Sad day at the Ford Barn

I think you're probably right. Just how you'd limit the dross, while making it easier to navigate and find stuff is the $64,000 question...somehow you'd need to keep the BS down and encourage the (mainly older) folks with the knowledge to stay on there.

 

Best of luck, we need that site.

 

Glad to hear Ryan. And/or Kirk. As others have said, these two sites are my favorites.

 

Yes, but Shelly has tried to change the format a few times and just run into a brick wall with all the old timers. And thats where alot of the knowledge is. I do hope it can be saved and you are correct the searches do take forever.

 

IMHO, the "old timers" will gladly adjust to changes, if it means saving the site. At least this one will

 

Chances are a lot of the old timers on Fordbarn will migrate back to ahooga.com. Like the HAMB, fordbarn is as much a social network for the hold timers as an information source. Foul language, personal attacks and political posts were never allowed at fordbarn. What p***es as social *********** here won't cut it over there.

 

That really ****s, great people on that site. I've scored allot of parts and knowledge on that forum.

 

Bringing fordbarn into the JJ family would be a natural extension of this place.

Go for it!

 

Sounds like a great opportunity Ryan.

 

Kirk/Ryan - all I know is that, whatever happenns, thanks for being there to try and help save the 'Barn.

 

There is a post on the site saying that it WILL stay open!

FYI

 

YEP! Just read it! STAYING OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope Kirk! or Ryan had something to do with this.
