I'd be very surprised if he answers you! Don got angry about the changes here and moved to other garages.. Yes, we all miss him too.

Thank goodness....I pop in here from time to time and noticed he wasnt posting. I thought the worst but was afaid to ask. Well I have to say, I dont blame him. I used to be a fairly regular poster here untill the changes that were made here. I tried to get used to it, but crap, even now you cant just click on the forums. I had to go thru "back doors" just to get here to post! Too bad because this was one of my very favorite sites. Some of the most knowledgable and friendly people here. Plus there was never any of the head games and cyberbulling going on here. I wonder where he is hanging out now...I would love to share some thoughts with him.

Oh well I guess the powers that be have no intention of going back to the old format so I will just check in from time to time. Good luck guys and be safe!

Daniel, PM was sent, and regarding this site, your perception(s) aren't entirely accurate! We (as well as a number of sites) were attacked by some hackers and things got very goofy for a few days and evidently there have been some lingering effects! I have had the same issue as you but after clearing out the computers cache and the history files, all has been well.

I know you probably won't change your mind but I / We hope you'll continue to return and enjoy the hobby with us. As I said, if I can help you out, I will.. Just ask!

Thanks for the info. I really cant put my finger on it, but I just never could warm up to the new format. I know it was done awhile ago and other cites Im on have gone thru changes also. But for some reason this place dosent "feel" the same. It used to be my place to come to be with friends. A comfortable homey kind of feeling to it. Even though it was a slow moving forum, it kinda felt like a private club. Outsiders were always welcome and helped and respected, but the basic core was just a good ol bunch a coots swaping stories and ideas. It may still be that way, I dont know, but I just have a real mental block about the new looks and format that I just cant shake. I will still check in from time to time...but I hang out mostly at olskoolrodz and the corvetteforum. I dont care much for the HAMB and rarely if ever, post there. Mostly in their for sale area.

I never would have thought Don would have left this place and dont know the circumstances, but I do understand his not likeing the changes....I will stop in from time to time, and who knows, maybe I can still get used to it after all this time.

PS...I was going to send this as a PM but it was too long and I didnt want to delete anything.

We all understand. But the fact is, the software was outdated and there wasn't a choice! So there never was any choice of "going back".... Time marchs on and right over all of us!

We lost a few really key people over the change and sadly they haven't been back (yet?) so we hope you'll stick around. It's still the homey, slow paced, feel good group mostly..

anyway, check in from time to time, we'll be here and looking forward to hearing from you.
