A Forum's Personality

[John Jensen]

This forum has been primarily activity by new members and little or no activity by existing members.
The other 16 Ram and Alfa forums I follow the activity is primarily by existing members.
It's just an observation that makes me wonder why.

John, 1500diesel.xxx is not even close to the membership they claim, You cannot delete your membership completely. Plus it's the same handful of members that do about 50% of the commenting.... Some of the mods attack anyone who post the facts about VM ...Its a honor to be banned. I also look forward to how God will preside over what happened to Shawn (Mopar Ecodiesel) he was a leader in promoting VM 3.0 short comings and how was he treated by the Mods at 1500diesel.xxx,, Call a liar By 97hmcs +... 1/2 Diesel owners in most cases are NOT seasoned Diesel enthusiast. and just fooled by marketing.... there are 1000s of VM 3.0s just sitting because owners can't afford the $15K+ , Some traded at a loss and now have years of additional payments , some just won't spent the $ just to repalce with same risk. Thier are good Members at 1500diesel.xxx, but 1500deisel.xxx only has 1 good mod Crash68...

Look who's doing the majority of commenting. Whatever happen to Verndiesel? he has not commented in over 2.5 months.

I am pretty new to the forum but have a couple thoughts. I love my diesel Ram. Some people just get burned out because they spend so much time of them. Some people quit because there are too many internet geru's that have no idea what they are talking about. Some people quit because so many people repeat the same answer just and balloon their post count to look smart.
That's why I can loose interest in a site.
I would enjoy if there was a EcoDiesel site/forum where you had people that are really good at their craft but knew when to not bloat their post count just for the sake of the count and looking smart.
Speed Talk forum used to be that way, they had very smart people helping people that really asked genuine questions. Now it's not too bad but since some many of the greats have died it has shifted some.
I am on one very popular Facebook ED group that is not too bad but the site admin is a my way is always right and the only way to do things. He wouldn't let me on one of his other forums that I really like a lot because I don't have enough post counts in general on other Facebook groups auto related or not.
I also agree with TC on the arrogance of site admins that have people with different perspectives that may not be popular so the ban them. this is site socialism at its best. Differences are what made America great.
Just my thoughts.
