Applause for the new(er) members joining and posting

Post by T.Low »

It seems to me that there has been a good influx of newer members in the last few months, maybe even the last year. :-k

Awesome. :cheers:
Luv to see the new blood and activity on one of my favorite forums. Keeping it fresh. Thanks new guys and keep posting. =D>
Ther's been some great contributions. And even the smaller stuff leads to good activity and discussion on the site. All good reading.

Oh, and that doesn't mean that I don't appreciate the old guys too. You all do a helluva job, thanks a ton. :prayer:

Overall, I like the fact that while we don't blow wind up eachother's skirts around here, we do appreciate the incredible value of ASV's knowledge base and expertise, and it's "encouraging" atmosphere.

Bravo.

I've noticed the forum get busier too and the atmosphere is very civil. We must be doing something right. I hope it stays this way, and I hope the forum becomes THE destination for Astro/Safari help and discussion. I think that something we can work towards is organising all the valuable info we already have. I would love to see concise how-to guides, complete with pictures, in each section. Maybe even our own Wiki down the road.

Bravo. =D>

I took some time off from the site, and upon my return I swear I saw tumbleweeds float past my screen. I was surprised how dead it was. Not even any new photos in the lifted vans post. It's great we have a lot of new folks with new ideas and points of view. But where the hell did everyone else go?

And on a side note, we really need to share more info on lift parts because the old sources (source) is pretty much defunct. I'm really looking forward to what Loopie will have for us. :poke: I'm gonna take a good look at the barcode on my 4" HD spring pack soon to see if I can decifer any info from it before it's gone. I know for a fact my spindles can be purchased everywhere for half what I paid for them.

I know a bunch of people with Astros. Maybe I can get at least one of them to join the forum.

I'm new here myself, but it seems like this is the place to be. I was a member of the other site, but I didn't like it very much over there, so I found this one and joined.
