You said it right there; Cruisewirral was broke, and needed fixing, it was dying and fast, and thats why Wikiwirral was born out of it. Wikiwirral incorporated AutoWirral as the car section of the forums from the start, it just took a bit longer for Mark to bring the brand into play because he wanted to make sure he got the changeover right by doing it gradually, and also that he could keep Cruisewirral very much alive and well, albeit as a part of AutoWirral.

Believe me, Mark did everything he could to keep Cruisewirral as the flagship brand, waited it out for over a year to see if it could improve before he bought the whole planned concept of Wikiwirral/Autowirral into play but Cruisewirral was unfortunatly, dying.

AutoWirral and Cruisewirral as part of it isnt broke imho, so there is no need to fix it.

Just my opinion of course. smile

I guess you miss understood.
I wouldn't let cruisewirral go the domain or the server?
I think what i was trying to say was if it was your domain
and your server then you can decide what and where, but i
cant remember the question lol.

Ive done what ive done to keep the members and there topics
and post alive, not deleted. It was essential to do something.

Cali there is almost 5 years of work gone into cruisewirral
i cant see me handning that over?

Branding
Either will do, its all about cars.
You will find that cruising is alive for about 4 months
and then will go quiet again, so if you like we are covering
all options instead of closing them down.

If your a younger member you probably reffer to us as cruiswirral.com,
where as i being older i reffer to the site as autowirral
probably because i drive a fiesta and not a EVO lol.

If you wish to get more involved cali drop me a pm wink

Mark.

cruise wirral, always has been and always should be, i hate it when things change their name's for no reason, such as coco pops becoming chocco crispies and such like.


Uncertainty or not knowing causes depression, Im happy because I know I'm going to die one day!

I refer to the whole site and all the forums as Wikiwirral. whether it be cars, photography, history or UE etc.

in my instance I lost interest in cruising but not modified cars, and I went away from the forum for a bit, then discovered that CW had evolved in WIKIWIRRAl, a multi-forum, multi-topic, multi-interest community and came back (To Marks Surprise) since then I have got a bit of an interest back in cruising, So imho the rebrand jumble around to WIKIWIRRAL\Autowirral has gave cruisewirral another lease of life.
