Post by Bert »

Hello friends,

Currently we have 5 forums
  • ww2dodge
  • Pre ww2 army truck
  • Chevy and GMC
  • ww2 Army Truck
  • Market
Each has it's own topics but there are topics within ww2dodge concerning all forums or topics that don't fit any of above. Would it be a good idea to open a new forum for question about the forum itself, questions about the site, questions about anything NOT related to trucks and a place to chat.

Do you think there will be enough topics to justify a seperate forum and what should it be called? Something like The pub or the Mess? Let me know!
Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Hello Bert and Gordan

I think you both have provided us with a really great forum and now we can easily post photo's, even better!! I belong to about 6 other forums and this one is by far the nicest all around, and that shows by the fact that I always check here first!!

The other day I think it was Dave A who mentioned the 8th USAAF in one of his replies and I would of liked to of told a story about my neighbour who was in the 8th.

I belong to a WW1 forum and they had an OT (off topic) forum and a COT (completely off topic) forum. After a while they did away with the COT because some of the members complained (not me by the way)that all it was about was getting drunk on Belgium beer in Ypres!

I personal believe that if you have great forum members (as I think we do), then having a OT forum would be a nice addition.

Thank you
Paul

Hi Bert.
How about aiming the new forum at drivers of decidedly good equipment or DODGE Forum for short. Ahh..... Just a thought.

I got to agree with Vista on how the forum is the best one around. Like Vista said a bit of topic forum would be ok. It would be a place to announce neices and nephews being born or about good places such as museums to see. Also to help plan trips with the dodges or family

Post by Ernie Baals »

Hi
I also agree,
This is one of my favorite sites, and i could no have finished my WC4 with out the help of the fine people here.
i almost feel as i know Gordon personally, even though we have never met.

I general info furum would be nice, my only suggestion is no religion or politics allowed.

thanks again for a great site.
