I've seen some negative posts lately that make me reflect on what I like about this forum and its users. My reflections remind me what a great family this is, and I grateful such a community exists. Thus, I am going to inject some positivity back into the forum and I encourage others to posts there POSITIVE thoughts as well.

Some quick random thoughts about what I like:

1. This forum and members have always treated me like family, and I try to do the same. Never met a bad person on this forum.

2. When looking for a Scrambler, I had a forum member go look at one on my behalf across the country from me. This member never asked for any money, he did it out of kindness. Where else are you going to find someone do that for a complete stranger?

3. The forum is a great escape from the hectic day-to-day drama of everyday life.

4. This forum surrounds me with people who appreciate and love these old Jeeps just as much as I do. No one else understands!

Again, maybe I am sappy, but I do really feel honored to be a part of such a cool Jeep family. I hope this forum never regresses to what many others have become and I hope this post reminds us all how lucky we are to own these Jeeps and be part of this community.
 
I enjoy the camaraderie on this site. I also enjoy the diversity of backgrounds, skill, and knowledge. I am glad the hardcore or mod folks accept the purist folks and vice versa. (I must admit I do cringe from time to time, and I'm sure they roll their eyes from time to time). Folks are always quick to share and give input on anything Scrambler related. All-in-all a Great forum!

Well put. I agree 100%
 
Ditto! I don't have any real life friends who own Jeeps or Scramblers. I am working on meeting the three around me, but that hasn't happened yet. My wife would rather stick an ice pick in her ear than listen to me excitedly describe my new headlight circuit. (she wasn't nearly as pleased as I was) I can't wait to meet you guys at a SOA event one of these years.

I agree! I have learned lots already. I got a tear in my eye when I read the original post (well maybe not but close)! :-)
 
I can't tell you how much I appreciate and needed this thread right now. Seriously. Thank you for posting this. :bow:
 
This thread, and the truth it contains, is what I like about this site and what makes this site the best damn Scrambler...I mean CJ-8 site on the planet!
 
Although I have been a member of this forum for just a few months, It has been HUGE for me! I am new to Jeep and Scrambler ownership and the knowledge shared on this forum is unbelievable. Everyone here is so willing to share their knowledge of these great Scramblers. I have learned tons and bought a few needed parts from forum members at very reasonable prices!

I love this place!

Well said, and I think I'm a rolling example of all your guys generosity, with me flying into different places and staying with forum members literally in their homes while chasing Jeeps. Picking me up at the airport late at night, thawing me out after driving without heat, sending me a lead, and many many more examples as that just scratches the surface. The hospitality, the character here, and friendship on this site is too great to put into words.

Thank you again, all, you know who you are :)
 
Best forum
Best folks
Best advise

For the sickness we all share...
 
My wife thinks I am nuts (I am) when I say I am going to a friends place to pick up a part or get some work done on the Scrambler. She asks how can it be a friend when I only know them through the forum. Easy. I know the guys are great before we ever meet face to face. And so far I have been right with this forum.


Due to the distances between us on this forum I have not met as many of you all in person but I would very much like to and look forward to the days that I do. Hit me up if you are ever in northern Virginia.
