This board has died
 

What happened? In the past year or two this thing has become a ghost of itself??????

Maybe all the folks ran out of things to say?

You can always start a new thread. I think some people didn't find their way back after the change when everyone was permanently banned.

I think it may have something to do with certain members who like to attack anyone who comes on here looking for help or suggestions. Sarcastic responses by those who enjoy feeling superior to someone....:roll2:

Stuff like that!

I guess a few more people who are less offensive and more helpful would be a start.....:o

And some like sunshine blown up their skirt rather than the cold hard truth......:roll:

I am guessing you prefer the sunshine and pretty sunsets.....

Well now that you mention it, it sure sounds better than the 10 inches of snow and 22 degrees up here lately. It's getting slick out there driver c'mon.

You can keep that snow !!!!!

Snow is a four letter word to me....:lol:

I agree with GMAN. We have lost some members when the "change over" began. Shoot, it took me forever to get back. (with the help from Snowman, and mike3fan) Some have come back, and there are some I'm sure that gave up. It would be nice to have everyone back.
It seems like the forum is slower than usual, but I wouldn't say it has died.

Speaking of getting back in!!!
First post under new name!
Would like old one restored (freebird) if possible, any help out there???? :confused:

Fire off a PM to Scoe - he should be able to accommodate you.

As far as the board is concerned - all the trucking boards are slow right now. It happens from time to time. The fact that there was a major board shift at the same time it happened didn't help, but it certainly didn't cause it.

The board will pick up again. You can help by starting good threads. That is one thing I love about CAD. Even when it is slow, there are still great threads about the industry. Some of the other "trucking" boards have become nothing but politics, even though the election is almost a month passed.:thumbsdown:

Most boards have times when things slow a bit. CAD went through another very slow period about a year ago, as I recall. I think that in this case it is mostly due to the change over. You can always invite people to come over and visit.

Now, Big D, I never mentioned your name. After all, you've never picked on me!:lol:

:eek2:

:lol::D:lol:

But, now, your turn is coming... isn't it??????:D

Maybe..... Maybe not......:D

yea i had to start under a new name till twilight flyer reset my old handle

With my luck this week, I wouldn't doubt it...:roll3:

I wouldn't say the board has died. I noticed a reduction in posts before the change-over. But, I would expect it to pick back up over a period of time. In visiting other boards, I don't see much activity there either. Some of the sites that had boards don't anymore, so the fact that this one is still going would suggest that it's still in the running.

I blame it on the search button. a lot of the stuff that new drivers would come on and talk about has been talked about over and over. no need to start a thread when you can go back and read the old ones and get every answer you ever wanted (or didn't want)

I think CAD needs to run a promotion. refer a friend and get one month free... wait, it is free. oh well

CAD could always offer a free bottle of (REV's) Dr Pepper to the poster with the most SIGNIFICANT posts in a month.:clap::lol2::clap::lol2::thumbsup:

I would win that award every month, hands down.

I dunno Rev. Have you taken into consideration Golfhobo, and the SIGNIFICANCE of his long, windy and well thought out posts? :bigthumbsdown:

And modest, too!:lol:

There never has been any significance to Golfhoblowhards posts..... He just likes to hear the sound of his own voice.....:lol2:

Yeah, maybe. If you stay away from misquoting regs! Best I can tell.... a driver who transports MIGRANT WORKERS cannot have a BAC of more than .04 while driving his POV (even if he's had 8 hours in the sleeper!) :lol::rofl:

Oh, and there IS a point or significance to most of YOUR posts? Like anyone CARES about your fascination with Trukrswyfe! :roll2::hellno:

:lol::lol:

Who?:confused:

DON'T SAY IT THREE TIMES!!! (like Beetlejuice!) :rofl::D

Rev said:
Actually, I always stand on my head when I read this board.

Golfhoblowhard must be drunk as usual today......:roll:

I'm not. But, if I WERE, at least I wouldn't be "going through life" Fat and Stupid like you must be.

I don't know about the fat part, but... based on your login, and what I know of Many O/O's you probably ARE.

Stupid is a given.

It seems that you are taking advantage of the current "lull" in moderation on the board to return to your attacks on me, BigD. Go ahead, if you want. You know where it ended last time.

You really should stay out of intellectual fights when you are so unarmed! In fact... let's test you. Do YOU have an answer to why western snow is dryer than eastern snow? You live and drive in the West. You should know the answer. Maybe not. There's no evidence that I know of that you have EVER driven in the East.

Didn't it end with you getting put into "time out" and the entire board being changed over to a new format?:confused:

Thanks, Bel! I really appreciate you dragging me into this thread so BigWheezy could attack me out of the blue. If you don't like my posts, you can put me on IGGY, too. No one is forcing you to read them. I don't really CARE if they are significant. I'm not running for any awards here, and I'm not kissing any AZZ.

BTW... it's YOUR turn to drive! Get in the driver's seat and DRIVE! We've got places to go, and women to ....um....er.... TALK to! :lol2:

Ah, yes... it is MY fault they had to restructure the board! :lol:

I won't discuss the rest of it, because it doesn't really matter. (read: I just deleted an entire paragraph.) Suffice it to say, if you want to get into a pizzing match with me, you better have a full bladder! ;)

BTW.... are we back to the point where you are answering posts directed at another member of the board? Someone very "close" to you? :lol2:

Or are you just getting your "digs" in now, because after tomorrow you will have to be more "diplomatic?" No problem. I'm game. I guess after tomorrow, I will have to give you the artificial respect you think you deserve (like I did for Twilight.) Should make things very interesting for awhile. A very SHORT while. Then, I guess, we'll see what happens.

Apparently, my long and windy posts are not appreciated here anyways, so what the heck. I'm sure CAD will survive without them. I have other outlets.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that. I do, however, place full blame on those who chose to leave squarely at your feet.:thumbsup:

Please tell me you're kidding.

Who would that be? That guy who I never even realized was another banned poster until you pointed it out to me? Or perhaps the guy who I've sent a grand total of about 5 PM's in my entire time on this board?

As I've told you countless times before, if you are directing something at someone specifically, and don't want others to respond, then take it to PM where nobody else can respond. Otherwise, everything you post is fair game.

Hell no. Expect the same great Rev taste with a spiffy new package.

I deserve everything I get and then some, dammit!

I find them very humorous......as I quickly skim over them. Then again, I'm a fan of the "less is more" crowd. Why say what can be said in a few short sentences with a long winded post with lots of CAPITALIZED words randomly thrown in?:confused:

Well..... last time you were put in the penalty box...... :thumbsup:

As for your snow query..... I hate all snow... whether it is eastern, western, southern, northern, backwards, or upside down..... And no we do not go east of the big river either.... any other asinine statements ???:roll:

Surely you are not talking about those who didn't return after the software changeover. If you refer to any members who LEFT before that, as a result of MY posts, NAME THEM. Are you talking ONLY about Fozzy? I hate that he left. I never intended any harm to him. I am glad to see that he is back. You might not believe the number of PM's I've received from people complaining about YOU. But, I would not have mentioned that on the open forum. If my posts or presence here has been THAT detrimental to the board, give me proof and I will retire!

Nope. I think I can hold my own in a pizzing match with any of you. If I step over the line, that just shows the extent to which I will go. I don't "live" for confrontation to that extent. I like debate. But, I am not afraid to get dirty. When someone changes my login to imply I'm a HOMO, they better be ready for a fight. And, IIRC, that's where that whole thing started.

I'm not referring to anyone in particular, especially the guy you've sent 5 MORE PM's to than I ever have. I am referring to the fact that I was NOT addressing YOU, yet YOU responded. Both YOU and Double R have made comments before about ME answering questions directed at someone else. I took your objections to heart, and have tried to avoid doing so since then. It seems YOU still feel you are so entitled.

Pot meet Kettle. I have no problem with ad hoc responses. It was YOU who first complained about me answering questions that weren't directed at me. Seems you want your cake and to eat it, too.

And a spiffy tricked out nametag, too? (obscure reference to a commercial.)

I couldn't agree more! :pissedoff::moon::hellno::lol2:

You are one to cry about capitalization. I have never posted one such as YOUR screaming tirade in caps! But, that aside, I don't really care whether or not you like my posting style. I don't remember having to ask your permission to utilize it. And I don't care if you "skim over" my posts. that is more than I do for most of yours. (like I CARE about how to cook Chinese in a truck!.... or how to burn one down with a rigged up generator because I'm too cheap to BUY one.)

In fact, if it weren't for your continuous misquoting of the regs, and your incessant need to respond to or criticize every post I make, I might not even know you existed. I don't follow YOU around to every subforum and every thread you post on to rag your azz. That seems to be YOUR gig.

Will that be part and parcel of your responsibilities now as a Mod? Will you ban me for being verbose? Or for speaking my mind? It will be interesting to say the least. I bet you think that you will not change with your new title. You think you are above such trivial influences on your character and mentality. Truth is.... you already HAVE. I'm not saying it is for the worse.

I'm just sayin' ;)

Dude, when's the last time you got laid? I know it's hard when you're middle aged and live with your mom, but you could probably pay for it somewhere, right? :puke:

Hells bells.... I would even donate a dollar for the cause.....:thumbsup:

I'll donate two dollars.

You honestly thought I was serious????:hellno:

Anyone can "step over the line". It takes true skill to "walk the line". Just ask Johnny Cash.

Riiiight.


I am the cake.


It's in the rules. Look it up.

I remember when ironeagle first came back after being banned, and he had my name in his sig line, and how obsessed it made him look.

Nope - I'm the same great asshole I was before.:clap:
