    Yeah, "rat rodding" is mainstream. Has been for the past four years... I've never built a rat rod, so that's not really my thing nor is it the HAMB's thing.

    Look, we are big - there is no doubt about that. We get more traffic per day than most magazines sell units - they can't compete with our tech or our coverage. Does that make us suck? Look at the friggin' main index - where are all these OT posts you guys speak of? I just don't see them. I see bitching for bitchings sake... I've worked my ass off to ensure this place is commercial free and as ON TOPIC as possible. I get real annoyed when people bitch without trying to do their part to help (not saying Sam doesn't).

    If you guys see REAL problems, I'm all ears man. Email me.

    Jim, I've tried with you too many times. I don't really care anymore. Whatever holmes... I hope you find whatever it is you are looking for somewhere else.
     
  2. i have to jump in this. I think this whole thread sucks Jim I consider you to be a decent guy.this post is not your banner moment.Everyone that posted support for Jim I commend you .everyone has there personal defects of characture and feeling part of your social group is crucial for us as humans. kicking a guy when he is at a emotional bottom is the worst display i can think of. its discusting!!! I hope to see you back and you are always welcome at my garage Jim

    Thanks buddy- now even my friends gotta kick me in the teeth. How can I miss that!

    Didn't mean to kick you in the teeth... just trying to bust a joke to break all this seriousness up.

    You know, like when you were kids and your buddy crashed his BMX bike on a big jump... he's laying in the hospital and someone says "well, at least your bike is ok." [​IMG]

    True story.

    Why would you have to make a big fucking fuss about leaving an Internet message board in the first place?? Good posts get drowned in shit like this, who really cares....I visit the HAMB daily, get ideas/inspiration and a laugh, but this shit isnt needed. If you wanna 'leave', you can do it without making a bitch fight. Im hopefully starting my model A RPU hiboy next year, and I hope i can get some tech, and hope i dont have to read pure horse shit like this.
    But then again, im just a stupid kid, What do i know [​IMG]
    Heres somethin to make this post a little more on topic

    I have to wonder how this would all play out in the battleground of face to face reality. It is easy to nitpick and badmouth from behind a keyboard and we do have a few keyboard bad asses. I hate to see dissent and I respect Ryan for his M.O.
    If "rat rods" Have become mainstream then we can blame ourselves for thinking no car is exempt from flat black and red wheels.
    I don't even know how I stumbled in here but I love this place for the most part. I have been a gear head all my life and wrenched on everything from lawnmowers to 657 Cat scrapers. My scope of interest isn't really this narrow. A 63 1/2 427 Galaxy will turn my crank every bit as much as a well done deuce coupe. I have always wanted a no frills rod and thanks to the HAMB it is now at the top of my list. I read in a magazine once, maybe 20 years ago, that a true hotrod is an as found roadster body with a bigassed V8, poor brakes and wobbly steering that will scare the shit out of you every time you mash the gas pedal. Safety issues aside I have always kind of clung to that.
    Us old farts have to remember we have fostered a whole generation of basically disrespectful and unaccountable people so we have only ourselves to blame when these young "newbys" spout disrespectful drivel. That doesn't mean we have to put up with the crap and that is what makes this place so popular. Go look at some of the other "Old School" rod sites and you will see post a week old still on the front page so if you are tired of your posts disappearing here in a matter of hours then post over there. We are what we are and to be part of it you have to take the good, the bad and the ugly that comes with it. And be able to call bullshit when you see it, but be ready to take the heat that comes from opposing views.

    Especially if the person said they were leaving, causing all this "drama", yet kept coming back over and over and over. [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Nicely said Pete.

    I'll close with this - if you don't like the HAMB and you don't like where we are taking it - LEAVE! I don't really want to pay for bandwidth that is not appreciated.

    We have been focused on traditional hot rods for almost ten years now. We were here before any fad was started and we will be here long after. Because of that, I don't really worry too much about doubters - people come and go... The HAMB has been here and will be here.
