Is moparts no more?

You had sex with one of those too?

Fixed.

I have over 3000 posts there but have not posted anything in quite a long time, ever since I discovered FBBO!

 

[Richard Cranium]

I've got a whopping 33 posts since 2010. The only use I have for that website is to scan the B-body classifieds section & there hasn't been much of interest to me there quite a long time.

Extended time out. About ten years. Tom won’t say why. I have NO idea.

You are simply to straight up and politically incorrect for them Brother!
I can understand what Tom was trying to do, create a PURE car stuff ONLY site, however, there are simply too many differing opinions about EVERYTHING....including cars and everything about them, to not get into pissing contests over stuff. i saw butt hurt over stuff that did not even warrant the time of day over there and one or both of the parties given "vacations". Life is too short to be so up-tight.

I gave my self a vacation....I got bored. I just go back once and a while to see the race section and whos building what. It would always come up right away but the last few times I could not find it.....no great loss

I used to really like moparts and still have some friends over there but now I mostly just peruse the parts for sale.
It has become too difficult to use. That info links pop up garbage is super annoying and if you ask about it they threaten to lock up the thread!
Also, posting pics is a major undertaking. Its a nice site but I dont use it much anymore as its too much a pain in the ***......

I was a member over on Moparts for about twelve years, I was pretty active & had over 35K posts.... Mostly technical helping people with their cars... (Kinda like here) Some posts trying to have fun & inject my weird sense of humor... (kinda like here)

I last logged on to Moparts in May of 2013... Soon after the Tornado tore up Moore Ok & the surrounding area.... There were allot of posts by people concerned about members in the area... I totally get it & I agreed with the concern...

Then someone posted that he loves all of us & wanted us to all know it...
That's nice..... I saw it as an opportunity to try to inject some humor....

A few weeks before someone had posted a Meme of a Simpson's character pointing & saying "Your a Homo" I had saved the picture, it stayed in place for days on Moparts, not removed, so had had no clue it had pissed off Tom....

Whatever, I posted it... Next day I go to log on & receive a one word message "BANNED" I figure there's gotta be some mistake, heck I didn't even make the connection... The Meme ran for 3-4 days the last time it was posted....

Since I had no way to contact any Mods, (PM's don't work when your banned) I emailed Tom asking if there had been a mistake... Got a one word reply.. "BANNED" no explanation just "BANNED" I emailed back asking why... Another one word reply "HOMO"......

I emailed a former member there Steve. AKA 68HemiBee and he messaged a moderator....

A few days later I received a message letting me know the ban had been lifted..

I logged on on last time & posted a goodbye thread....

Haven't been back & I won't go back... If after twelve years I don't deserve more respect than one word replies from Tom than I see no reason to help him make his website successful...

I remember you. I went under my own name and the name I am using here. I joined in 2000 and had many posts until they updated the server in '06? then many more. I received a few vacations and in strictly looking at their guidelines they were probably deserved. I made the mistake of disagreeing with a moderator and I was banned for no reason I could see other than I wouldn't kiss *** on some utterly worthless members that lived on the board. So I haven't gone back in many years and don't feel the need. I have used their tech archives though. I hear through the grapevine that midpenmopar and others I met in person have passed. Sad.....

Stu was a great guy, unfortunately the big C got him.... He lived about 75 miles from me so I joined him for a few of his events & he brought some friends & joined us for a drive a couple times...

I don't remember posting under the name sloinker but I probably would under your actual name.... The big reset was in 03 I think...

I have been a member for close to 20 years. I still post some but not as much as I used to. No real reason for it other then many of my family and friends post on Facebook so I check there more now and just don't have the time to post many other places. Just like here I like to post but don't get to post as much as I would like to. Its as was said as I take all boards with a grain of salt. Some seem to have an attitude before they even talk and most are nice and helpful. I just ignor or don't post on the ones I don't care for on any board. Ron

 

[biomedtechguy]

I have had some good interactions there, and one very bad piece of advice, or actually 2 posts by one member

I don’t think that’s a fair assessment on the bad advice. You had numerous people tell you it wouldn't fit. Then comes a guy with a friend who had one that supposedly worked 30+ years ago. You chose to follow that 1 individuals advice and ignore the consensus of several knowledgeable people.

"Fairness" doesn't even come into the equation.
I didn't say "Moparts forum gave me bad advice" or "I've gotten some bad advice there"
I specifically said one member wrote 2 posts, the second confirming the first, after I rephrased my question to make sure he was clear on what I was asking.
That's accurate. Fairness, unfair or any other emotion shouldn't have anything to do with what I posted here, and quoted above.
Yes, I clung to the one guy's answer as it was what I was hoping to hear, and that was a mistake.

I remember that situation and your last post. Your banning was incredibly perplexing. I never understood it.

I, too, used to post quite a bit but haven't been on Moparts for several years.

 

[rumblefish360]

Been banned there for reasons I have never been given.
1st time was for listing an EBay ad for a person looking for a part. Second time was the last. No idea why.

I didn’t hand out anything negative. Perhaps correcting people is bad?

 

[moparmarks]

Funny I know most of you guys from Moparts. I too have been there since before the reset of 02. Was a real cool site but Tom has ran it into the ground. I'm still on there and have Adblocker on my computer. Don't use my phone on there. I'm on here and FABO much more now days. Joey's memberships are growing while Tom's are getting smaller.
I met Tom at Carlisle and all I'll say is I wasn't impressed.

 

[biomedtechguy]

That info links pop up garbage is super annoying

Try that with the tiny print and a smartphone! In order to be able to read a post reasonably well I have to turn my phone sideways, but then that banner covers over half the page. The X to close it doesn't always work, and sometimes brings me to the ad.
Either I don't know how to fix that for that site, or it's not fixable. Miserable to view on a phone.

Were you standing at a group urinal ?

 

[moparmarks]

U funny guy.
Is that real? A group urinal? Wait I don't want to know.
