Just think, what posts, or kinds of posts were hot at that moment in time?

Yeah. I think that is right, too. Here's the thing, land on the EM site main page right now and it looks really dated both in graphics and content. The banner features a 25 year old (approx) gasoline car (a Metro). Why not include an EV?
The description of what ecomodding is features only ICE platforms when it refers to "pumps" :

Welcome to EcoModder.com, an automotive community where performance is judged by fuel economy rather than power and speed. EcoModders employ a combination of vehicle mods, driving techniques, and common sense to squeeze every penny out of the pumps. Reasons for becoming a member range from the economical to the ecological. More info about where EcoModding came from.

Maybe this should use more PHEV and BEV language, too.
And the left column features only the top gasoline cars? Why not a EV listing too? (Do we even have enough EV-driving members for that?)
A lot of the knowledge on this forum pertains to a BEV as well as an ICE. But if you came to the site, you would not realize that.
Also, we draw interest from folks with work trucks of a few types. Why don't we build on that. Truck subforums. More representation of them on the main page. Improving a work truck's EPA fuel economy by 10% is still ecomodding, even if it still gets under 20 MPG US.
Just thinking outloud... but some of this has been on my mind for a long, long time...
