NEED HELP??? or HAVE A SUGGESTION...

This is the reason that the user Morton/DR MORTY gave:
Who is in charge ot TampaRacing.com?
I haven't been on TampaRacing in the last few years except a few times to see if anything has changed.
I was one of the head admins on TR that was eliminated. In fact, I was the head admin and ran the backside of the site. I know we had some turmoil between admins and other bs going on. And, I went graciously off and didn't do anything that would get me banned off. I never did anything negative towards TR or IB. I actually built the layout that we used the last year before IB and the first year of IB. I worked well with IB Rob, who was replaced by IB Tim when he took another job. I also built and worked on a few other car based forum sites. If you look around TR, I was a core member and hand my hand on every aspect of what TR was and why IB bought TR.
I was also one of the people that setup TR Events, I was one of TR's photographers & I ran 2 different car clubs that resided on TR ( Honda EF Old Skool Club & Acura DA Old Skool Club ). I was also a vendor that ran the CRX & Civic Parts Depot. I was pretty much all over the site and everyone one TR knew me and nobody had anything negative to say, as I treated everyone with respect and always sought to handle things peacefully and calmly.
Does IB have any interest in TR returning to the busy site that it originally purchased? Or, are they happy with the numbers that it is producing like a web-bot over-run forum?
I have always had a passion for cars & this site was pretty big in it's day.
I maintained a lot of friendships with users, Mods & Admins and we are all still online and very interested in the outcome of TR. Aahron & Zate, built TR originally, but with the help of many Mods and a few Admins that knew our way around site building and peace-keeping.
Would, you or IB be interested in TR building up a following again?
I only ask, because I am still interested in making TR work again. I am actually a very busy person, but I enjoyed the site tremendously and I think it is still a viable site.
I am willing to volunteer my time and bring back a lot of users. I bet I can beat TR's last years numbers by my 2nd month. And, it'll only grow again from there.
What would this take?
1. Me being returned to Full Admin with the ability to adjust the site to benefit the users, while not hurting the business of IB.
2. Me being able to bring back any users & TR staff that I feel would be beneficial to the site.
3. Unfortunately, we would have to figure out what to do with Bob (Senor Honda) as we had to back before IB took over. I was actually friends with Bob and invited him to many events and tried to help him fit in. For some reason, he seems to take on head to head any user that he disagrees with and it was never helpful to the site, the users or the traffic. He is good at adding content, but when the site was running at full speed, his numbers didn't really matter. He has over 56,000 post, but basically because he spamming TR over and over.
People still talk about TR and they miss the old ways. I think we could make it a good site again. It just needs the people that made it great able to make it great again.
Well, that is probably enough reading for you and enough typing for me.
Thanks for your time & let me know if I can be of any assistance.
Sincerely,
Morton
