Observation of other forums

[Orange97GTVert]

I have enjoyed being a member of MustangWorks for just over a year now and I have been a lurker on a couple of other forums as well but never felt compelled to join. MustangWorks is a great forum, it has members who actually drive Mustangs and are interested in Mustangs. I hate it that it appears we lost a lot of readers with the loss of SmackHouse but there are plenty of people left here with knowlege and insight into the world of Mustangs.

Other forums tend to flame each other personally and make fun of newbies like they have no place on their forum. Why would anyone want to join and be a part of that? I never felt that, not even at the beginning. I was welcomed and have always felt that my input was appreciated. On other forums there seems to be plenty of people who don't even own Mustangs, they just jumped on for the porn.

I have been a Mustang lover longer than some of you have been alive, and I always try to give good advice, and if technical, I look it up so I don't give out incorrect information. I have also learned a lot from this forum about Mustangs.

Maybe there are not as many old timers left since Smack House went away, but there are still quality posts every day. I have made a couple of friends that I talk to on AIM from this forum. I like to see we are getting newbies every week, encourage them to become active and keep MustangWorks the best Mustang forum on the net.
