I dropped out for a while because I didn't have as much free time as I used to , I still don't ...
Now I am just running up my post count .... I'm in the same boat... dropped out for years due to life demands, but now find myself occasionally stopping in again. Good to see some of the same people hanging around that helped me so much 10-20 years ago. You, JohnRR, being one of them!

Visit several times a day, and I'm not even what you would call a Mopar guy. Good information is worth more than gold, no matter where you get it.

This website is well known for not getting responses out of people. You take your time to reply, possibly Google something for them, or post a link at you hear nothing back from them on the post. I don’t expect someone to kiss my butt but possibly a reply with some dog gone feedback would help the next guy

I visit here most every day.
I have a good ad blocker.
I find the site pretty much unusable when I try to use it with my iPad.
I only visit this site with my IPad and have zero pop ups
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

Absolutely. I have suggested many times that people need to respond with thanks to those that helped along with a report of how it all turned out. Some people are just parasites in this world....they only take from others, they never thank people for their contributions. They ask for help, many people chime in and the OP disappears as if he owed us all money. I don't think that most people are that way but enough are to discourage some people from helping in the future.

I agree. I'm not God's gift to Mopars but sometimes it's hard not to adopt a "why should I even bother" attitude when someone asks a question.

Yep a little courtesy goes a long way. There is actually a post started on May 9th that is exactly like I posted about in the race section right now. He posted twice on May 9th and disappeared. I’m done with trying to help.

Another version of this I came across on another site was someone who went into great detail showing how they come up with their own solution to a problem (when stock parts weren't available) and they listed NO information regarding part numbers or where they bought the part(s). In my instance, I PM'ed the person, and he simply answered 'online'. WHERE? He snapped back that he got it on Amazon, its not hard to find. Well, I reached out to him because I couldn't find it (and still haven't). What the frig is the big secret?? I guess they want me to have to hunt like they did.

Agree on the other sites there a couple guys that have a response for every thread. They are probably good guys with waaaaaay too much time on their hands.
