trouble maker  

Actually I think partisipation is up.  It just doesn't look like it because all the posts are neetly orgonized under each thread instead of visible like they were before.

We are only in to this 20 days so these numbers speek volumes.  that is not quite 70 posts a day.

Total number of topics: 223
Total number of posts: 1,337
 

It's OK, Sally - you don't have to feel like the Lone Ranger. Some of us still prefer the old forum better. Like they used to say in the Navy - "ya can make me work here, but ya can't make me like it".  There were certain aspects of the old forum that I still like better, regardless of how better or more modern this one claims to be.

Us old dinosaurs have to remember the dinosaur motto - "resist change at all costs"....

I will now be dragged kicking and screaming into the future.

The new reconfigured site is fine....more compact ,precise,detailed...its not bad....like any changes in our lives we have to get used to them.....jj

i like the new forum but i also liked the old format.  It does seem like less folks are on these days in comparison to the "old days" but, we've also added many new members too which is a great thing. 

Not sure if all the aspects of a busy life have gotten in the way and many of us simply don't have time to spend here right now.  Me, i'm logging in several times a day to check on things and will continue to do so.

I continue to appreciate not being annoyed by pop up ads, sponsor ads, etc........other "mustang" sites drive me crazy with those things.

Regardless of the format of this forum, the bottomline is we have a great vehicle in place to help one another with issues we may have with a hobby we all love.  The additional benefit is this forum has led to some outstanding friendships..........friendships which would probably have never occured if not for this forum.......just keeping it in perspective..

and Sal, you ain't no trouble maker........


 

Well, even I have not gotten comfortably into a groove with the new format.  In the old forum, there were around 1,500 registered users, most of whom have come and gone and we were down to a core group with a few newcomers every week.  So far here, we have 260 registered, with alot of those being new people.  We did make alot of new friends with the old format, but just think of all the new friends you haven't even met yet.

I am still in the mode of "trying to make the new format work".  I like everything about it except the fact that I cannot easily tell what I have read already and what has not been read.  You have to be carfeful and methodical to make that part work, and I do not necessarily have those qualities.  I really do feel that once everyone gets used to it, it will work out just fine.  I am just as bad as anyone else about not liking change from what I am comfortable with.  Heck, if we all had our way and wanted to stay right where we are most comfortable, we would all still be in the womb.  Every one of us was dragged kicking and screaming from THAT comfortable place in our lives, so this is just one more event in the big scheme of things.

The more posts you personally make, the more people will get to know you.  Just tell us what you did to your car and what problems you incountered on the way so you stay in tune with everyone.  Not every post has to be a question.  This is not JEAPORDY.   Just keep involved and the format will become just as comfortable as the old one.
