Some reflection on Dodge Charger.com forum after 11 years on-board

[AKcharger]

I never knew how much I liked DC.com till I visit other sites. I have CONSISTENTLY gotten solid answers to most all my questions on Chargers and people genuinely want to help. With few exceptions, it's drama free and the "I have a better car than you" attitude is few and far between. Other places I've been it seems like posts/questions are unanswered and bumped to page 14 in seconds and/or people are more interested in showing who has the biggest genitals rather than help you out.

So a sincere thanks to the people here and the Mods, from "what's my car worth" to how to remove the shifter knob and even "chicks on Chargers" a great place to be...Thanks!

[TUFCAT]

Everybody adds sumthin'!     This is a great place to hang your hat   ....you don't even have to own a Charger!  

[grdprx]

I too am grateful for DC.com. I came here with a dream and now I'm driving it!  Got a ton of work to get where I want my Charger, but I know I can do it with help and support here.

[TUFCAT]

Tan Top, you've summed it up perfectly for me!  

[Kern Dog]

I have never been to a site that has people bragging about their genital size. 

[Crazy Larry]

All I know is that this site is great, and I just watched the full video of that dancing track girl.....

Wow. Chargers and Australian runners. What a site!

[Chad L. Magee]

Yes, this site is a lot more peaceful than other car websites that I have been on.  One in particular tends to be nothing more than outright war sometimes on their topics.  I try to foster open discussions there (especially on science topics), but they constantly become mudslinging fights between certain members.  But, I don't typically get that here.  Don't get me wrong, we do occasionally have our differences on here, but (with a few exceptions) we tend to be much more civil with discussions.  I would like to personally thank Troy for all of his hard work on here, as well as the moderators, as that can be a daunting job to do....

[bill440rt]

The mods are definitely not thanked enough. They devote much of their free time and energy providing and monitoring this forum for all to enjoy. For the most part, it is a very civil forum and extremely informative.
If I haven't said it lately, Thanks Mods! 

[TruckDriver]

I been on this version of the site since 2005, but with the old version with the other admin for 2 years prior to 2005. Even though I been Chargerless since 2007, I stay here because of the friendships I made here.

Everything you guys before my post, I totally agree with you

figure of speech, but accurate  

[Dino]

I forget when I joined here, as Doc74, but it was quite a bit before the new site came to be.  Jesse was still the owner I think.  This place has become more than just a place to hang out.  In 2004 I met my future wife here in Charger chat and yes we're still happily married.   

A big thanks to Troy and the mods for keeping this place going.      

[Baldwinvette77]

I remember back when i was like 12 or 13 out of boredom i would look up pictures of musclecars while at school, and everytime i'd search 1969 charger or general lee, i would always get a few links to this site, i never joined, but i was aware of it for a very long time (based on percentage of age)  i remember stumbling across stuntman mikes death proof charger thread around the time the movie came out, but again, never joined, eventually when i got serious about owning a 2nd gen charger i remembered.. "ohyeah.. wasn't there a website dedicated to this car?, maybe ill find one there" and i believe i was sent a pm the same day i posted my wanted ad... which i posted about 30 seconds after i signed up  and thats the car.. (or what was left of a car) that i ended up owning 

[Mytur Binsdirti]

And the most obvious thing is that this place started getting better in mid May 2012.

[Cooter]

'With the obvious exceptions, there are those other sites that would cause many here to just pack it in and leave the first time they posted some dumbass, sarcastic BS and got their card pulled. Then, there are those here who are known as card 'pullers'. The difference is Troy allows both here to work out differences. Instead of doing what many sites do, having p**sy mods who don't come to Carlisle, or any other ventures, and exercise their 'onlineballs' to delete, block, ban those who aren't part of the 'clique', and single them out as 'troublesome'. That F. Look site has one 'not well endowed' ass who constantly puts down the modifiers of the board stating that there's hot rod forums for them.. (as if that entire site was for purists?)...

So glad the mods here don't pull this pu**y ass sh*t. For the most part, it's at least fair. Thanks guys.

[dyslexic teddybear]

I'm on a few sites, both automotive as well as other interests.....

None other has an almost 100% "I would like to meet in person" like this one.



Thanks to all.

[Ghoste]

Did it get better in May 2012 because that Richard Cranium guy was finally gone?

[myk]

Who?

[Ghoste]

We used to have this guy on here called Richard Cranium, he was quite famous.

[dyslexic teddybear]

Before my time here.....but shouldn't that be "infamous"?


Just from a few references I have read.......

[myk]

I always miss the good stuff.  Would it be too much if I asked what he was famous for?

[Ghoste]

Mytur Binsdirti probably knows him better than anyone, maybe he can tell you more about him.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Mytur Binsdirti probably knows him better than anyone, maybe he can tell you more about him.

He's a hell of a guy & there is so much to say and too little time to say it. But to give you an example; he once visited the Virgin Islands and when he left, it was just....The Islands.

[myk]

Oh wow, I didn't know Chuck Norris was on this website...

Hey Doc, I did not know you had changed your screen name. When I used to talk to you you were still trying to get over here to the US. Of course I took a few years off from the Charger so I wasnt around here much. Good to see ya again!

Steve

[Neal_J]

Yea, yea, yea, great site.   But I still want my t-shirts from Jessie.  I'll cut you, dawg, I swear...

I miss some of the really-old-timers - StratoBrock for a good laugh or ChargerBill to see what happens when someone flunks anger management class many, many times. 

Neal

PS - My genitals are huge.

[Ghoste]

I wonder where he ended up, does he even have a car anymore?  Maybe he took that t-shirt money and split for Cuba.

[1970Moparmann]

"I love you guys" LOL.  All kidding aside, I agree with the original post and what you guys are saying.  Charger.com is just different.   

I truly appreciate all the help and support I have received from all of the senior members.  I have learned a lot, and continue to learn.  I with I was more mechanically inclined than what I am, but I made continue to learn and have more confidence on working on these old cars.  Like everyone else, I've said to myself I was going to sell over and over again.  But, I get the advise that I need to fix the current issue and move on.

Thanks a ton Troy and the mods for keeping the site that way it is.

Hey Steve!  I took a few years off myself but I did make it over here in January of 2007 and married Emily!  It's unbelievable to look back to when we were hanging out in the chat room and now I'm on this side of the pond.   

So how's life treating you?  I sometimes think back to all the people in the chat, I don't think any of them are still active here.  We sure had a good time!

[Bob T]

5 years for me and its been a huge source of knowledge for repairs, mods or general stuff about my cars, had a few laughs too. Huge Thanks to Troy and mods for keeping that way. Also, greatly appreciated is the tech section with real world tips from guys that build and race or have found a better way to achieve a good result.

There's been births, deaths and lots of interesting amd imaginative threads on builds, restos and mods over the time as well as peoples life experiences at the same time.
Most of the members I'd happily share a few beers and talk cars with if I ever got to Carlisle or one of the big U.S. shows.

Cheers,
Kiwi Bob

Cant complain Doc. Life is pretty good. Got married and built a new house, so the Charger went on the back burner. Just built a stroker and installed a blower this week. Glad you said Emily. I was trying to remember her name. Tell her hello.

[Patronus]

What about that dude that got the chicks thread locked!
We must never forget 

[Ghoste]

Ha!  Which chicks thread?  There have likely been about four and someone gets them locked every single time.

Shhhhhh... some Tshirts owners are still waiting for theirs LOL

[Nacho-RT74]

shame we could never made the Board Charger... it was as far I recall a 68 383 4 speeds

[chaos52]

I'll second what OP said. There's no place like DC.com. Hopefully some day I'll make it to an event and meet some of you in person. 

[RallyeMike]

Because of this site, I've met new friends, found parts I needed, got some good tips, laughed my ass off, and even got leads on a few cars. I'd have to say that the 11 days of my life spent here have been a good investment.

I even managed to nail several members wives and girlfriends

Thanks guys (and gals).

[RallyeMike]

... now that you've all been subjected to my terrible sense of humor again,.... I just have to say with all sincerity that I have appreciated my time here and all the contributions everyone has made.
