Done. I asked him to come here and say hi when he gets a chance.

I think that this tiny forum has sent more ecards than all of GD.com. That is truly sad IMO.

well i don't think gd is what it used to be and dunebuggy.com used to be a real good forum too but it declined before it died

That is why we hang here

Ya,I guess I am a bit grumpy today ,as usual.  .  WHat really pisses me off though is that out of the supposed 40,000+ members of GD.com very few even responded to the post .

My guess is they have not cleaned out the member database in years?  Every now and again I will do that here, remove accounts older than two years inactive, etc.  Last time I checked their traffic it was falling, but most buggy / off road sites have done so after the recession.  Well, except RZR sites - that shit is like gold...... until the class action, consent decree, next big thing.

And you thought I was just the resident smart ass?

now i am not saying that utv's don't have there place like for running grease guns to tractors or running a small bag of feed and such cause you know utv! lol but they do look like fun and after watching doug roll over those dunes at LS that rzr 1000 was capable but when i drove it.... just not as stable as i am used to and i can see how they get rolled and flipped. just not for me i guess

I not really bagging on GD but if a person pays attention they will see a core of posters not much bigger than we have here. I really have to laugh at the mods there though. I have,over the last few years ,had them say they visited this site. They all said this site is over moderated.  Has anyone noticed the heavy handed moderating going on over there now?  Hypocrits!

I'd bet the active membership @GD is under 50 people.

Cool ,Pat!

i honestly don't know where or how anyone could get that impression! not even in the slightest bit

[dsrace]

really can't say i have frequented gd like i did dunebuggy.com and have been on the samba and shop talk for buggies but they are more vw based

[fabr]

Gd is the freak show of buggy sites in many ways. About 25% of the members are level headed people I woud like around my camp fire,the other 75% are a bit out there to say the least. Most there would not be in my circle of friends. Remember LS this year when I was a bit not interested in talking buggy talk with the guy that pulled in next to your slot ds? Snap judgement made. Maybe I was wrong but he fit in that 75% of those I don't really have any desire to rub elbows with. Full of shit and glad to show it.

[WelderPat]

Overmoderated?
As far as I know there is only one rule.
"Dont be an ass"
That seems to work pretty good.

It seems like here we do not look down on others just because we have a differing opinion.
