new fiat forum

[fiatrocket76]

hi guys,

i dont know if anyone has noticed but there is a new fiat forum http://www.fiatforum.co.uk does anyone know much about it ?

 

[Stu DemonD]

Yep, we are aware of it!

Some guy has bought the phpBB software, and also all the car domain names.

Still, we are the first and we are the best

 

[fiatrocket76]

just wondered on what people thought about it but i guess its ok seeing that www.fiatforum.co.uk was regestered over a year before fiatforum.com was.

 

[Stu DemonD]

Er, well that depends - originally that site as .co.uk was performance alloys, iirc.

Who are you, btw? Admin from that site? Lol....

 

[fiatrocket76]

nope just a new user to the forum

 

[sammiboo]

it was registered but was selling alloys until recently, i am all for new forums but tbh i would rather stay here as it has a great format, and there are lots of users and cant see how it could benefit me more than here - looked at the coupe bit and no posts - i might post out of interest

How do you figure that out:

fiatforum.co.uk - 09-May-2002
fiatforum.com - 15-March-2002

The guy seems to have registered every possible car under the sun.... been dormant for 2 years or so, now just been made active.

Competition?

I don't reckon it will really take off, this site being well established now.

May have a niche though? Either for all those who want to be ultra serious, or out and out boyracers?

They spent loads of money on their domain names, and never did anythin with them... really anoying.

lol james what would you define us as - we aint all that serious or boy racers we must just be a fiat posse

 

[Dr_Pepper]

I guess they would get some Fiatforum.com trade - I know I typed it in wrong a few times before I registered and put it in my favorites.

Equally I guess they're not actually doing anything wrong and there's nothing anyone can do about it! Good luck to them taking on the ever increasing number of sites! What car names do you mean by the way like www.punto.co.uk? That goes to nothing...

 

[PhatAshKi]

Lol someone on there has bought a resistor for their seicento, obviously on ebay.

Shoulda come here

i think the guy has cut his own throught realy, when people asked where to by alloys online on here people would surgest his site but now thats not going to happen

 

[imola_fowkes]

[Stu DemonD]
