Thanks for not bringing that up Josh!
We're finally warming up here. Upper 40's today and in the 50's tomorrow with a good chance of Sever Storms. We've already had our first Tornado siren test of the year, d@mn I hate that sound.
I hope y'all are doing well.

 

Doing well out here, finally able to work on the truck a little. Took my little side kick out with me yesterday to get a few measurements, sun was in her eyes lol

 

sure she wasnt saying "your not paying attention to me... "

 

Cutie saying "You want me to clean that rust with a toothbrush?"

 

Haha it might of been.

 

That's cute Larry.

Finally gonna get to the lake this weekend. All plans are set.

 

So over in the leader forums, there has been some talk about cleaning up the chapter role books and such. Like removing anyone from the chapter that hasn't posted or visited the site in over a year, or five years, to get an accurate look at how active the chapter currently is. What are ya'll's thoughts on this? Do we care, or if some one doesn't visit the site in a year or more, should we cut them from our role book?

 

ive always thought the CL need to be someone thats atleast active on the forums... but when i first started on here they had a bit more power... could close threads in their sections if need be... but from what ive been hearing lately theyre needing to go to the moderators to get this done for them... if they still had the power to police their own sections of the forums theyre supposed to be a leader of then there are some cases i could see them needing 2 leaders.. that way if one had something family wise to deal with (death in the family, accident requiring hospitals, or new family member) or just out on vacation then the other could police as the back up while the 1 is gone...

but without the power it really doesnt matter.. of what ive been hearing their responsibilities are now is approving membership requests, and handling the chapters merch sales/policing the decals and crap now... like an old forum i was on they didnt care if you made your own decals to support the forums.. but here you gotta get it "approved" by someone to print your own to support the forum...

 

 

 

I was more referring to ones that just said the website name and/or an outlined picture of the state your a chapter of like you see on some members signatures of the forum... one of the other forums i was on we had several members make their own like that or ones that usually just had just the websites address as the the logo to promote the site... we didnt really care that members did that as it brought more "foot traffic" to the site and never had a problem with mother ford over them.. but then you got other forums that throw a fit about it because your members arent BUYING the higher priced decals from the site merch distributing members claiming that it was funding the site.. i can tell you from the ones where i was in the higher controlling ranks of.. the funds that came in from sales of things like that came no where near enough to pay for the site.. it was usually the membership buying members that paid for the sites operation costs... and we didnt "bully" (as i like to refer to it as) our members with ads, throttling connections, and things like that to get them to pay for a membership.. the site was the same for the paying members as it was for the non-paying membership... and FTE is WAAAAY!!! bigger than those site i was part of ever was.. the memberships yeah we gave them some merch for paying but we also had a check box for opting out if they didnt want the stuff... more times than not they tended to check that box on the next year around...
