Hey New Guys .... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CG · 12-27-2013, 11:17 PM

We seem to be getting a bunch of new blood round here and we love it!

BUT (there is always a but lol) some of you guys are used to other car and truck boards where the language, attitudes, pics, etc etc are like "Hey, we are men and we do and say whatever we want, and if you don't like it we are gonna give you an internet beat down"

Guess what? This is a family friendly board, and we like it that way. I like it when my grand daughters or grand son can come sit on my lap and say "What are you looking at grandpa?" and I can show em without fear of having to edit anything.

And for the new buyers and sellers. You can buy without being a subscribing member, but you cant post a WTB or a for sale add without. Its a rule for a reason.

You agree to these simple things when you sign on ... did you read the rules?

Just tone it down a little if you are used to things being done differently, I really think you will like the laid back, friendly, easy going attitudes around here ... and welcome aboard!

great message thank you

67ChevyRedneck · 12-28-2013, 12:41 AM

I've noticed an extra bit of animosity lately... thought I was on my mustang forum a few times...

YBNORML · 12-28-2013, 12:50 AM

Agreed. This is my favourite place to hang out. I belong to a bunch of other boards but this one is by far the best. It's members that make it this way.

Tinkermc · 12-28-2013, 09:14 AM

Well said

Hanging out with Ford guys is like sleeping with dogs - you're gonna get fleas!

dads longhorn · 12-28-2013, 11:00 AM

Well said, and thank you.

**truckster** · 12-28-2013, 11:09 AM

Thank you. I too like to have my sons look at the board with me.

You ain't kiddin'

My dogs don't have fleas though

I've seen threads go downhill on the second post and turn into a 5 page pissing match.

Man, I can relate to this ---Ive been looking for a Mustang for my grand daughter, signed onto a couple of the many Mustang forums---some of those guys are brutal. You dont dare ask a question.

I really like this forum--the way it Has been! Thanks to all who do the work to keep it that way.

I'm on one of those... DON'T EVER, AND I MEAN EVER put a chevy block in a firebird OR put a "Camaro" spoiler on a 67-68 'bird. Holy crap people go crazy over that! My bird has a poncho 400 and will not have a spoiler, but I don't care if other's do.

MashTheGas 72 · 12-28-2013, 11:24 AM

Awesome Site hear. Every since I joined I've been completely blown away with how everybody is so Generous with jumping right in and helping. Boy I live on this forum and it didn't take but one visit to feel like family. Thank you CG for your statements well said.

Molberg · 12-28-2013, 11:27 AM

I must have missed a thread or two... or they were edited. I can relate to animosity on other forums though. You can get cut up pretty quick...

I hear you I slipped out a hugger orange one time and it got me

67ChevyRedneck · 12-28-2013, 11:37 AM

If I didn't already have the motor and all the accessories (even have power steeering!) I would too. All that pontiac stuff adds up crazy fast.

jeh · 12-28-2013, 11:53 AM

I'm glad someone stepped in!!!! I've noticed in the past week a couple of "new" members that seem like they have an attitude and smarta** remarks, plus the language is uncalled for. This is a great site so lets keep it that way....
Thanks, Jason

Sillyoldman · 12-28-2013, 12:39 PM

Well said Mark. Ordinarily new folks settle in once they realize the nature of this forum and soon begin to follow others posting behaviors. Due to the popularity of this website our volunteer staff is out numbered in a huge way. The best way to curb questionable posts is to report them so they can be reviewed and handled accordingly.

gipper · 12-28-2013, 12:51 PM

I must have been fortunate enough not to see any "questionable" posts. I love this site and was fortunate enough to find a Senior member that lives close to me that has helped more than I could ever have imagined. Thanks so much Jim Kemp!

CG · 12-28-2013, 01:06 PM

Thanks guys for the support. I'm not down on any particular people, its something I noticed and its just nice to be able to post stuff that might be an odd question in some way or another and not get slammed by it.

There are lively debates here all the time without anyone getting nasty over it. Such as, should I cut my dash for a radio LOL.

Looking forward to another good year here on the board ... Hopefully we will actually work on the panel and Ill get some pictures posted. Gotta get that 62 Ford Unibody with the Chevy drive train and the Mopar suspension real reliable first. Now that would get some panties in a bunch on other forums .... LOL.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Sicklajoie · 12-28-2013, 01:09 PM

Great post.
This is a great board to hang out in. I've learned a lot from all of you here.

**Roland** · 12-28-2013, 01:42 PM

Thanks CG, well said.
Tryin to get started back on my project and I will have a lot of 'dumb' questions. This is a very helpful resource.

**Ol Blue K20** · 12-28-2013, 02:12 PM

Thanks CG, I guess I didn't see the posts but love it here because of the good attitudes

cwilkie · 12-28-2013, 02:22 PM

I agree well said. I feel like I have grown up on this board talking to all you guys. The sheer knowledge and resource to all the parts are limitless. Thank you all and I look forward to another 10+ years on this board.

In The Ten Ring · 12-28-2013, 02:28 PM

I wonder if the pic of the swimsuit calendars I put up last week is what he's talking about???
