I have to tell you guys, today is a great day for me and I hope that you consider it a great day too when you hear the news.
A few months ago I sold my interest in this forum that I founded to PBMA. One of the things that was promised to me is that it would have all of the technology, creative and financial support that PBMA has to offer and would be supported with staff to maintain the site and build a solid foundation for growth.
Well, something else happened that I never expected but wow am I thrilled! Due to the success and quick growth of Autopia-CarCare.com, John has been promoted to manage the store, devoting more of his time to adding new products, customer service and order fulfillment. Congrats John!
This, along with my previous forum experience, has opened the door for me to take over the role as head guy here at AutopiaForums!

If you can imagine being able to sell your company but at the same time, given the authority to continue to run it, that is the opportunity that PBMA has given to me! I just want to let you know, this will be the first time ever that I actually get $$$ to be here. This forum is my baby and for many years it was a labor of love but now I am living the dream that started back in 2002.
Even when I stepped down, I was never far away. I value your feedback and I want you guys to be happy here. Please know that this forum today is what I always wanted and many of you are my friends.
This is an open forum. You can talk about any car care products that you want to talk about. Don't worry about whether it's a product carried by PBMA. No product censoring here. This is the people's forum. Talk about anything you like.
Lets work together to make it grow and let's have fun here! I believe that we have an excellent foundation for long term growth and that isn't just in numbers of members but also in resources available to forum members as well!
Write to me and let me know your thoughts. I encourage your replies to this thread and your PMs. I'm your forum concierge.
Did I mention how happy I am to be here?
