[flash]

still time to make the paso run - check out the thread in the local events section

now that i am back, i can focus some time on streamlining and improving things a bit - there is another software upgrade in the near future, and hopefully it will resolve some issues and add new features

i and the other owners always welcome the input, and we take it to heart when we make decisions about the site - just realize that we have to serve a LOT of people, and so we have to weigh one thing against the other and make those decisions based on the biggest benefit - some of them have not been what i would personally want either, but they serve the masses best, so that is the way we do it

that is exactly what makes this site better than the others though - we consider everyone, and don't cut anyone out because somebody doesn't agree with us - we may not end to their desire, but we don't cut them out

Saw the topic and thought interesting but never open this thread until now.

This forum is very unique. We are a small but pretty tight group. Varying ages but all "pretty mature" [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img] . Ok respectful. I have a good feel on the different personalities here and I all ways want to help, oppose to just lurking. There is a strong bond of trust and friendship here also. I have felt this very early on, once I became a member. The admin’s are open to phone calls and seem to value our input on changes to the site. I'm an active member on about 4 other forums and have been on countless others for tid bits about everything from watches to Home improvement. Weather big or small they're not as good as this one IMO. Again, this forum is unique.

Perhaps the log in feature is protecting that in someway.

I don't mind the login requirement, it is saved in my Firefox. I am on a couple of other forums/lists where I could tear my hair out over the junk that posted, I echo Rhude's comments right above, and really appreciate the "advanced" culture here.

(I do miss the Lo-Fi version being read-only without logging in, I used to read on my phone when I had a spare moment..)

Quality over Quantity.

This tight group of 40 has served me better and faster then forums of 400. We dont really need an influx of users to be successful as a forum. We need experience and expertise. Wait, then where so I fit in?

Me too! With all the expertise here? You reminded me of one very important characteristic about this forum. It is a very safe place; without hesitation we can ask dumb questions [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif[/img] , post my little contributions if it might help the next guy [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif[/img] , attempt some humor that usually bombs [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif[/img] , or meet people at the events without wondering if I qualify [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif[/img] .

This is exactly why i love this forum and the greatest thing about it. There is no other forum like it....and all the people here are awesome. I'm really glad 968forums.com exists, and am very proud to be a part of it. I joined to be a lurker at first and did not post much, but i have found much more then i expected and have made friends with people who live thousands of miles away.

While sights like rennlist & pelicanparts may be a good source for info or classified parts at times, they can only offer 5-10% of what this sight has given me. The people here are amazing and my biggest or only regret is not being an active member sooner, and not going to the last few 968 Parades @ Hershey.

See that? Where else can you go, type a sentence like that above, and not be corrected?
