TheOldWrench.com - a new car forum

Someone on theoldwrench brought up an important question about publicity. CarTalk has been tolerant to permit publicity for a competing site. Perhaps CarTalk does not fear this new site as it might eventually fizzle without a constant stream of publicity as CarTalk can provide for its own site via its radio program and newspaper column.

What will theoldwrench have to do to match this so that it can stay alive for the long run?

How long will CarTalk permit publicity postings for a competing site?

Just a question or two with no apparent answers so far…

they seem to be deleting posts at random now

how odd

but there is no post from that date/time

I’m not sure that there is anything unusual going on. I never commented on the Old Wrench during that time period, even though I enjoy it as well as the Car Talk board.

The post on 12/29 was probably deleted by the moderator. My post have been deleted more than once when I mention another forum.

I appreciate all the big names that are members, but it is a standard prefab chat room, I like it here better.

I saw the post before it was deleted, and it was just a post linking to another auto forum.
