Japan’s Economic Future in Doubt: A National Introspective TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2010 It’s not been a good year for Japan. China has recently overtaken the Land of the Rising Sun as the world’s second biggest economic power and a recall of over ten million vehicles by one of the nation’s biggest and most respectable companies, Toyota, kicked off a global PR debacle that some analysts predict will take years to recover from. Add to that Japan’s aging population, its growing national debt and heavy reliance on manufacturing, all of which are effectively killing what was once thought destined to be the world’s leading economic superpower. The departure of its fourth Pri…

Folks, I'm looking at running a cleanup on the forums. The plan is to delete any thread that has one post and zero replies and isn't a pinned thread. This will happen in most forums except the sales ticker threads or any other forum that jumps out at me as needing to be archived. This will reduce many/most people's post counts. I know some of you are more concerned than others with this. Objections? Comments? Concerns?

Mazda & Honda Suspend Orders For US William Maley - Editor/Reporter - CheersandGears.com March 28, 2011 Mazda and Honda are suspending orders for vehicles built in Japan due to the earthquake and inventory problems. Mazda said it's shutting down it's plants in Hiroshima and Hofu. The plants which build the Mazda2, Mazda3, Mazda5, MX-5 / Miata, RX-8, CX7 and CX9 were running last week for three days using parts in its inventory. However, Mazda will be idling plants starting this week due to part shortages. Mazda's U.S.spokesman Jay Amestoy said the decision to idle plants will only effect shipments of vehicles for May 2011. Amestoy also said it was un…

As you know, last night the server experienced some major issues again. Well today, I approached a person recommended to me by other people who run this same software. On the forum for IP.Board admins that I frequent, Gary is often mentioned as a savior. Well, today he did just that for us. The problem last night wasn't that Cheers and Gears doesn't have enough server. No, in fact, the server we have is way more powerful than we really need. By my calculations, we could be 5 to 6 times our current size and traffic levels.... if the server is configured properly. Essentially, we have a Z-06 engine under the hood here. And there in was our problem. I am an I.T. guy... bu…

Volkswagen Wants Alfa Romeo In The Family, Fiat Says NO! William Maley - Editor/Reporter - CheersandGears.com March 15, 2011 Volkswagen has been making passes at Alfa Romeo, trying to get the Italian automaker to leave it's parent company Fiat and join the Volkswagen family. Earlier this month, VW Chairman Ferdinand Piech said if Alfa Romeo was under the Volkswagen umbrella of brands, they could see sales of 400,000 vehicles within five years. This week, a rumor has come around saying Porsche could provide assistance to Alfa if they moved to the Volkswagen family. Part of the assistance could be a new flat-four engine Porsche is working on. The engine …

Moderators need to curb their right to alter or delete posts. Within the last few months, Ninety Eight Regency posted one of his photo parades. I commented on the setting in one photo and said it "looked very Houston TX" (which is where he happens to be from...a metropolis of 4 or so million people). Ninety Eight provided us with some humor in the grandstanding exit/re-entry also exhibited by a few others on here so I get a kick out of such "self-importance." Many people comment on surroundings or backgrounds in people's posted photos. Being that I design buildings, this is reflexive to me. Yet the post was gone. One doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to figure ou…

I notice you've sub-divided the "Other Guys" forum. I liked it better the other way since you could see all the news in one bite, without having to enter each subforum. Not only that, but the purpose of the subdivision really makes no sense. One can ascertain the company the post deals with by the thread title. I haven't been here long (and since in the migration, my account was eliminated, I appear to be even newer) but thought you might like a little feedback on the change. Tony

OK I started noticing that I was getting ads on every page, so I knew it was time to renew my "premium subscriber" status here at C&G. I inquired about it but didn't hear anything. Then I got an email showing an automatic payment being taken out of my credit card, supposedly renewing my account. But I've still got ads everywhere, and it still says "members" at my avatar, not "premium subscriber" or whatever it should say. Posting this here to try to find out what is happening. Thanks. I've lost my privileges and they have not been restored after the automatic payment. Anyone else in the same boat?

AW Press drew a laugh with a recommendation he offered for anyone depressed about the current state of affairs in the industry. "Do me a favor and visit the maternity ward of any hospital," he said. "Every one of those little blue and pink baskets represents 14 or 15 purchase cycles." - Toyota is benefiting from what he termed a tailwind. But Press pointed out that the industry is cyclical, and Toyota's fortunes could decline, too. "We have no interest in GM declining. We have no interest in becoming number one," he said. "GM is a global icon. They support the economy, and they represent the strength of the industry. There is no joy in the difficulties they're having…

IMO, this is a dumb policy. there are tons of 3-letter words to search for. I just tried to search for "Ion" (as in the saturn ion, but I don't care to search for "saturn ion", because posts may not have included the word "saturn" in them). Other terms I can think of off the top of my head include Geo, LS1, LS2, GMC... *edit* well frack, it's not just a limit on the length of the search, it's a limit on any individual term in the search. So I can't even search for "Saturn Ion" because "Ion" is less than 4 letters. Seriously? Wow...

I don't know if you consider other GM fan websites as competition, but I wanted to alert you to "Help Fix GM." To go directly to the website, click here. At this time, there's not a lot of content, but mostly a request for ideas to, as the name says, help fix GM. Would you ever consider a merger between C&G, GMI, and Help Fix GM? (Hey, if nowadays people suggest that GM merge with anyone and everyone... ) Just think of how you could reduce the cost of bandwidth with united buying power. Just think of how you could triple the number of complainers. Or silly posts like this one.

Well, it seems that I was deleted from the forums. When I came to log in just a few minutes ago, it said the forums "couldn't find anyone with my log-in details." So I tried logging in once more, and still the same screen. So then I was like, well, I bet if I re-register my screen name, password, and e-mail, I'll get another error message saying all of those details have already been taken. So I did just that, re-registered all of my information. Then I get a screen saying that my validation e-mail has been sent. All of this happening after I just got over 5,000 posts.

Ever since C&G had its oil changed et al., I've noticed something about the post icons next to thread titles. The icons don't show which threads I've posted in anymore like they did before the maintenance (the folders are just solid, with no "arrow" in them). Will this be remedied, or will I just have to remember which threads I'm subscribed to?

It took a long, LONG time but I can finally appreciate Invision Power Board. This place is looking very nice and runs really well. It's very clean and easy to use. I haven't tried mobile yet but I imagine it's also looking very good. I've used this software as an admin in the past and had a lot of trouble feeling comfortable with it. Now it appears to be one of the better options available. I may even give it another try myself... In any event, IPB kept me away from here before recently. I very much disliked using the older versions. Now I find myself dropping in more and more...

There is a major update to CheersandGears.com coming. I invite you to go play in the sandbox at the development site. While the look of the new software appears to be a minor upgrade of what we use today, it has actually been completely re-written under the hood. Currently, only the software default look and feel is available, but we will eventually be adding our own look and feel. Before going into production on the main site, we will be testing out new looks at the R&D site. You should consider any posts/uploads/blogs/articles on the R&D site to be temporary. They could disappear during a future site refresh. I need your help testing. Please repo…

Japan's fourth-biggest carmaker said it would not renew contracts with the 1100 workers when those employment agreements expired at the end of next March. “We are adjusting production in order to reduce inventory stockpiles in view of the recent economic and market conditions,” a company statement said.

Roseville, MI - When we re-launched the new C&G we knew we were looking to change a few things. The first being the new forums of course and the layout of the homepage of the web-site. We also wish to make a tremendous effort towards courting new affiliates and attracting sponsorship to C&G, something that has been missing since it's inception. While we will stay away from pop-ups we cannot deny the fact that we are actively searching for advertisers to advertise their product on C&G to reach a worldwide audience. One quick glance at our most recent statistics shows that people from countries such as China, Japan, Australia, Argentina, and Korea visited th…

Just a couple suggestions. One would be to place the PM box in the upper right corner like it used to be. Everytime I get a PM, I get forced to go to the User CP page to read the full PM where before I could click the PM and it would just link me straight to the new message I received (inside the User CP). Also, I noticed on cobaltss.net that they have a very useful drop-down menu in the top left corner of all the forum pages where you can skip right to the forum you want to go to. It's really nice to use sometimes instead of going to the forum home page, then searching for the right forum. Damn it, I'm getting lazy.

As a reader for a while now, I thought I'd post to say that the site is almost unnavigatable. Problem one is that everything spawns a new tab. I'd really be nice if everything kept to the same tab like the old forum did. It's nearly impossible to browse anymore, since I have to pick a forum (new tab), pick a subforum (new tab), then I can read threads in the same tab. To go to the next bit of reading, it's close, close, new tab, new tab. It's getting to point where it's almost impossible to see the great content on the site. That kind of leads me to problem two, though I suspect if problem one were solved, problem two would vanish. When I co…

Several other websites have a link to be able to allow a user to go back to previous posts, instead of having to search thru topic titles.. In some cases you may not even remember the topic title, but would like to go back to it, and see what responses may have been added. Another fast connection link needed is current topics, instead of, again, having to search thru the whole format.

Yet another old vid I found on that famous Youtube. The British did a head-on collision test using the remote controlled BMW and the Volvo while they are speeding. I sure hope these kind of accidents don't happen, it's well.... SCARY!!!!. I know, this is old, so you may have seen it already, but I just posted it here anyway since I don't see anyone else posted it before. If anyone did before, let me know, then I will delete this thread.

I'm pleased to announce that C&G's own GM Economy and Efficiency Guide has been updated to reflect the latest federal information for the 2007 model year. While the vast majority of models are included, a few (such as the Acadia and OUTLOOK) are pending at this time. We will add the data as soon as it becomes available. New to the guide are Marque Averages, which tells how economical and efficient the division is as a whole. The number is derived from simply adding the city, highway, average, and emissions figures and dividing those respective totals by the number of vehicle engine choices. Enjoy, as we hope this - along with our updated GM Vehicle Safety Guide - wi…

Am I the only that experiences problems? It seems every once in a while the C&G server becomes extremely slow and eventually a DNS error page thing pops up. It's been happening for a while now, but today has been terrible. I've been able to get about 20 minutes or so on the site since I first got on at 2:40. I notice everytime I get on, the member list is extremely low, like during the late night hours so I can't be the only having these... right? Regardless, it's extremely annoying and it's pissing me off. If it's my PC... something will be done. If it's C&G, I'll be a bit happier, but I hope it ends.

I thought I saw that "View Vehicles" thing under my stats in posts for a while, but it never worked, giving a SQL error. So we have a new feat coming to C&G?

July 7th, 2013 - State of the Site This will be less a "State of the Site" and more a "State of Drew". As you know, I haven't been around as much lately. Work has kept me on the road all year up until recently. From mid-February till late May I was battling constant colds and exhaustion to the point where my doctor told me that I had to knock off my work schedule or face more serious illness. From mid-May till the end of this week, I have been missing two of my staff at my day job who have been out for medical reasons (lucky them!). Since Mid-July, my work travel is done until end of August, so I finally have had the chance to catch up on things at home and recupera…

Does anyone think it would be a good idea to relocate the forum information section (which encompasses "Site News/Updates" and "Forum Feedback") to the top of the forums. I think it would make the member concerns and staff members' announcements more visible and people may pay more attention to them. Just a thought.

Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Extremely annoying.

I just found out that you can create your own customized PM boxes. Stock, we get Inbox, Sent PMs, and Saved (Unsent) PMs. However, you can add your own! I just added Saved (Received). Figured I'd share this new-found feature. I love it.

How come today, my Avitar pic will not show? Went to my settings, and it indicated one was there, which I had orginally downloaded from my pictures. Up until today it appeared on every post that I entered. Not today! Instead, all I got was a white square with the little red "X" up in the corner, but it would never open! What's up????????? <_< :angry:

[source: MotorAuthority] Mercedes Benz Targets 0.20Cd Drag Coefficient in Next Five Years Sometimes, making cars more efficient is best done through the application of more fundamental principles such as improved aerodynamics, rather than complex and expensive powertrain upgrades. Mercedes Benz is embracing that philosophy, with a plan to bring the respective drag coefficients of its cars below 0.20Cd within the next five years. The carmaker claims it already produces the world's most aerodynamic production car - the new 2010 E-Class Coupe, which scores a drag coefficient figure of 0.24Cd. The new coupe even manages to out-slip th…

WE'RE MOVING! Hey guys! The migration has begun! Hopefully, you won't notice much downtime. If you do, you should get a message at cheersandgears.com stating that we're moving. We plan for most (if not all) topics/posts to be safely moved to the new host. However, the last ones accessing the site might not be transferred over... so post now at your own risk :AH-HA_wink: See you guys soon!

Hi all... it's that time again. The current server was installed in 2016 and it's time we pack up and move to a newer build. Because I have some other web projects going on, the power of the new server is significantly increased over the last one, so I'm hoping to get some big performance boosts to the site. We're talking going from my Encore to a Hellcat in terms of power. That said, this software is still rather bloated, so there is still an upper limit to how fast it will go no matter how much processor I throw at it. It will be a fun experiment. Also... there is 96 gigs worth of data to transfer, so we'll be down a while. I'll probably kick off the tran…

I put a new thing up as the first tab called Social Stream. It gives the site a more Facebook like feel to it and it also lets you see status updates of other people on the site. The News tab has an updated look as well. Try them out and let me know what you think.

Wasn't me Actually, Dreamhost had experienced some DNS-related problems last night. They're continually patching and updating their servers, and, well, sometimes things just don't go as planned. The actual message from them follows: We had notified them of the problem with C&G at 10PM last night (once it was clear there was nothing on our end wrong), and they replied around 12AM saying it would be fixed the next time they made their DNS changes "official" (usually in 2-4 hour cycles). We apologize for the inconvenience.

As some of you may have noticed, we've gone ahead and split the Asian Marques Forum into five seperate categories Toyota Motor Corporation will obviously contain all Toyota news, including Lexus, Scion, Daihatsu, Hino, etc. Honda Motor Company now has all Honda/Acura news. Nissan Motor Company rounds out the Japanese 'Big 3' with Nissan/Infiniti developments. Other Japanese Marques is home to Mitsubishi, Subaru, and anything else Japanese. Chinese Automakers covers all those cute lil' upstarts who make the funny cars we love to laugh at - Chery, BYD, Geely, etc. The main Asian Marques forum will now be used for the miscellaneous Asian manufacturers from the Phillipp…

Lately, there have been a lot of reposts with debuts, and it is understandable but I think it can be prevented. Reposted topics simply add clutter to the forum and make it hard to navigate at times (and confusion occurs when there are multipul topics because people don't know which they've already posted in). As a result, I, along with other Admins, are going to make an effort to pin topics that we want the discussions to be in. If you find another story about a vehicle that has debuted and you think it is significantly different from what has already posted, please simply post a link to that story, but do not post the whole story in the thread as that requires excess sc…
