Nice job guys. Thanks for keeping it a civilized discussion...
I'm in to help with the writing. I'll wait for the post.

I'm pleased to hear that our wishes have been taken into consideration. I've NEVER known Ken to be unfair, on the contrary.....

It was, as it has almost always been, civilized, because it's the kind of folks we are. It's also a credit to you and Kwik that we stay that way.

If the work load of moving misplaced subjects gets really burdensome, a quick note to us will likely go a long way. We don't need to be creating any additional work around here for anybody!

I guess there's such a thing as "forum loyalty" here, AND WE'VE GOT IT!!! It's easy to have when you drive the best out there (despite those high-revvin' whippersnappers).

It is rare, but it does occasionally happen. When it does happen I remove the offending content without remorse.

Very nice of you to say. Thank you.

Nice job guys. Thanks for keeping it a civilized discussion...it has paid off for you.
Thanks for all your hard work for us Scott, and for the help you've given me personally - GLAD to hear things are good!

Wow - I have to say - I was starting to get a little worried reading all the pages of this post from today... but I am PROUD to say I am a 7.3 PSD forum member ( HECK - I have the stickers on my truck to prove it ) I think that was handled VERY well - this is a great bunch of guys on here!! Can you imagine how this would have gone down over at the 'Stop?? I don't even bother looking at the "other" sites anymore - too much junk!!

I really do consider this my home - and it just wouldn't be the same posting else-where!! I don't get as much time to post as I used to - but I check in every morning, and most every night to see what is new here!!

beofre i found this site i used to go over to the stop but after finding this site i havent been back there yet. fte is so much better. everyone here is very helpful and Kwik and Cookie do an excellent job keeping the forums clean and organized. i admit i have posted some things i shouldnt have but they were deleted immediately. you guys are great and know more about these trucks than anyone i know. i wouldnt have even known about all the mods i can do to my truck. this site has saved me money and also cost me a lot but i am glad for that. thanks to everone who has helped me with my questions. this site is great

Me too.

By the way, everybody, my wife hates you.

Don't take it personally. She's just jealous...

Clearly it was the fault of a gasser. They don't know how to act...

Lots of posts on this thread tonight. A few of my thoughts.

I'm glad to see a lot of participation in this particular thread, and to know that the higher-ups are listening.

Only once have I ever reported a thread. And it was what I feel was someone being a little unfair to one of the sponsors. It was handled promptly and professionally.

For the FAQ page, I'll be more than happy to help in anyway that I can. Be it researching to find subject matter or writing up some of the mods. I've learned so much here, and this would just scratch the surface of what I'm willing to do in return.

It's good to see that we are able to keep the forum how it is, at least for now. I think we can all help the mods to move any incorrect threads to their respective place, if it just doesn't belong here.

Scott and Dan, my hats off to you two as well. This place is unlike any other PSD forum on the net. The friendlieness and camaraderie here is second to none. I feel like if we were all to somehow be able to meet up at one place at the same time, it would be like a bunch of friends who haven't seen each other in years. We vary so much in age (16 to ??), gender, backgrounds, how modded our trucks are, etc... but none of that matters here. This site is not a competition. It's a place to learn and help each other out.

Oh, and my girlfriend isn't such a big fan of the forum either.

What does your truck have to say about it?? THAT's what is important.

Well, the truck's got the mods, so if that tells you anything...

I guess you have to decide which would be more fun to play with after modification...

Hmmm...that can be a tough one. On one side, there's the girl. No explanation needed there. But on the other side, the truck never complains, whines, tells me what to do, or get's mad and throws a fit over stupid things. And, the truck's not replaceable.

I'm going to send that troublemaker cookie88 a PM and remind him that on topic threads are off topic in the diesel forums.

Closing this one out.
