That would be the end of this forum for me, I won't pay for anything on the internet. FABO has Gold membership for people who want to pay, my ad blocker works just fine without paying anyone. I won't use Moparts on my phone, only my laptop, I don't have a need to stay connected while away from home... wave

Same guy almost got me for $345 for a set of pistons, wanted me to send the money family and friends on PayPal. I sent the money as a product or service, he went hyper telling me I couldn’t follow directions. But that method, g&s will get your money refunded the f&f wont. I got the money back pronto. Same MO, one guy says he has a friend who has what you need at so and so e-mail and to contact him. Lloyd Whitney, scum

I've seen enough of his posts and gotten enough PM's to know the only thing he is interested in is being the biggest antagonist possible.

Take your pic of any of the social media sites as the answer. IMO they are the cesspool of the world. Like ebay killed swap meets social media has all but killed message boards

Because you can use an ad blocker and never see infolinks. I use Firefox with Adblocker Ultimate, both free, and never see infolinks.

Infolinks kills the mobile browsing experience which is outdated among it's peers.

From my perspective much of the traffic on a few of the forums is created by 10 or less posters. When most of them left I actually felt good for them because it seemed excessive...as in 20+ hours a day.

At least the political forum ( which I have never clicked on) is based on real life and not make believe like some the stuff previously going on here that seemed to inundate every thread with nonsense.

Then there are the perpetual bucks down whiner/victims of life that pander for a anonymous sympothy...on a car website. And then there is the act of copying what we all see in the news and reposting it here. Yes, we all know so and so died. Again, nothing to do with cars lol. If that's what people like I'm cool with that but do not care to participate.

The race car/ engine section is still good because of quite a few guys however there are the friendly trolls that neither race nor car nor engine. These are the guys thst still copy and paste the six pack tuning guide from the 70's DC bible that is regurgitated all over the internet ( and missing the nextk most important paragraph).

Lastly we have the power adder trolls that will negate any accomplishment that was not achieved N/A. Those numbers are waning however it sounds even dumber that it did 10 years ago. Bud Faubel had a TT hemi in '64...get over it. If you have never grabbed a nitrous kit then best to put that tongue in park until you have direct experience.

Overall Ithink some folks come online for "social media" and the rest of us are looking for or to share technical info with those of similar interest. Multiple forums save us from each other for the most part! : D

People for whatever reason don't maybe mobile device just a shame losing good knowledgeable members to infolinks.
$10 or 20/year won't bankrupt anyone

I am sad that many of the former members who shared knowledge and wrote with good humor have left because of a switch to higher paying advertising.

When the popup problems began I found I could use past knowledge to make them go away on Windows, Android and Linux,
but I was ignorant about Apple iOS and the fairly new to me iPad.
It took more than a week and maybe 10 hours of trying iOS browsers to find one that was effective.
Even so, about once a month I have to click the “Opt Out” link to make popup windows that are totally empty not popup.

I spent years meeting a weekly payroll for 800 employee,
plus monthly parts bills, medical bills, taxes, loan interest payments (some at Vocker 19.75%) and so forth.

I know the stress and trade offs.

In a severe past pinch I have done worse that accept annoying pop up $

But I am still sad that so many still living former members have left.

The members who have died have also left a hole where daily wisdom used to be.

Who knows exactly why many left or choose not to participant. I do remember when Moparts was thriving and it was exciting knowing that so many were there to help out. Most got along with each. Now it appears there are a few that will chime in but nothing like in the past. It felt like a Mopar community with things like secret santa, etc. Now it feels like a empty place I can go to in hopes that someone may be chime in if lucky. Sad to say, I don`t think that will ever return.

If you're seeing ads here you're seeing ads everywhere and they can be much more than annoying! I work at a place that has literally thousands of PCs. Our IT department URGES all of us to use an adblocker tool. I use Chrome w/Adblock Plus on ALL my machines. It works well and is free.
I seriously don't know how anyone surfs the web without an adblocker. I tried watching a youtube clip with a friend and ads kept popping up. I was like WTH is that? I never see any of that crap on any site.

I also don't do mobile browsing(especially here) but have heard the mobile version of Adblock Plus works OK.

The difference between watching YouTube on my PC compared to with my ROKU is almost shocking. I'm not aware of any ad blocker for Roku, so I get ALL the ads and as of late, a majority of them won't allow you to skip over the ads..

It's crazy how much pushback and hate I get from boomers over this. Not to mention the ones that claim "You'll burn up your motor on nitous!" and "stock 440 block is only good for 650 hp!"

Guys bragging about their high compression, stripped out, 4.56 geared, fiberglassed car 60 ft. times yet here we are faster in our street car that we drive everywhere on pump gas with mufflers and get ice cream!


'63 Dodge 330

11.19 @ 121 mph
Pump gas, n/a, through the mufflers on street tires with 3.54's. 3,600 lbs.

9.92 @ 135mph with a 350 shot of nitrous and 93 octane pump. 1.43 60 ft. 3,750 lbs.
