We went with 518carscene because it was easier to give to people than [http://fmcs.proboards98.com/index.cgi](http://fmcs.proboards98.com/index.cgi) which was are older than shift518 site, made mainly for the fulton-montgomery counties, but like i said we went with [518carscene.com](http://518carscene.com) because it was easier to say and easier for people to remember, also the forum lay out sucked and I wanted phpbb3. I already talked to Vlad about all this. If people want to sign up on our forum, awesome, if people from our forum sign up over here, awesome. ---

No harm no foul, I know how you guys are and there is no reason we can’t worked together on some things, after all the more community gets together the merrier. To the original poster, good luck with the shop. Do they have a website? Any cars done? What is the experience? ---

Well for 1 most of the guys here live within 10-30 mins from amsterdam, and most people live in the Albany/Schenectady county, so saying a “more local forum” really seems pointless considering this is pretty local and most of the people on here are very local? Im a one forum type of person, I find one forum that i like that serves the purpose i need and stick with it, jumbling between bored is a PITA… but i have no problems with another bored, as long as it helps the car scene around here grow thats the point all of us try to get accross to everyone! but yeah hopefully this new shop is legit ---

That’s what duesmandella meant by local. Edit: We were all just wondering why he wouldn’t inform us when he hangs out in the same exact spot as us every friday night. Thats it, lol. ---

The area code we are in has a 518, which would be easier for people to remember, its a car scene, i put them together and wallah, a fucking .com. I support the scene, but we don’t hall our asses out to Albany and hang out every weekend, nor do we do the same things, so our own board was what we wanted, especially when i already said that we had our own board but the domain name was terrible. Go hit your head against a oncoming amtrak ;D [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-shop-in-amsterdam-north-east-speed-shop-open/238218.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-shop-in-amsterdam-north-east-speed-shop-open/238218.md?page=3)
