manner.

Hats are coming sometime in the future:

I may have to break out my Microsoft Paint skills and make something to add to the first post in this thread.

The SVTP App has some ads and we make a few pennies on that. We get nothing from tapatalk.

The only other shirts we have right now are certain sizes in the old classic design and that design with the new logo.

 

[boost88]

Ok I'll make the switch for sure. Just to help out when I can. Will probably look into some merch also
