Brad said he needed a few good men, but he got me instead.

We have a great opportunity to craft a new forum for ourselves with a clean slate approach. My goal here would be to have good natured, tech-heavy content. I say tech-heavy because I think there are plenty of arenas to verbally duke it out, or have a buddy-buddy chat. Naturally, as we make friends, things can and often do take a conversational tone, but as long as the subject remains based around the classsic Mustang hobby, I would not consider it a problem. I have frequented various Classic Mustang forums over the years, and it has been my experience that the best moderators diffuse things that get out of hand, but also allow us to police ourselves. It is this community standard that I believe will make this a fun and informative place to be, not a heavy handed moderator.

Most likely, unless someone is an obvious forum troll, or just decides they have to smack each other around in this forum, you won't even know I'm here in a moderator capacity. I'll just be posting up whatever I know (or don't know) and having fun with the rest of you.

Now, here's a dancing banana.

Heh, I consider that high praise Mberglo.

Evil_Capri, funny you should ask. It's on the front page of the paper today. Cowtown (Fort Worth) just made it to the 20th largest city in the U.S. with a larger poplulation than Boston, Seatle, or Washington D.C. (I need to get brad to add a TX flag to the smilie list)

LMan, thanks! And sure it was his fault... :hiding:

Well, you don't need a fiddle in the band, but it helps.

LMAO, I wouldn't necessarily call a pic of my face taped to a football and being molested in effigy by monkeys compromising.






On second thought, maybe I would.
