guess who's back. back again
 
Zfrk's back. tell a friend.

yes, i'm coming out from under my rock and making an appearance after who-knows-how-long.

hope the atmosphere here is somewhat similar to the old days. Haven't been on forums in a long, long, time.

Atmosphere, what atmosphere LOL :-\

There are people who check the forums regularly, and fewer who post. But they are familiar names :)

Before my time I guess lol

What happened to the darkside, no fun anymore ?? ;)

ZfrkS62 06-23-2010 11:40 AM

hahaha. actually the missing names are all over here:laugh:

Minacious 06-23-2010 07:20 PM

I never did make it over there. I blame RC and Global Warming.

How is it?

ZfrkS62 06-23-2010 09:50 PM

It's ok. posting rate is nothing what JW used to be, and really it's only the old names posting anyway. There's not a whole lot that fuels posting either (ie no flame wars). Dunno how it's been over here since I have no idea when i last logged in.

Every so often some topic blows up to 10 replies! So Zfrks62's return is the talk of the town :) ;)

We need to spark a fire under the butt of MW. Sadly, much has changed in the lives of many of the core group that the chances of a resurgence of the glory days are slim to none.

Yes, sadly as time goes on, the amount of time I spend hammering my fingers on my keyboard has dropped. On the big message boards out there, there is continuous 'new blood' to keep things interesting. Without that large appeal of content, what we have here is considerably lower response/topic rates.

I do wonder how the 'dark side' managed to never grow despite having it's own user-based content for years. Spammers excluded, we've continued to grow (in terms of real users sign up at least).

ZfrkS62 06-24-2010 01:37 AM

TAU gets 2-3 newbies a week it seems. But like the old days, they stay quiet. I seem to remember JW at it's peak attracting at least 5/day it seemed. I don't see a 3 hour quest to get a specific lurker to make their first post happening anytime soon sadly.

TT is still posting away pics and the car sighting's board is still active. But I do think that time and age has pulled many of us away from forums and into real life. I know that was my reason for dropping off the radar for so long.

When I started posting over there again, I picked up like I had never left. Hijacked a couple of threads with my return, alone :laugh:

Nah, you weren't too far behind me in joining. I remember seeing you post here and there.

Ahh fuckit, let me say what each one of the conservative leaning folks here is thinking:

I would love to know what all those liberal leftwing Bush-bashing America-hatng obama-loving cocksuckers have to say about things now???

2 years later and now what? All those "oooh evil Bush" and "obama is the future" bleeding heart whining euros are astonishingly silent I bet... ;) :lol:

And as fo rthe rest of the US-based treasonous obama-bootlicking Bush-bashers - they can all go fuck themselves and quite frankly not having to wade through their anti-capitalist anti-American pro-european drivel on a daily basis is quite relaxing. :clap::tongue::biggrin::rofl:

There - now that the air is cleared, let's talk cars ;)

The political forum is one thing i don't miss. Hell there really isn't much political talk over there at all, minus the thread about the Greek riots.

Probably helps that there only about 5 Americans, including myself, on that board. Ah, whatever.

So what the hell is going on in the car universe anyway? With all the new shit BMW has been pinching off lately, it'shard to keep up with everyone else:angry:

BTW, I wasnt talking about the political forum (that has been dead for over 3 years), I was talking about the people ;)

I guess the .Gov taking over GM and Chrysler must have not made the talking points either?

We are stuck with killer Toyotas, bland Mazda and fast Fords among other things.

welcome back, guy with the bunny avatar.

Like everyone else, I'm at fault for the lack of activity these days. I still attend plenty of events, but rarely have the ambition/time to follow up by posting pics and a write-up. I just checked out the Barett-Jackson auction this weekend and the Formula SAE West competition last weekend. I doubt I'll get around to posting either of them. Ich habe keine Zeit.

T-Bird 07-03-2010 01:51 AM

yeah I unfortunately dont have much time for the forums anymore either I check in every once in a while. Life is getting hectic for sure. I miss the glory days on here for sure! I tend to stick to a mazda forum and thats it these days.
