Historical posts review...

Post by Cal_Gary »

Hello All,
When I get bored I sometimes go down Memory Lane here and view my historical posts, and others. This time around I clicked on a number of our forum members as I went, to see how long it's been since they logged on-I was stunned to see that a number of members that went back to the Big Electric days (before I joined) and a number of members who used to post frequently have just disappeared, in some cases for several years. Others seemed to disappear soon after reporting that they'd purchased an M37 or other vehicle. The ratio of actual forum members being reported as passing on is miniscule, leaving me and perhaps some of you with an empty, "...wonder what happened to..." feeling.

Perhaps it's time to ensure your logon and password is shared or recoverable with someone you trust, in case they have to report the eventual news that you or me have moved on to the great motor pool in the sky. I know I'm not getting any younger but the closeness of the members of this forum keeps us united. I'd just hate to see any more of us just suddenly stop posting altogether leaving the forum wondering again, "...what happened to...?"

I'm not calling on everyone to openly provide your logon info to whomever, but think about it. Perhaps you've met some forum members who'd take that on-I know the forum guys I've met who are still here like Bob (Brigand), Bert, Andy, or Don would be willing to report my passing in my wife Veronica's behalf, to provide closure to all, and I'd graciously do the same for them.

Any thoughts?
Gary

Gary,
Sounds like a reasonable idea to me. I told Hilde when they haul me off to the junkyard that she'll be the proud new custodian of the M37, the forum will get a new member! Heck, she'd probably be on here looking at power steering and power brakes :). On a serious note, the forum would be useful to help family pass on the trucks to someone who would appreciate them and keep 'em on the road.

I think Josh moved on, not sure what he did with his turbo'd M?

Somewhat of the same was talked about on theM715 Zone. The conclusion there was a facebook is becoming a popular place for talking about the hobby. I don't (won't) do facebook so can't look on it to see.
