Re: Fellas... I've had enough...
I for one have been constantly harassed for over two years and as such I welcome Ryan's new rules / procedures! They are long overdue. Thanks Ryan, Wayne

Re: Fellas... I've had enough...
Have you ever driven your antique car to a car show? Did you put your name on the placard and place it in the windshield?
And did the 'trolls' follow you home and steal your sweet ride? Probably not. Real names on public forums are the same.

Re: Fellas... I've had enough...
I forgot about that site, haven't looked at it in ages. Seemed like it was only maybe a dozen folks on there anyway. And Dale letting guys vent about politics did get old.
Fordbarn was always a better set up. Well run. Nice pictures posted. Responses took the thread back to the top. Most of the top Model A-V8-Model T guys seemed to be here anyway. Too many to list!! The cream (Fordbarn) does always rise, to the top! |

Re: Fellas... I've had enough...
Thanks Ryan for all you do. This forum provides a wealth of information to the new people in the hobby and to those of us who have been around a while. Do what you think best to keep this forum going. Taking care of this site takes enough of your time and there is no reason for you to put up with a few children that can play well with others. Go ahead with your plan, sounds fine to me.
Hang in there . . we, and future generations, need a site like this to help keep the old iron on the road.

Ryan -
Thank you for all the hard work and putting up this site with so few technical glitches. We truly appreciate the Forum and enjoy all who partake of it in the right spirit. Please don't give up us as the vast majority are following the rules and garnering lots of fun Ford facts and helpful hints. Thank you Sir! Be well - SHEC |

They stopped that here in South Florida for just that reason. First names only.

Re: Fellas... I've had enough...
I too want to thank Ryan for his tolerance and a great site.
Now as to the names and cities should I change my handle from Russell in Tulsa or do you think I'm OK? Just kidding as I bet I'm not the "only" Russell in town, and don't feel I've opened myself up to theft. I'm grateful to have this site to come and learn about the Model A and tales from the past and regret that I "wasted" time with other interests (at the time) re: motor home, boats, and other such things I now have no interest in that could have been spent more with the "A". I, and possibly others, thought a PM was private. Shows how much I understand computers. Ha! |

Re: Fellas... I've had enough...
Being it is a Private Forum all of it's members must follow the Rules. If they don't they risk being deleted.
Membership is an option not a right.

Re: Fellas... I've had enough...
In the town I grew up in more know me as Rowdy than Rod. Although I live 25 miles from there it is almost an even mix. Rod

Re: Fellas... I've had enough...
There's always going to 10 or 20% who cause 80-90% of the problems.
Thanks, Ryan, for what you do. I'm cool with your rules. |

I don't think Ryan will go with those suggestions, if he does, I'll have to leave and take all my knowledge and expertise about Model A Ford with me.

Re: Fellas... I've had enough...
I walked away from the Model T forums at MTFCA. I asked the leadership to moderate and get rid of politics et. al.
Hobbies that grow prosper. I took heat from that leadership but their very own written policy backed me up. They did ask that politics etc be avoided. Post for the good of the hobby. Thanks Ryan and MTFCA (on the other side).
