Monthly Newsletter for November 2008

| Note from Rob |
Are the United States of America elections over yet!?! :) Some intense emotions the past few months in the Politics & Religion forum, but I commend everyone for being mostly in control. Remember we are a forum for Ferrari Owners and Enthusiasts that mostly talk about Ferraris, never let the Off Topic stuff negatively impact the true purpose of our community. If you ever need a self imposed break from a particular sub-forum then please let me know.
After a month I think the organization of having a Ferrari Lifestyle and Other Cars section has been very successful. Ferrari Lifestyle contains some popular sub-forums for all of those other interests besides just Ferrari we seem to have in common. Other Cars covers all makes besides Ferrari with some specific sub-forums for the popular Lamborghini, Maserati, Other Italian, Porsche, American Muscle, and British. Check out the following statistics for number of active threads (not just posts) per day and also total posts in the archives...
General Discussion: 10 active threads per day, 76k posts in archives
LamborghiniChat.com: 20 active threads per day, 117k posts in archives
Maserati: 5 active threads per day, 18k posts in archives
Other Italian: 3 active threads per day, 12k posts in archives
American Muscle: 5 active threads per day, 20k posts in archives
British: 3 active threads per day, 14k posts in archives
Porsche: 7 active threads per day, 16k posts in archives
So as you can see we are Ferrari Owners and Enthusiasts, but we also share many other interests and have vast experiences in other makes as well.
