This used to be a great site

This forum remains my benchmark for "how it should be". I've been away lately, and have only checked in sporadically for the last year, so perhaps I "missed" the drama.

Eric/BW (and other mods): thanks for all you do to keep this the best community (in the most literal sense of the word) that it can be. I know it must test your patience.

Two points:
1. as I just posted in my resto-thread, I've been the benefactor of very generous support from another member which solved a HUGE problem for me, gratis.
2. my daily driver over the last year has been an older BMW... enjoyed the car, and the experience, but anytime I was trying to figure something out with it, I'd lament that there were no forums of similar caliber to this... and even inside the Jeep world, I don't even bother going on other Jeep forums because none of them hold a candle to this.

Not sure how much I'll be on here over the next few years, but I'll certainly be checking in to see your (collective) progress on projects and to keep the fire burning inside.

Thanks, to all of you, for this place, and what you make it.

As a moderator on another Cj forum Id like to give this site the "props" it deserves. As far as a Scrambler specific site this one is 2nd to none , not even close. I challenge anyone to use their Google-Fu and find one better. I dont even have my Scrambler anymore but I visit here almost daily. I had a few members of this forum give me a tip on parts they thought I may want ( 1 just yesterday ) parts sent for free , just alot of good Jeep karma. There will be times when a close knit bunch doesnt see eye to eye , like a family. :wave: You guys have that here. Its the members of this site that have made it the place it is. And if you do run across a problem with this site pm B.W. or Polarfire and Im sure they can help you with any concerns. There are alot of things that go on behind the scenes to keep your favorite sites up and running.

How can anyone hate one a site that has dancing bacon? Seriously? :bacon::bacon:

A sincere thank you, for many reasons. Stay safe and very glad to hear you have your Scrambler safely stored for you.
 
I'm once again reminded why this forum is a rarity. I posted a wanted ad for some Jeep XJ parts on another site just a few days ago. I don't visit that site everyday and within the time I posted the ad and today (4 days) someone had responded to my ad (2 days ago) and another person had swooped in and bought the parts out from under me. I blame myself for not checking back everyday but I also have become accustom to this site where that kind of thing rarely happens and folks take their turn and respect order of who asked first. Makes me glad to be a member here but also reminds me I need to sharpen my skills on other sites!
 
I don't know what I missed but I'm sorry I missed it. I belong to three different forums, this one, one for my Hummer H1 and one for my Corvette ZR1. Even though I haven't been here as regular as before this is still the best. This is a community and as such there will be great times and even a spat now and then. There's nothing wrong with a difference of opinion but if it gets down to name calling then it really gets out of hand. I'll have more to say soon as I'm planning a engine and tranny swap.
 
Definitely issues with other Jeep forums (and Harley ones for that matter). I wish we could get a select few members that come to mind from them over here. While they spend their time on 7s and 5s the knowledge they have would be welcome. I owe a lot to them for the CJ7 restoration I did.

Speaking of Corvettes, I am a member of one forum and feel like I am between a rock and a hard place. Lots of great info and smart folks but man do they have ____ envy. When I first got my C2, I introduced myself like we do here and instead of welcome comments I was made fun of. I was asked if I knew how to take care of a C2, I mentioned the 7 restoration as well as others (Scout 80, modern Jeep customizations (I've owned 14 counting the ones I have now), etc.. I was told that nothing compares to a Vette and that I would probably have to sell it within a year. Folks even took the time to PM me with crap. When I completed the re-wire of the car front to back, people shut up but still. Needless to say I don't post at all on that site but do go there when I need help and search the archives.

Put it this way, in all the years and all the forums that I have been and continue to be a member of, this is the first one I have paid for a membership. SO worth it.
