Is it Just me ? or do any one else notice that the
participation on this site has not been as much as it was ''say back a couple years?
I mean no disrespect to anyone , and maybe it is more that I miss some of the guys and gals that are not on here any more.. Again this has nothing to do with anyone on here that is new .. I don't want to name names from the years gone by as I might miss one ,, I just miss a bunch of the alumnus.

Re: Is it Just me ? or do any one else notice that the
Yes. I have noticed and mentioned so in " Where's Larry" thread that things just don't seem the same. As you stated no disrespect towards newer members. I can't put a finger on it and like I said it isn't any one person.
I guess like other things in the past when thought back on seem better than they do now.

Re: Is it Just me ? or do any one else notice that the
Why do you think we drug you back here Larry?
Id have to say its not the sites fault. Its the proliferation of Facebook, Instagram, and a bazillion other sites like them. Stuff is getting spread out and watered down.

I'm new here, and new to owning a truck, and I think this entire site is great. I joined a few Facebook pages for Squarebodies and GMCs, and they are no where NEAR the quality of this site! This site's organization, moderators, and level of knowledge make it a great resource and just plain fun reading! Thanks for being here! Michelle

There used to be a pretty large group of board members you could rely on to show up at the fall and spring swap meets out in Monroe, but Ive noticed that's even dwindled down.

Re: Is it Just me ? or do any one else notice that the
This was the first year in about 7? That we didn't win the club participation award at the all truck nationals. I know I wasn't on much in the last 2 years, and when I'm here it seems like I'm just answering drive shaft questions. There's only so many times the same questions can be asked. Id like to see the regional sections get some more attention and a more user friendly way to post pics or even just like a post so you don't have to make a post saying the same thing or say that post had the best answer. This page is a great resource for many but maybe its time to revamp and adapt to new trends.

It seams like the board ebs and flows throughout the years. Maybe the quick rise in the cost of these trucks have turned others away?

Yeah I can understand making some profit, but I've seen some people post stuff up for double it's value. And that's a turn away right there.

Re: Is it Just me ? or do any one else notice that the
I'm still here. It's just that I spend most of my time walking along th walls and not in the center of the room. I can think of one certain guy who I really miss having here. He had such a creative head and strong sense of humor to garnish it with.
Facebook has taken a toll here and I'd enjoy it more if I knew the people's names there. All I have to go by is board names

Re: Is it Just me ? or do any one else notice that the
The site keeps on evolving. I'll realize from time to time I haven't seen this one or that one post since can't remember when. I hang onto this site as my favorite place, one for the love of trucks and two, because I have friends here I don't want to lose contact with. The thing is, without e-mail address, home address, or telephone number all a person has to do is stop coming here, for whatever reason, and they are lost. For years I have been meaning to send out requests for "outside" contact information to assure we can stay in touch. My procrastination has caused me to lose a lot of people.
I know for a fact that many followed the trend and went to Instagram. How am I sure? I've been told that over and over. I don't understand why we have to leave the old behind just because something new came up? Never even checked Instagram out, but I don''t know how it can do anything that we can't do here. Facebook? No thanks. I've visited the 67-72 page afew times and never liked it one bit. Just a bunch of empty chitter chatter and a whole lot of rudeness I don't need. You see a question asked, a bunch of silly guessing by people who just needed to post, then the correct answer, then more silly guesses, then the same correct answer again, and over and over. It's bad enough here that some post without reading the other posts, but on FB it's ridiculous. We can proud of this site as being the best source of information, as well as best behavior, on the net. If there is an association between this site and that FB page, I am ashamed by it. I get all I need outside of the real world right here. I prefer face to face and this is as far with electronic communications as I care to go.

For example, I had a now Banned member pm me and proceed to tear me apart for modifying one of my trucks. I reported him and he was dealt with accordingly. And as far as i'm concerned this is the only site for anything technical related to our trucks. The wealth of knowledge that this site has amassed is unparalleled. And for the most part the members are awesome. That being said, I also use Instagram. It allows me to follow a bunch of the members who no longer post here for whatever reason. These are mostly the mild to extreme custom crowd. As far as the other trucks forums and Facebook, I don't have time for the drama and B.S. that seems to be a core part of them.
