GOODBYE OLD HAMB...

I have a screen capture of one of scotch's old posts on the Buick Straight Eight. That seems so primitive, even compared to this board. The new one looks killer.

This board seems more "cutting edge" than alot of boards I frequent. I know they are somewhat similar but Ryan does a really good job of keeping up with the newer technology. And doesn't even charge to be a member. Or make you feel like **** if you don't.

Thanks Ryan... hope the name change doesn't piss you off too much.

See ya on the other side... hopefully.

WTF?!!!

People are LEAVING because the FORMAT changed?

That's just weird and an interesting window into human frailty. "Change is bad!"

And "I must not think bad thoughts! I must not think bad thoughts!"

Funny...

And JimA is BACK!

 

Yeah--why not just print a screen of an old post, cut out the middle, and tape the edging to your monitor, like I'm gonna do?? I guess some people can't handle high tech...

 

Yeah... JimA is back and **** Reynolds became a conformist in his non-conformity.

It ain't nuthin' but ****in' chaos...
Once a guy gets a grip on that, everything is a whole lot clearer... or, at least, more tolerable.

He'll be back.
Who could stay mad at US?

edit:

...and I hope he comes back with the same name like JimA did. I think that's cool.

 

JimA is back?

 

Hamb so old it doesn't smell any more...

 

and a '99

 

"... and the times, they are a-changin'..." (sung in your best nasaly Bob Dylan voice). Oh, hang-on, I don't think Bob's a member... and if he is I didn't see him intro. Damn newbies.

I miss Dr. Knobcheese.

And where the Hell is Mr. Bones?

 

Does this mean there will be a new incarnation of GerM tm too?

Well, I ain't gonna be buyin' no Smart Car anytime soon.

 

Where does all the old stuff go?? BLAZE ON!!!RYAN!!! VIVA LA HAMB!!

 

UG the caveman says "fire is bad" "fire will hurt you" "no fire means easy life"

viva la HAMB - this place only gets better, hell I can't even remember the last version either.

I just can't wait until a Hybrid is considered a "cl***ic car"

 

I think I have image posting worked out now. But if it makes it easier for others and the images can load faster then I think the new format will be great. It can be so frustrating unsuccessfully tryin got post images and even more so when they are huge and take forever to load!. Bring on the new format! Geoff aka Whodaky

Seriously though - if there is one thing that I have become pretty good at, its making web applications easy to use. I mean, don't take offense by this but, building a website that does very sophisticated **** for a bunch of hot rodders isn't easy. EVERYTHING has to be very simple and clearly laid out or I get tons of "How do I" emails. As a result, every version of the HAMB has been hacked a great deal just to simplify procedures and functions.

Ryan, that is precisely the kind of thing that makes what you do so incredible to a lot of us. It's the unseen, behind-the-curtain work to keep this place up and running (not to mention usable to a bunch of monkeys like us) that seperates the HAMB from any other message board I've ever frequented.

Can't wait to see what the new HAMB is going to bring. It's just a shame to me that folks are leaving already, without even having seen the new format. Oh well, whatcha gonna do?
