Anyone have a problem with me doing this?

Great idea, Ryan. I lurk all over this place daily and my interests are so varied that I'm afraid I might miss something. SIMPLICITY IS THE ESSENCE OF DESIGN!

I think its been a massive mistake to divide up the HAMB at all. There was nothing wrong with the way it was- there just needed to be more moderators to weed out the OT stuff.

All the new forums have members scratching their heads & lost in what the HAMB "is" now. Strictly trad only, except for trad styled- as long as it meets a vague description that seems to be widely varied at any given time.

 

I have to totally agree. I still spend most of my time in the general forum so I can see a bit of everything but I LOVE the ability to go to the custom forum and quickly see the stuff that interests me the most without having to scroll through pages and pages of posts.

Customizing, it`s at the root of this obsession. Sometimes it gets good reviews, sometimes ...not so much. I am liking the current configuration but always open to a newer version.

 

I know what you mean. I have always been a huge fan of the early 60's custom look, and I always will. This forum is the best place to find well executed examples of this style. I am also a fabrication junkie and some of the most impressive suspension upgrades and chassis set ups I have ever seen have been showcased here and now seem to be weeded out even though they would seem to fit perfectly in the traditionally styled forum. I miss the old hamb but I do understand the reasoning behind the recent forum changes. I look forward to the next round of changes here.

Not true, unless you missed the fact that the traditional styled forum exists.

The "traditional styled" forum was created for cars that are not 100 percent traditional built. Look traditional but have upgrades. T5s, overdrive, disc brakes..keeps them out of the 100 percent traditional hot rod and custom forums which keeps them from getting diluted. Lets the HAMB grow without compromising the complely traditional subforums. The boss made the forum, not me, and I think it is a great way to make a place for guys like me who love the style of old cars but not the underpinnings. Overall win win IMO, my only request was some leniancy on the hidden upgrades.

I am not looking to start any trouble, I like the forum and am hoping to be able to continue to do build threads and participate with the group. Standing on the sidelines gets old quick!

 

Your changes will work quit well.

THANKS for asking -------- go for it

 

Continuous improvement is what it's all about Ryan...go for it.

 

Ryan.

Thanks for asking. I believe that the inclusion of a "Traditionally Styled" forum has been a welcome enhancement, I for one would like to see it continue.

 

Ryan,

Your idea is my ideal.

Thanks for your efforts.

I really like the traditionally styled forum and like the split of the other forums makes it a lot easier to follow threads I think this version works very well it could be worse take a look at the PY forum

 

I like the idea....

 

Are you having doubts about this format?

Computers and message boards are NOT traditional either Ryan. I'm just sayin'.

 

Sure sounds good. Now let me post my hemi fiberglass build.

 

I'm down as long as traditionally "styled" vehicles find a home somewhere. And even if I disagreed, Hell, you know what you're doing.

 

Are we there yet?

I have ta go to the baffroom.

Suzy keeps touching me.

I'm cold.

I'm hungry.

I'm feel sick.

My butt itches.

 

Rickybop's butt itches...too much information

 

Simpler and easier is always better. Go for it Ryan.

 

That did it! I'm going over to KillBillet...

 

All ass kissing aside ,this is the reason this forum stays relevant and exciting. The guy behind the wheel actually gives a shit about the members.

"Thanks for your patience folks. I'm using all the brain I have... and that ain't much!"

That's what I smelled burning!

 

I don't have a problem with any of this but I have to admit some of it seems a bit more than I can get my old fart feeble mind around but as long as I can get the info I have always come to enjoy from this site, I'm happy...well maybe deranges is a better description.

One note on the basic rules. I understand them and I also understand my ride does not fit the profile. I've got no problem with that. Bottom line there is too much great info here not to be a part of it. I've built old and although I am building "new-tech/old", I can still remember tapping in my first king pin in my A coupe and prying out my first set of valve guide keepers on my '41 Flatty.

PARTY ON!!
