Changes at GreenHybrid.com

Good Prius and hybrid friend, Jason Siegel posted this last week:

GreenHybrid - Hybrid Cars - View Single Post - An Important Message from the Founder of GreenHybrid

To answer a couple of questions:

• Jason's moderators (including me) are still on duty.
• GreenHybrid continues under Internet Brands.

I am not a spokesman for Internet Brands nor Jason but just one of a team of Jason trained moderators. We will continue to maintain the unique resource of GreenHybrid but the wider community needs to know that Jason is moving on. Please don't read anything into this beyond the ordinary "life goes on:"

If you still have an account with GreenHybrid, I know Jason continues to monitor the thread he started on Friday.

My apologies to the moderators and the community. I thought a posting about the creator of GreenHybrid.com would have merited something above:

"Anything unrelated to the Prius. ..." Fred's House of Pancakes

Shortly after I first got home with my Prius, I asked Google for a mileage database and it led me to GreenHybrid.com where I made my first entry:

Date: Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2005, 7:05 PM
MPG: 39.0
Distance: 251 miles
Fuel: 6.4 gallons
Temperature: 70F
Time: 240 minutes (62.75 MPG average, median ~75 mph)
​

I had flown to Texas the previous Friday and picked up my 2003 Prius. By 1:30 PM, I was driving back to Huntsville. Five days later, I entered my first mileage record.

At GreenHybrid I met Doug, Ken, Wayne, and others who helped me understand some of the Prius operating principles. Eventually, they pointed me to other forums like "Prius Technical Stuff," Wayne Brown and Graham Davies pages and even "PriusChat" where even more subtle aspects were under investigation. But always I knew GreenHybrid had the mileage database and was a welcome home because Jason and his moderators made it a safe place to post.

Jason's GreenHybrid was a place where anyone who wanted to discuss environmental Green or hybrid electric technology was welcome. The trollish egomaniacs and SPAMer sociopaths were kept at bay so we could focus on these goals. It was and is a safe and welcome place for anyone but SPAMers or hijackers, a remarkable accomplishment. But time marches on.

When I posted in News, it was in the hope that those who had benefited from Jason's work might go back and said "Thanks." Many have but soon enough time will pass. I would not have been me if I hadn't made the effort to remind folks of the debt owed Jason Siegel.
