I know, right? I used to say any breaking news, I'd see it here first, anything you wanted to know on any topic, you could ask here & get good info quick. Sure miss that.

I absolutely Agree. I was heart broken when the great purge happened without even reviewing the threads. I lost many of my best pics that I had no copies of due to a virus corrupting them on my SD card. I was heart broken to see how that squashed the forum.

Our club forum also had to move to Facebook for the same reason. Then it was stolen & taken over by a _________(censoring myself). I am pretty much out of the club scene now


Ruby.....thank goodness us diehards will still be around.

Yeah, I check in regularly on certain threads & watching for anything new, & still keep up my build thread even though few are around to look. I still can get some good info but much slower.


(see 1st comment)

But they just don't care to post, or share or converse on the forum anymore. You can get to know the people a lot more if they continue to share their passion for the cars and the group as a whole.

Here Here!

Uh, some of us ARE old. I just retired last week. I was a mental health therapist for kids. I would often look at their dates of birth & think to myself: "My Camaro is older than you & I still think of it as new".

I am so happy that the guy who sold me my Camaro told me about this forum. I had a blast, met cool people from all over the country, learned a ton & got super support through some really rough times in my life. Sure miss those times though.

Not able to do much working out now due to back problems. Now that I am retired I hope to find a new way to keep in shape without aggravating my back or knee problems.


There are a lot of folks I miss conversing with. Glad some of you guys are still around!


RIP Bowtie Belle

Incorrect. The mods would constantly ban her (temporarily) for arguments and whatnot and eventually she moved to a different forum. She was more active there than here in the later years of c5.

I stand by my statement.

[AG1LE]

How many Camaro5 moderators still own 5th gens? Time to hand over the reigns guys.......

[krisprz2010camaross]

I have been feeling the same way. I think a lot of people moved to the camaro 6 forums. When I first joined in 2014 this site was always very active and it’s gotten less these past couple years. Maybe when the 5th gens become classics, traffic will come back to this forum.

I was personally close friends with her for years vs someone that only knew her on a forum... what do I know?

She is pushed the envelope on the rules many times. She never once left Camaro5 until she persued other ventures.

I’m sure mods can comment here and say that even after she stopped posting, she still regularly talked to forum members and the moderators.

"Hi y'all! I got booted from Camaro5 for reasons that I won't mention. I'm kinda glad, too, 'cause it gets old, tip-toeing around the nazi that runs that place.

Anyway! I'm Sarah, I'm twentysomething and I have an imperial blue RS. I live in Arkansas/Oklahoma (at the border and I bounce between the two).

Good to be here and I hope to make some new friends! "

Strong words for this place eh? Again, she was tired of camaro5 and moved on to other forums. It's as simple as that. I'm sure she did at various times login here to pm friends and post afterwards but the proof is their bud. She DID LEAVE at some point because she was tired of the attitude the mods and admins had at the time as I said in my first post.



p.s. Next time don't call me a liar. I'll wait for my apology.

[Lafourche1]

I am curious as I am a member of Camaro6. However, I am sure enough an old f@art and try to hang out here some each week. I am more active on Camaro6, but still like the folks here.

Ruby, you were parked next to me at the paddock, at NCM Raceway, at last years CamaroFest. I had the 2016 Camaro 2SS with the 6 speed. I hope to see you at NCM again this year.

[Moto-Mojo]

I must have missed the hey day by a couple of years. I still enjoy it for the most part. Hard to believe the 5th Gen is nine model years old and...the 6th is 4!

[Moto-Mojo]

Guess I’m living proof of the demise. I posted the above early this morning.

[chevy 3]

I read more than I post. I still come over and look around. Kinda slow.
This is and can be a great site to check out.
I think a few new moderators would be a refresh.

[chevy 3]

Here I am with my daughter and buddy at cfest 3
And I’m breaking the biggest rule of all rules.
Im touching Ruby’s bad ass car.
And caught in the act.
I do apologize


Seems like yesterday
Ok. A few yesterdays.

[cornerspeed92]

I agree Ruby. I remember you when i was a greenhorn around here. I was just thinking when i was signing in about how boring it is here now.

[Moto-Mojo]

I for one would have loved to have read posts that got someone axed. That’s entertainment!

[its a syn]

Iowa thread is so slow it hurts. Most went to facebook. Ruby, see ya in a month. We, more like my wife talked to ya at aoto-x about our daughter who is in the pysch field. Doing NCM again?
