where are all the people?
 

i know i have asked this before but i still dont see a improvement. what has happened to this sight. used to be there was people on here all the time.but in the last yr or so it has shrunk to just a few diehards.take this section of the forum for example. no new posts since the 20th. why? we havent changed, have we?we still love to race and build cars .we are still all friends.when i can work i go to the shop but not before checkin in here first.id stay longer but there is no acitivity going on.i stay on the hamb alot and i mean alot. but thats because of my choise of cars.i deal only with old hotrods and cars.but i still love my rj.and believe me tqwe are alot friendlier here than there.lol anyway can someone explain to me why there is almost no one posting anymore. and you cant blame it on race season because it was slow in the dead of winter.

Summers here and lives get busy I think. I stick my head in here at least 2 times a day.
I spend a lot of time on another forum thats very Camaro specific but I always end up back here.
It has been quiet, you can always depend on Duane to post stuff up in the Vent but its mostly political and that is far from my thing.

By the way Ken, how you doing today? I actually had you on my contact list today just to touch base and make sure everything is going OK.

Happy Hump Day! :D

A few reasons I think.
We don't really let people on here with fake log in's. We regulars have real info about who we are and don't hide behind a computer. We don't post or put up with a lot of bs or nude stuff. A lot of guys get on other forums just to be smart a??@$ and we usually run those off pretty quick.

It's usually kinda quiet until somebody starts a big scam thread or some other crap. Always a bunch of post when that kind of stuff is going on.

I hope the economy is a little better for everybody and they're able to get back to the lake / river, vacations, racing, etc.!!!


Also like harb said, it's summer and it's been really nice outside for a while.

I think the economy has alot of people putting there cars on ice for the past couple of years ( trades & construction here in il are about as bad as it can get) Im one of them. After 18 years in business I have shut down my dump truck business & my truck is being sold off by a broker and is being shipped to africa, three straight years of losing my azz is done. Also just went through a split up of a partnership in properties that is 26 years old....bad times bring many changes.....hobbys are the last thing on alot of peoples minds these days.

Well i am as busy as a cat covering up crap right now. When i get here late at night. All you have gone to bed. Seem's myself and Ron Owens are the only late Racing Junkies :!: :!: LOL :lol: :lol: Maybe you guy's could take a short nap and join us :?: :lol:

ME THINKS YOUR RITE!! :lol:

Outlaw,
I'm on here almost every nite. Mostly I just read and learn from all you guys that have so much experience. Sometimes I put my 2 cents in. I suspect a lot of guys are on here, like me, mostly reading.

well i quess all are valid reasons.i was afraid it was going to slow down so much they just shut it down. happenend to a forum i liked not to long ago.oh and mark, you drivin a mopar i can see why your so busy. hard work keepin those damn things runnin.loljust kiddin my freind. i really have always liked the mpoars.they are legendary in my heart!! mr. harbone, when i feel like typing a book ill send you a pm,let you know what going on with me. tanks guys for the answers, gives me just a tad more to think about.lol

I am still around. I dont post as much but then again it is hard for me to post as much with me being halfway around the world from you guys. i mainly read the post and see where it goes from there.

good observation Outlaw..I been here close to a decade and each summer it slows down a lot on the forum. after racing season /vacations it will pick back up...always does :D

plus no matter what everyone else says...RACINGJUNK is the most popular sight out here, some may beg to difffer but I know 1st hand it is..Many choose other forums so they can get on there and MF you and your Family without any repercussion ...Here we do not allow that and our members or ethically bettter then this (IMO),,thats why we have a good solid core membership.

Now I do promote some good taste Ribbing,,thank goodness our guys know the line.

I think we all tend to agree that we would not mind our children reading what we post here on the RJ Forum...without saying names can other sites say this with a clear thought in mind ???? :roll: :?:

no they can not!!!!!!!!!!

Brethern:

You are my bruthas. Some times some of us take too long to "check in"... I am guilty of that myself. My little ones are still in school & we have homework too. That has made things a little tough... but soon it will be summer. Kidney stones screwed up my whole life for about a week too. Been working on my 68 Chevelle some; got a cruse coming up on June 1st... can't wait for that. Juice is right; this is the best place ever still. I love the knowledge, advice, friendship, etc... & I agree with DOUBLE-"D" about the change we need in this country... gets me fired up too much sometimes.... but I like talkin' politics & God even if it is a touchy topic. That said- I can understand Harb's lack of interest in politics too. BTW Harb: did you get the pile of DOG CRAP I sent you in the mail?? LOL. I knew you would like the "Sticker" too... seemed like the thing to do. I sent Harb a miniature whoopie cushion fart noise maker, & my son's Hot Wheel 32 blown coupe.... I would not do that for just anyone... but for RJ Bretheren... it is no problem. I gotta get DD some AN's!!! hey DD: do you need any 8's?? I noticed you need 10's. I am sorry it has taken me so long... It will be done this weekend... I hope I still have some 10's. Anyways, we are all tight. I feel like I could call any of you fools/ any time!! You know that you could call me too. Most of my RJ time is done @ work; so it depends how busy I am too (that sounds bad, but true). I hope all you guys have a good Memorial Day!!! God Bless!!! Scooter

lost people
 

maybe they left because of all the pop ups! i hate them and especially now when i sign on and it takes me to a different site first. if i wanted that site i would have gone there first! c'mon rj get it together and stop all the garbage.

I am here every day checking in,but I seldom post much.Also summer is here and people are out and about,it will pick up in September.

Hope all has a happy and safe 4th of July.

Tom

Re: lost people
 

I don't think that is RJ's fault !!
I use Google Chrome with a pop up blocker and I have never had any trouble what so ever. JMO

check in. :D

Im here and there

im here but not so much there, cant seem to get THERE!

Are any of us really all there?? :P

Well, if I'm HERE, and you'alls are THERE, WHERE the heck are WE ????

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Who is on first, what is on second and I am on third. Wait, I don't know is on third.... :roll:

If anybody ask, I am not here! Never have been.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it :shock: :arrow:

Where are
 

I am still here.

Been on vacation for a while and took in a 3 good races.

Ohio Valley had a great Saturday ET race. Over 60 cars in 1st round of 2 classes. Mostly 60-70 door cars.

Bowling Green had a 3 day $20000 race. Went on Sunday. Almost all 4 second dragsters. Over 100 in first round. Got bored at that one.

Dragway 43 in Lawrenceburg Tennesse had a great Pro Mod race. 18 Pro Mods racing for 8 spots. My friends from Illinois were there with their twin turbo 2007 Mustang and qualified 7th @4.22.

The LOWMAD Nomad won @ 3.94. Has been 3.58.

Anyway now that I am back home it is too hot to enjoy racing. Been around 100 degrees for a week or more and going to be this week too.

Been staying in the garage and working on other people rides in the A/C.

I have never been all there but i am here :!: :!: :lol:

I am here as usual, hotter than heck here this week. I got up at 6am this morning just so I could stain my deck before the day turns into an oven!

I've been working on my truck a bunch. I could write a book about all the stuff that went wrong. It got to a point it was funny. Fix one thing and something else happens.
It was all simple stuff like leaks, carb. needle stuck and filled motor full of gas. Had to go get and borrow parts. Broke a nos fitting, had to go get parts. First time ever cranking the motor the water pump died.
Literally had somebody putting a new motor on the water pump while I was in the drivers meeting. Ran over my tent leg with the golf cart. Nitrous wiring problem (my fault of course), BUT I GOT IT DOWN THE TRACK . Well one good time till the wiring problem got me.
Took the nitrous timers and wiring out and starting from scratch with a new 3 stage controller instead of the little timers and relays I had.

Where am I :?: :?:

calm down itsabird, your with me, now when i say duck,do it!!!

i use to come here and stay for hrs. now i can read whats new in just a few mins.whats up with that? come on guys write some sh%%.!

Ok Outlaw!
I'm just finishing up doing an in-frame on my 2440 John Deere, a 60hp 4 cyl diesel. I had water in oil, and oil in the water. The o-rings on the cylinder liners were shot. Now fixing some hydralic leaks, then I'll be out mowing weeds!
Then, back to the fun stuff. I was working on getting my 125" cm altered certified when I had to fix John Deere, so I'll finish that. Then I'm going to build a 421 sbc, Dart block, and all the good stuff to go into the altered.

Awesome !!!!!! Luv the John Deere Tractor Stuff. :D

You da MAN !

of course you would bj, your a southern boy!!! lol

Brutheren:

Us core folks need to stick together. I think it is Summer that keeps us from being on here... I am always working on something, riding something, trying to stay in the sun as long as I can before the rain & cloudy days.

Been driving my Chevelle to work a lot, riding dirtbikes, Rv'n some, etc... but those days are coming to an end soon.

I was on the hi-way the other day in my Chevelle & in my rear view mirror I saw a blue 71 Chevelle come up right behind me... had a bug catcher & a 671... stayed together for about 2 miles... it was cool. Reminded me of the old days. That dude blew by me... I wasn't even going to try to stay with him... he gave a thumbs up & took off. He looked like Wolfman Jack. Maybe it was??? LOL. Stick around; we are a dynamic group here.

hey scooterz dont i know you....lol
