The time has come to pick up my marbles and go home. ;) All kidding aside, I have really enjoyed my stay but all good things go south eventually. It's more a matter of principle than anything else, and I see our admins don't share mine. Not surprised just disappointed. Wishing you all the best and I thank you for all the great times. I still love my Marauder and Eric and I will see our friends around at local events. If anyone wants to take over the SBS please PM Eric as the group can be transferred to one of you.
Thanks for the memories,
Ms. D

This is really disappointing; but I suspected that this might be in the works because your postings have fallen off drastically in the past couple of months.
Will miss you chiming in on the various topics around here. :(
Not sure what pushed you over the edge to make this decision. Hope this is not related to the return of the "D". However, I respect your decision --- whatever the reasons were.
Hope to see you around at some of the meets and such. Be well, take care and have fun. :up:

I hate to hear of anyone leaving...that being said I totally understand not wanting to deal with "politics" involving a club or organization. I hope you stay in touch, I hope you stay around here and give your opinion on topics and chime in on our rants and raves.
Mer and I were involved with our local Model A club, longer standing members did not like our "new blood" being involved with our "new" ideas. It quickly turned into a high school argument every time we tried to have an outing.... we left the club and did not ever go back...we miss many of our "A" friends, now our car just sits and we don't enjoy it.
Drop the organized part and stay around for the friends and fun!

I am sure Paula is sick and tired of how this site has morphed into a political and social forum rather than a place to discuss a car. As she said, "all good things eventually go South" and when you have a forum dedicated to an 11 year old car that pretty much everything that can be done to it, has been done, topics tend to wander off.
I wish you well Paula, and keep smiling while driving! :D :burnout:

Not disagreeing with you Bob, just wanted to point out....
That this site is more then about a car, it is about friends staying in contact over distances. Friends that we have made that are now more then friends. Yes, we BS and disagree from time to time, but still this site is about the people that make this site great.

I agree with you Haggis, I am a newbie here. I have found a place that has kept my interest enough that I can't ignore. I can't sit down without checking out what you guys and gals are posting. I really enjoy this site and all of you who are on it. Any loss of a personality on here is a bad one. Yes, some of us are more harsh than others. Yes, I get irritated with some posts...but all in all its a good place for info, shared interests, get togethers, and making new friends over long distances. I personally talk to or e-mail more than a few people on here that I would have NEVER met if it were not for this site and our 11 year old cars.
Cheers to all of you:beer:

Gordon, well said. The social aspects of this site are very important, as they allow friends with similar interests to be together "virtually". I guess my point was, the vehemence that is shown on a regular basis here when discussing things other than cars and get-togethers, can, and does become rather tiresome.
I know that I can choose not to read or participate in the political/social crap, and often I ignore it. I just think some folks are much more sensitive to the overall "dark cloud" atmosphere that is created when topics like Unions, and "who is in the White House now" threads devolve into personal attacks.
I am no "pie in the sky" person, but it is my opinion that the moderators should establish some concrete ground rules regarding hot button topics. History has shown here that the same folks emerge as leaders for both sides of the arguments. At first the threads are reasonably tame, but then without fail, they go bad very quickly.
This forum is not regulated by the Constitution, thus there should be no expectation of unlimited free speech. It is my opinion that the moderators state that there will be zero political discussions. I know some will cry "foul" initially, but there are hundreds of blogs where those with burning desires to tell everyone else how to fix the world can vent.
I am betting that 99% of the members here would not miss the sandbox antics created by hacked to death political threads.

Well said. I noticed Mrs D's post were all but deleted and saw it coming.
I just dicipline myself to stay away from those threads that totally tick me off. After a run in with ponyup on a subject, that's when I decided to never get involved with those topics or threads. I say to myself, "it's about the car, not (fill in the blank)"
I don't run this site or own it but, I do have some ideas that would keep those that want to discuss topics not welcomed by all. I hate to brag about another forum here but, TCG has separate forums to discuss any and all sorts of topics including, not work safe forums. All members seem to respect the sections and police themselves. The attraction here to discuss such topics and push the envelope is, it is not allowed therfore, " I will push the envelope and piss in someones campfire because it is not allowed" That's the attraction to do so. If there were separate forums, hopefully, I say hopefully, those individuals would stay in their sand box.
Sorry to see it come to this!

I am very sorry to see Mrs. D go. Hope she will reconsider.
As for people not liking some of the threads posted on MM.Net then I say dont read them! We are all adults here and if there is a topic or subject you dont like then just dont open it-move on. I know their are certain topics or posts by certain people that I dont like so I just skip them.
I enjoy the comradery and the passion some people have for different topics and love reading the different viewpoints. Do I agree with everyone's ideas and responses to certain subjects -no but I do enjoy the discussions.
I really think the mods do a great job in letting things run their course and I hope MM.net does not change.

I've been on this site more the last two months than the last two years. For me its not even the off topic threads - once you read the title or a few posts I can easily ignore them. Sometimes folks need a break, that's normal to me. I actually get more PO'ed with the immature banter in the old days of who knows more and what method is the best. But every site I am on there are always a few people who take themselves too seriously or have to let you know just how much they know.
Its a car site but it also includes people many of us hang with so other thoughts and issues will always be a part of it. It was probably months and months since I had logged on, found two bumper covers and figured someone on here would want one of them. I went to log on to post my findings and what do you know. The site was shut down for a day - Oh well, too bad, bought one for myself the other one went to who knows where.
I couldn't believe it, same silly site with crazy people and crazy rules. Wasn't going to log on again and then I did because I realized I can ignore all the craziness. Glad I did because I ended up at MMX and had a ball. Most of you nut jobs are great people in person:lol:

We both look forward to seeing our local gang at local get togethers and hope to even meet new NJ/PA area Marauder folks.
As for MM.net organised events all I can say is time will tell.

I hope she comes back eventually; otherwise I'll just have a reason to go to Louisville (as if I needed one anyway).
If this is about the return of someone, well...I guess I have to ask the mods if they had to pick between two people, would they want someone to contribute positively, or someone to polarize? The answer seems clear to me, but I've been left scratching my head about this place plenty o' times.

We do not know why she chose to leave; however this is one possible (maybe even reasonable) explanation. If I recall correctly, she was a strong supporter of removing Dom from this site because of his 'antics'. Now he is back and she is gone. Maybe she felt like it was a slap in the face to allow him back.
She could also have chosen to leave because of ...
In short, I do not know so I can only make an assumption of why she left based on what I see ...
Just my two cents.

Paula,
I too have no idea why you are leaving, but you have been nothing but nice to me and I will truly miss you.

What the Fred!!!!!!!!!! This is not good, I know you have to stick to what you think is right Paula, so for that, you will be missed... You and Eric are what got me to my first event at NHIS, I hope that goes off next year, you guys started something real cool.
I hope you will be back...........
and bye the bye, I only pick my spots as to what I read here.., but can someone confirm in code if it is supposed to be a taboo topic I don't know.. Is the individual mentioned in this thread back? I have seen no Rambling, run on blab about topics and details so ridiculous that reading them is similar to rubbing sandpaper on your forehead? Just curious is all...

I agree 100%, there are people on here who act as if it's there site! Posting 2,000 or more times and have not supported the site other then using up space or going to meets! I know what is supposed to have brought this on and I feel sorry for Paula, and I see no flags for her Eric and many others. My issue is for these people who have gotten so much out of this site but have not supported it should have nothing to say!

And how did Paula's choosing to leave get to about flags?
I used to have flags; however I let them lapse and I still attend my local meets.
You are right, some folks do not agree with all the politics that go on with this site, as such we choose to not support it financially. Everyone makes choices in our lives. And since we choose to not have flags, we are not suppose to express our opinions? :bs:
Just my two cents worth.

Support involves a lot more than money for a site like this.
Positive comments and helping people who come here in need of it is what this site was founded on.
Just because you donate cash doesn't make you an owner or better than the people who have put a lot of time and effort into this site - that counts for something too!!

You sir are standing on extremely thin ice! You have NO idea how much Paula has put into this MM organization.
Paula,
Denise and I are extremely sorry to see you depart the sight, but we understand. Hope to see you at Carlisle in June or on either the ABS or Red Brick Station meet in the new year.

Thin Ice :-0 what ever, but it costs money to keep this site going and putting together meets, if you enjoy the meets and info than quit being so cheap and support it with flags, just my opinion and if you don't agree fine but thats how I feel!

I'm sure the following statement will get me a little vacation:
You need to stop being a douche bag, you have no frame of reference to how much time and money they donated to this site over the years. So you before you go calling them cheap, maybe you should ask what they've done for this site

I'm crushed. This is like finding out that Santa will not be coming to my house tonight.
Paula... you will be missed, and Joanne and I really mean it.
Peace, Love, and Happiness.

You are entitled to your opinion and that's fine.
Paula and I have supported this site for many years both financially and with our time. We have been involved in the planning of a Marauderville, sole organisers of 3 NH meets, many regional meets and even more local get togethers. All take time and some take money to organise which MM.net does not re-compensate for. Flags or not we have both been active members in creating what we hope are fun activities for members to enjoy.
So if you feel your donation is all you need to do to help the MM community that's just great, you get to enjoy the events that others who may or may not have flags have created for you to enjoy. :)

The time has come to pick up my marbles and go home. ;) All kidding aside, I have really enjoyed my stay but all good things go south eventually. It's more a matter of principle than anything else, and I see our admins don't share mine. Not surprised just disappointed. Wishing you all the best and I thank you for all the great times. I still love my Marauder and Eric and I will see our friends around at local events. If anyone wants to take over the SBS please PM Eric as the group can be transferred to one of you.
Thanks for the memories,
Ms. D
Seems like every time I pop in here on occasion something bad happens!

I am choosing to close this thread. Paula made a statement and more than enough opinions and conjectures have been made.
Paula - we are here for you if and when you want to come back.
Merry Christmas to you and Eric.
