I just noticed that we are getting close to 100,000 posts, as of right now 99,819. I also just noticed that I've produced 9% of them at 9023. If I had been more active this year it would probably be closer to 10%, lol. With so much activity on the forum (at any given moment 50-60 people online) I'm glad that everyone still finds this forum useful in the Facebook age.

Yes.. I am glad myself to see it still active. FB killed a lot of forums for sure.

| I use both. The FB group is much more active than the forum. The main problem with the FB group is that it's very linear, so the same questions get asked over and over. |

Big fan of the forum, will never be a Facebook participant, so makes it more important to folks like me. Heads and shoulders above other forums. KUDOS ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

I agree with the anti-FB members. I'm not sure it matters anymore since everyone shares data with each other and any computer related company, like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Equifax, and a million others know more about us than our mommas ever did. But Facebook really seems to exist to destroy personal privacy. This forum has it's minor imperfections, sure, but it's a great place for the purpose. TT ------------- 2010 176 FJ Cruiser |

To Doug, or shall I say Mr. Techntrek. We know you would have a lot more people posting if you would update your picture. All of your older pics, starting with the stone wheel, were fantastic. So don't keep us in suspense any longer, we want an updated picture of you, and not standing next to that stone wheel ! ------------- God's pod '11 model 177 '17 Ford F-150 4WD 3.5 Ecoboost Jim and Diane by beautiful Torch Lake "...and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." |

I'm guilty of the FB side for the last 1-1/2 to 2 years. Trying to go on a FB diet now as I am tired of the intrusiveness and negativity it also brings. Not the Rpod group but the rest of it. ------------- Joe & Terri 2015 179 2015 Ram 1500 crew cab/ eco diesel 2005 Ram 1500/ Tekonsha Controller Lovestarved Pom/Demanding Chihuahua |

How does one post a pic to a profile? ------------- Joe & Terri 2015 179 2015 Ram 1500 crew cab/ eco diesel 2005 Ram 1500/ Tekonsha Controller Lovestarved Pom/Demanding Chihuahua |

I actually had a pic taken especially to satisfy your request - summer a year ago. At this point it would be easier to get a new one than to track that one down. Keep reminding me - it is hard to move out of the stone age. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Do you mean in your signature? You need to have the pic hosted somewhere else since new pic uploads aren't allowed. Then you need to know the URL to access that pic - the various photo hosting sites all make it easy to get it. Then you need to modify your signature in your profile using BBCode to link to the picture. For instance this is the link in my signature which shows my sig pic (note that the curly brackets should be square brackets but I had to change them so this doesn't insert the actual picture here): {IMG}http://www.rpod-owners.com/uploads/217/rpodandsuburban2.jpg{/IMG} ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Really glad to hear that the Forum continues to do so well. We lurk on the FB group but as previously mentioned it's pretty linear. Great for seening interior decorating, campsites and cinnamon buns....but if you want to know the right way to fix something....here is the spot to be! ------------- Bob&Margaret 2017 179 2016 Toyota 4Runner 2 sets of Golf Clubs |
