Dave you have witnessed first hand how that works on other forums. You will end up with meaning less posts just to fulfill the requirement. As the sites content grows so will the site activity.

I see the new members joining each day. I think most are just after info and have to sign up to gain access to it (like the wiring diagrams).

Get Shorty back  in here!!  They'll be jack'n their jaws then... among other things. ;)

Where'da fuck she go, anywhoo?  I seriously doubt she's that thin skinned for me to have run her off that damn quick. ;D

Ideally, we need some build progress pics posted on this forum like there's been over on the, uh, you know, forum. :-X  I ought to be able to commense a built thread in a few months once my shop is up and running.  All's that's left is insulation and drywall.

I've asked her a few times. She is going through a rough stretch as we all have. I suggested she stop in here as we can all relate. She's not ready yet. I threatened to fly down and get her out and about willingly or unwillingly!

Build threads are a great thing to post. I cross post my crap as it is only a click of the mouse to do so.

Well hell... maybe I ought to start me a thread titled:... "The shit I gotta go through just to build myself a damned chop 'cause I'm too damn cheap to buy one ready-made!!"

I got a shit load of pictures of me clear'n ground, fab'n a 30x50 shop and get'n it wired, shelves built and buttoned up a couple years ago only to walk away from it then move back to Alaska and start clear'n ground for another house and shop.  And, I got shit loads of pics of that construction as well I could post.  Currently, she's buttoned up and wired.  Now, all I gotta do is afford to insulate and drywall now that the heat just recently got put in.  No sense run'n the heat if there's no insulation as the heat will just roll out the bird blocks of the eaves... and it's winter up in these part and coooooold, too.  Anywho... once it's insulated, rocked, I can then start build'n my shelving and start lay'n out all my tools.  At that point I could actually start chop'n on my doner 81 shubble.
