Usually post(ed) over at Fordtruckworld, and I kept hearing aboout 'those guys over on F150Online' so I figured I'd check out 'those guys.' Board looks pretty sweet. I plan to stick around for a long time to come.

 

Welcome. This is a great website! You'll have fun.

 

Well, I don't like talking smack about anyone who hasn't done me any wrong, but I CAN say that there seem to be a LOT more people over here, and thusly, I get more responses quicker. I don't expect people to say "OMG...Kung posted...let's flock to answer his post" but it's nice to know I might be able to say "Hey...need an answer quick" and I'll actually GET it quick.

 

Howdy.

 

Took ya long enough.



Welcome aboard.

 

Welcome aboard! Here's to you!

 

I know that's why I'm in this thread...

 

I still go to FTW periodically, usually just to the Michigan Chapter section. Its always nice to meet up with local people interested in the same things.

 

Hi

 

Hey there Kung. Is your last name "Fu" by any chance? Welcome aboard!

 

Same here

Welcome.

 

If you can stomach appalling grammar and spelling, along with improper word usage (especially the misuse of “then” and “than” and “your” and “you’re”) you should be O.K.
(I see that you can actually write and have a grasp of basic grammar so you are miles ahead of many here).

Some general stuff you should know:

With regard to addressing issues at hand (trucks), you are correct, in that you will get responses fairly quickly, especially if any hint of contention exists between the brethren who can have a rather wide range of opinions. Although it can get ugly sometimes, the group hug afterwards makes it all worthwhile, especially for our gay members.

Usually, the advice / information you pick up here is useful. There are numerous boards dedicated to specific topics, so take a minute to make sure your question is in the appropriate forum. If unsure, post it in “General Discussion”. The mods will move posts as needed.

And speaking of the mods, they are pretty cool here.

And speaking of “general discussion” this is the place where just about anything goes, except when it doesn’t. In other words, keep it PG rated.

Concerning outside topics in GD that you might want to be made aware of:

Politics: The left and right, liberal and conservative, us and them mindset is pretty well entrenched here. If you can, try to avoid political threads as they ultimately resolve nothing and eventually end up getting locked anyway (but not until a good number of people proclaim that Bush is God and anyone not supporting him should be shot, and the others proclaim that Bush is the Devil. (That, by the way, sums up 99 percent of what political threads are about, the other one percent being about the lazy bastards taking advantage of the welfare state and how the person posting worked hard for their money to buy the computer they are typing their screed on).

Cats: Many here hate them, and in a mechanical side note, they are good for preventing detonation. They also make good speed bumps (refer to “Burt”), and the vote in Wisconsin is being viewed with great interest here (along with many waiting to buy planes tickets to Madison).

Guns: Many here have an arsenal. They like to post pictures of it. It usually consists of 200 handguns and rifles or more. Be careful what you say to these people.

Females: We have some female members here. Whenever a new female member comes on board, 10,000 responses of intense leg-humping occur. If you’re female, you might want to keep that to yourself (unless you’re an attention *****). And speaking of females, the inevitable “Hey! Here’s a great idea! Let’s all post pictures of hot chicks!”, post arises from the dead, and eventually gets closed after numerous 12 year-olds keep pushing the envelope of decency. Have fun with it but don’t go overboard.

Welcome To Last Week: If you repost an topic that was posted within . . . let’s say the past month . . . you’re gonna get hit with this one. Use this:





Testosterone: Lately, it’s been running rampant in this forum, a lot of braggadocios posturing about how they beat the crap out of someone which results in others chiming in about their violent exploits and/or how they wish they could be involved in violent exploits. If this is your thing, enjoy; otherwise ignore them for the 12 year olds that they are.

FORD RULES: You can try to ask questions, or make observations about other vehicle makes, and usually they can be accepted and discussed in a civilized manner, but be prepared for the inevitable “Brand X SUCKS!” and “Live by Ford, die by Ford!” comments and mentality.

That pretty much sums up what’s going on around here now. It’s a pretty good bunch of people and you can learn an amazing amount of things here, and not just about F150s. Raoul comes here to learn how to behave in any given social situation, and how to live his life in general . . . it’s THAT informative of a place.

Welcome.

 

What's the problem with that?

Welcome to the best truck forum on the net, Kung.

Everything kobiashi has said is true (maybe a lil harsh and mouthy, but true).

We have a lot of fun here, but we also have a bunch of tree huggin hippies. Oh, here's one.

 

One more word of warning don't mention f-o-g lights or d-r-i-v-i-n-g lights. If you do you will start the ramblings of a certain robert johnson who has a jones for them (or lack there of).

 

Dang I liked the people on this board until reading how single-minded and Neanderthalish we all are.


Pssst....Kung....it ain't that bad....in fact even when we argue/debate....we usually just give up the debate and are joking with each other in another thread minutes later.

Than vs Then....

Heck I know what the mean and still screw it up....grammer ain't no big deal hear...shucks yous dont have too tipe so good for us'en to lyke you. YOUR with pals here even if you're grammer isn't no better then the rest of us.
