CorvetteForum is an auto enthusiast website for owners and fans of the Chevrolet Corvette sports car. The site is dedicated to all model years of the Corvette and is widely considered the largest Corvette enthusiasts' club – online or offline – in the world.[1]

CorvetteForum was launched in 1999 by Troy Roberts and Ryan Adams, two Corvette enthusiasts who wanted to create an independent place where Corvette enthusiasts from around the world could easily congregate. The site is not directly affiliated with General Motors.[2]
The site grew quickly after launch, and membership grew to 110,000 registered members by 2006.[3] In July 2009, membership numbered 220,000 and the site's discussion forum contained more than 30 million posts, according to the site's discussion forum home page.
CorvetteForum was acquired by Internet Brands in 2007.[4][5]
As is reflected in its name, CorvetteForum consists primarily of an active discussion forum featuring discussions about all aspects of Corvettes. Topics include restoration tips, service and repair advice, aftermarket product discussions, and Corvette news.[6]
CorvetteForum discussions cover Corvettes of every year and model, ranging from the first Corvettes produced in 1953 to current models and speculation about future Corvette models. The site also includes a small online marketplace featuring items such as tires, manuals, and aftermarket parts available for purchase.
CorvetteForum members frequently meet in person for a variety of Corvette-related events. The group meets at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, for an annual meet-up event that raises money for the museum.[7][8]
The site is also involved in a variety of charitable endeavors. In 2007, CorvetteForum members contributed money to help a young student restore a 1980 Corvette in time for his eighteenth birthday.[9] CorvetteForum's designated philanthropy is St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Site members have donated more than $300,000 for the hospital since 2003 as of July 2009, according to the site's home page.
