Hello Charger fans. I really liked the 1969 Dodge Charger Registry. Does anybody know what happened to it? The registry was a wealth of information and is sorely missed. Any information on what happened and what the future holds for the registry would be appreciated.

Ghoste acquired it and it's in the works.  

Welcome to the forum :cheers:

And as an update, I apologize for the delays and beg everyone's patience.  This has been a year of many personal upheavals for me but ultimately they are going to leave me with more time to devote to this and they should all be wrapped up up soon.

Thanks for the updates! Take care Ghoste - hope everything works out. We all appreciate the fact you have taken this project from Chris who did an outstanding job with the 69 Charger Registry. I really look forward to the new version going live in the very near future.

Hi,

Not to be a pest, but any update on when the '69 Registry will be live again?  I miss it!  :cheers:

I've been starting to get on it just now as a matter of fact.  It will still be a couple of weeks yet and it isn't being a pest because I've been caught up in enough in some personal things lately that reminders are good.

Is it possible that each of the existing Charger registry admins could talk amongst yourselves and come up with one unified Charger registry?  Something with multiple admins maybe?

Including and excluding years seems odd.  And a registry with all years could pool better overall data.  Admins could share the workload and not make a registry dependent on a personality or availability of an individual.

Wayne Wooten`s already exists as an overall one but it doesn`t always seem to work well.

 Wayne's site hasn't been active since 2009.

Thanks Ghoste. Really looking forward to the 69 Charger registry coming back!!

I reckon this idea would be great, although not understanding all the logistics of what it would take to do this, it may be easier said than done.

A multi-year Registry really doesn't add any value since there are specific nuances to each year....it is never a comparison of apples to apples. It is hard enough just managing a single Registry (ask Chris 6T9....the effort is not minor). Putting that aside, and our privacy commitment to those who register, having multiple admins all mucking around with a single database is a recipe for disaster.

I'd focus on getting the 69 Charger Registry back in action....and it still defies logic that with so many 68 owners out there why no one has stepped up to create a 68 Charger Registry  :confused:

So true. so surprised how so many 68' owners sware the 68' was the  best year of the charger, with the 69 owners a close second that their year is the best but then go looks at us 70' owners on the registry & you can see the devotion and the fact that our 70' year is truely the best year.

I will say the 70 Registry is pretty good, and would make a great template for the 69 Registry.  But, I wouldn't say that makes one year better than any other year based solely on the Registries.

Besides, 69's are the best.  Get your facts straight :slap:

I love them all & have owned them all (68-70). I actually preferred the 69 most of my life but 70 had many of the better factory options. Now that I have owned several I lean more towards the 70'. My goal someday is to have all 3 years at once. Then life will be complete........

Yeah, right...   :rofl:

Hi Don (and others),

I don't want to make more work for you but I disagree to a point.  The creation of a 68 registry will be another new 'from scratch' endeavor by someone, in some other database format.  Unless the 69 or 70 registry is copied, stripped of info, and sent along to a new 68 admin to use as a template.  I don't know the history of how each of the databases started, this may have already happened for the existing ones.

But isn't sharing work and being able to take a break a good long-term goal?  And to release the one caretaker of the registry from the responsibility of letting it live beyond paying a domain fee, personal quirks, time commitments, or even mortality?  I've done this myself for a web-based community of about 400 active users, it was odd giving up control but also a huge relief.

If a multi-year registry with multiple admins goes live then count me in for a pledge of $100 to help out.

And there could be several benefits if someone with a little programming knowledge stepped up.  I'd love to have some interaction with a multi-year registry, without compromising anyone's personal info of course.  I'd like to see how many are registered by engine type, trans, color, interior, and various options.  How many are in my area - by state maybe, or county, or zip?  Be nice to look up a specific VIN and get a 'yes' or 'no' that it is in the registry, regardless of year.

As for apples, oranges, and pears - it would be nice to see a community of Chargers represented instead of a patchwork by year.   

All for your consideration...
