CCF Members, As you may or may not know CCF (unlike some other places that shalt not be mentioned) is strictly a not-for-profit site. Our revenue streams are split between vendor sponsorships and donations from users in the form of account upgrades or one time donations. We treasure and always emphasize a good clean user experience and have elected not to place ads and adware on any page of this forum. We do not resell your information. There are multiple ways to help CCF grow outlined below. Donations: We have revamped our donation process to make it a little more transparent, clean and motivational. A new page called donations can now be accessed via the Navigation Menu (at the top) or directly using this link: DONATE Donations...

Hello CCF, We've rolled out Featured Ads to our Classifieds system as well as Service ads to vendors who wish to participate in the program. Your ads on our classifieds will automatically feature for all Supporting Vendors, Mega Donors, Mega Supporters and Forum Sponsors currently.

Hello CCF, Happy to announce that I've rolled out a totally redesigned custom classifieds system for us to replace the older more generic one that was giving us issues. As part of the rollout you will notice that we're pushing through a feedback system (your username will now show feedback received/given etc). Please take a moment to post something in our new classifieds section, give it a whirl. There are hundreds of more features that I'm going to gradually unleash on you but the basics should all be there and work. Feedback is always appreciated.

Dear CCF, Happy to announce that our heavily refreshed mobile app is now starting to roll out across mobile app stores. The app offers a much more streamlined experience for mobile users, push notifications, a dark theme and much more.... Some sample screens below. For Android users, app is fully rolled out, can be found at this link directly: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.clementlabs.mobile.android.ccf For Apple iOS users, click below: https://apple.co/3QWMrzg The app is currently priced at $9.99 across all stores. It's important to note that a fair bit of resource and money has gone into developing this so we hope you understand there's a need to cover some of our basic costs. All proceeds go back towards...
Effective immediately we are de-listing our current Mobile app from the Apple and Android stores. We are working on a spiffier version which is currently up for testing and distribution shortly. The current users of the app may continue using it however it will eventually stop working (within a week from now). To quench your app thirst our forums are 100% mobile friendly so don't be shy to browse on your cell phone in the wilderness.
Sportsbook Betting is here CCF is proud to find new ways to dispossess you of your VetteCoins so we are rolling out our very first beta version of a Sportsbook Betting Emporium. Every so often we will create events and outcomes (with moneyline odds) which you can wager your VetteCoins on for the chance to win big or the next outage to bring you to more tears. Currently ALL sportsbook events will be curated by staff however in the very near future we will be looking at bonafide bookies to help us make some of these events happen. We are also allowing you to create side bets with other members using the member bets functionality. Simply click on the member bets tab under the sportsbook event and create your own bet that's open to the...
CCF IS Back Hi CCF users! Firstly I wish to personally apologise for the longest outage ever. Our primary data center had what can best be described as a cataclysmic and mildly comical series of events involving a power surge, a power outage, a backup generator catching fire and fire suppressant dowsing hundreds of servers (including some of ours). Our original servers are still drying and in pieces. We are now operating from a different data center on different hardware from a backup that we thankfully did on Apr 3 (Sat night). We will not be able to recover your posts from Sunday. Things are NOT 100% yet but at least I can finally get a little bit of sleep tonight knowing the site is somewhat operational. If you see any weirdness...
Welcome to CCF Classifieds Dearest CCF Members, we are very proud to begin immediate rollout of our new and hopefully somewhat improved classifieds platform which will replace our current thread based one. This is a Beta rollout for the next couple of weeks so do report bugs in the Suggestions & Bugs forum. The new platform will allow us to consolidate Corvette car, parts, general and wanted listings into a single place. You will be able to filter by many attributes such distance, type, condition and more. We are already working on many improvements to the platform but for the time being it's good enough to rollout and get you acclimatized to it. Classifieds can be found at the menu above called Classifieds or via this direct link...
CCF is proud to announce that our very own Derek (@ddgermann ) has become our first Forum Member sponsor of none other than the C7 Z06 Forum. Derek has been donating very regularly over the years and has elected to opt into our Account Upgrades which entitles him to some additional forum perks in exchange for his regular monthly donations. His name appearing under the relevant forum banner on the main page being one of those perks. As a reminder account upgrades are yet another option to give back to CCF and get some forum perks in return. You don't need to upgrade to donate as we have regular donations as well as apparel sales over at corvette.clothing to help support the site. All of which are appreciated equally. For more details...
Folks, Time is nigh to get cracking on our apparel lineup. I'm kicking this off with a poll to gauge interest on what type of items members might be interested in purchasing. Please note designs, colours and sizes are not final so the attached images are for illustration purposes only. Purpose is to figure out what lines to focus on first. The poll has unlimited voting so you can vote for more than one item. If you have suggestions please post them in this thread. We will have a choice of logos too including our current logo, previous logo as well as some verses of pure unadulterated witticism. Voting does not obligate you to buy anything but please be honest. Pricing is TBD. The bigger ticket items like jackets will be $150+...
Happy to roll out a few new and super fancy features for our CCF members. First one is a brand new Live Stats dashboard that will be located on our homepage: This will offer a near real-time view of ALL activity on CCF, you don't need to refresh at all. All members, posts, likes, activity will be updated here in real time. By default it includes all forums except for Internet News but you can customize it by hitting the gear icon and selecting forums you don't want included. 2. Our What's New auto-refresh feature now includes the All Activity page and has been refactored a little. If you had disabled it previously you will need to do so again this one time. Hoping to launch number 1 today.
No it's not yet another new Olympic sport. :oops: We are adding the ability for members to tag a collection of people using the mentions @ shortcut. The new groups being rolled out will allow you to tag a group of vendors (or other special interest groups in future) rather than mentioning them individually. We will be rolling out groups for our dealer network, detailers, performance parts and accessories and any other group of people that we feel can be taggable. If you want to bring something to the attention of ALL Dealers on CCF you only need to add this to your post and they will all get a notification. It's just to make life a little easier for you all. Hey @Dealers
As most of you may not be aware in our vast array of features we have a Showcase section right here on CCF (under the Toolbox menu) where you can showcase your garage queens, drag racers, salt carvers and other utilitarian Corvettes. Basically show off your car or future car as the case may be. The section is open to everyone to post in. It generates a thread and allows you to upload a bunch of pics in a better more searchable format than a simple thread alone. Have a play over here: https://canadiancorvetteforums.com/showcase/ This section will also used for our Wiki and Resource pages.
We've rolled out a new enhanced Vehicle Purchase Request forum designed to make new and used Corvette (and GM car) shopping that little bit easier and get you closer to a deal a little bit quicker. Backed by our growing network of Dealer sponsors we're happy to announce our Request Forum. Found here: Vehicle Requests or find it by scrolling down to the newly minted Requests Category. Unlike a regular forum posting here will generate a special form that will email, private message and courier pigeon your detailed request to our entire network of Dealer Sponsors at the same time. They will do their utmost to source your New or Used Corvette (or even other GM) vehicle and get you the best deal on it. Conditions: Please submit ONLY one...
It has been noted (and subsequently investigated) that certain members are abusing the edit/delete own post privileges to intentionally disrupt and in some cases decimate entire threads. Almost every platform out there including the seedy ones (looking at you Facebook ;) ) have hard stops on edits meaning after a certain time you're not able to go back and edit your posts. CCF has probably the most generous Edit Own Post and Delete Own post restrictions out there largely because the vast majority of you are responsible enough not to abuse them. Not all though. Repeatedly putting false, repetitive and incendiary posts then editing/removing them after the fact is by and large a form of trolling which goes against our rules. It is a fine...
Thanks in large to financial support from our members as well as our sponsors we have acquired a fancier, quicker bare metal server hardware and after hardware validation will commence the process of migrating CCF over. Our HW is still located in Canada including our failover site. What does this mean? We will be able to support significantly higher traffic patterns. Mostly future planning. We will add native CCF video upload support so those of you sharing vids via youtube will in future be able to directly upload to CCF without the extra steps. More media storage space. Enhanced performance in general. It will take some time to move over our assets so I will splash you with plenty of notice if any downtime occurs. This is a heads up.
A very positive start to a snowy Sunday morning. I'm super pleased to announce our newest CCF Partner in Crime and Sponsor - Finch Chevrolet in London, Ontario (640 Wonderland Rd N, London, ON N6H 3E5) and the man that made it happen: @Morgan @ Finch C. Please give Morgan the warmest CCF welcome one can muster on this cold morning :) By all accounts he looks to be a very helpful chap and active poster already, and we hope he will enrich the CCF landscape with his experience and guidance. He is through and through a Corvette guy so he'll fit in here well enough. More info on the dealership he represents can be found below: https://www.seefinchfirst.com/finch/gm/ Thanks Finch for your support.
Folks, It's no secret that we've been experimenting with a completely overhauled mobile app for CCF. We're currently close to ready with beta builds and as such we will start releasing the app to the app stores and google play stores shortly. This will be a mostly gradual rollout, with the Beta tester groups getting early access to it. As such we will for a little while have 2 CCF mobile apps until the bugs and kinks are ironed out in V2 of the app. The new app will have a different look and feel, and will implement a lot more features normally found on the CCF Mobile Web browsing experience. Look for more announcements in the near future on this. Nik
