I don't think this site is dead; not by a long shot. The problem is that we have everything getting sorted out, but no new people joining or old members coming back. The site isn't dead, I think we just need a way to get the word out about it, and get new members in and old ones to return.

And continued updates.

The fact the updates never come is a problem. Also no members who left are going to come back because nothing has really changed since they left. So why would they come back. And the website is quite out dated so I doubt that helps to attact many new members.

I have no idea why my Cayman GT4 pics didn't get featured. They're the best pics I've posted yet. Kind of annoying considering literally everything else I post gets featured...

Yeah, even a white Flying Spur that I posted not too long ago got featured. Wasn't even that great of a shot...
Then again, my blue GT4 I posted a couple days ago was also not featured. That shot got nearly 300 likes on IG (high for me).

Just saying, we were promised a remake and I have seen no evidence of that recently.

If anyone knows how I can get in contact with an admin/developer. I'd love to chip in some capital/digital help to push this website to the next level and make it more aesthetic.

Gregg is the founder of ExoticSpotter, and eplusplus is the other admin on here. Doesn't look like Gregg has logged on here in about a month though. If you click on the 'Spotters' tab at the top of the page, you'll see both of their profiles. Click on one of their usernames, and then hit 'Contact Me' on the top left of the profile page to send a private message.

They generally answer their emails pretty fast but I'm pretty sure a good few people have volunteered in the past as well.

Figured I'd resurrect this forum thread again for you-know-whats and giggles.
In the past month, the top-rated photo has a mere 41 likes. Sad to see that cracking 50 or even 40 is now a huge achievement.
Also, a quick note: @gregg hasn't signed on since March 7th...
I know the last time he was here he mentioned his mother was having medical issues, so I hope nothing happened with her or even @gregg himself, but still...

Ideally, we need new admins to take Gregg's place then.

Well I just found out another reason why the spotting hobby is dying: because the car-spotter/photographer community is cancerous as sh*t.
Seriously, I was doing one of those live story things on Instagram with me walking around Miller Motorcars today and giving some narration about the cars, and then occasionally asking what people wanted to see next. Innocent enough right? No. I got spammed by a bunch of Massachusetts/Connecticut spotters telling me "UR MOM IS SO GAY LOL" and telling me that my voice was cringeworthy (which is a gigantic slap in the face for me as I have Aspergers Syndrome and my voice cannot be helped).
Another thing is how much these spotters suck up to the owners of the supercars. The worst I've seen so far is everybody congratulating @sparky1888 on his new Agera RS and Huayra BC and making separate posts with pictures of his cars like "CONGRATS SPARKY CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR CARS!!!" Like I'm not trashing Sparky at all, he has some pretty nice stuff and it's fun seeing the Sparky Squad at the shows, it's the photographers (or as I like to call "minions") that I have a problem with. There's nothing wrong with commenting on Sparky's page telling him "Awesome sick, can't wait to see them!" but going out of your way to make a completely separate post about it hoping to get recognized by him and glorifying this dude like he is the second coming of Jesus Christ? Like oh my god, please have some dignity. What other people see as "just appreciating the car" all I see is "NOTICE ME SEMPAI!!!!". People will probably say "lol ur a jealous hater" but I'm really not. Every time I see this kind of sh*t happening I want to vomit.

I really relate to this, I stopped posting on my car photography page on IG solely because of the cancerous/annoying spotters in CLT who think they're better, literally can't post anything with continuous nonconstructive criticism or spamming me because its "funny"
