I am sure there will be....... and maybe some good humor too (my favorite was the poster someone did of WJ RE "Back to School" after the WJ/ Connolly staging duel last year). I do think a change was needed and disagreements should remain civil. I also expect someone to test the fence and see if the power is on.

How about a 996 GT3 I need to start using my 1320's for other than going to store.

I really believe that some of the drivers and crew chiefs that used to post on the old site will return. If someone is angry about it... blame me. I'm OK with that.
How can this be a bad thing? The DOCTOR is back!

I believe our conversation in Pomona last year about the faceless-nameless cheap shots being thrown around the old Mater by those who were completely unidentifiable were a great reason for such a change. I'm not afraid of standing behind anything I've said despite what the John McGuires of the world say about my hat's color. I've often spoken my mind but never intended to offend, belittle or abuse another or his opinion. There were many times when others went beyond debate well into abuse from the safety and security of their unknown identities. It also seems their favorite targets were the higher profile members. It would be very easy to list specific names and instances but this is a new era and we have the potential to communicate on a much higher roadway than before. I can only hope such abusive behavior won't be tolerated.
This new board is much more akin to speaking face to face having our identities open. Generally speaking, a clear-headed, sober person will speak with others using respect and dignity. Those attributes were absent with certain members due to their unknown identities. This is far better in my eyes!
Hey that's just me though despite the color of my hat?

The feeling has always been mutual! My wife, who is reading this over my shoulder says to say hi! Maybe she'll come to Vegas with us this time to stop in and see you again?

Some have a problem with acountabitlity. If you really have an issue, whether it be about rule changes or personal distaste or other racers, you should stand up for it. The old board offered protection with aliases, me included. But that is gone now, now is the time to stand up and let er' rip. Go for it. If you have the balls!

Hmm????? My own opinion is that many things need to get blown away, but leaving the foundation to build something bigger and better. I cannot understand why some would say this place is now ruined? The only thing I can think of is narrow minded people or just people that like to start s**t for free. Jim, I congratulate you for IMO giving that kick to what ended up being a change for the better.

What I was trying to say was almost all of us steped over to the darkside somewhere along the line. Welcome back.
I can only think of five people I would not like see back and one of them is a protected mod favorite.

How's about you change the avatar back to the other car? The new one is just plain nasty! 
PS: Don't get trigger happy with that BAN button!
