The Den is Doing Good.
« on: December 27, 2013, 01:59:26 PM »
Since the Den took over from the Nest, so far in December:

1st place for page views.
2nd place for new posts (January still leads).
5th place of new topics.  Looks like we will finish in 2nd or 3rd place though.

We Are Back!

We are about where the Nest was, stat wise, back in early 2013.  I just wish we had ALL of the old posts and topics back (from day one) as there was so much good stuff that was lost.  BTW this is the 11th anniversary of the Nest/Den.  Now to start preparing for the next 11 years.  The current admins are getting old and curmudgeonly.

I see the forum is picking up in activity as well, would there be any way to get the word out about about the move to the den?

Seems like word of mouth is working.  I don't know if the mass e-mail thing works any better than it used to ( which it didn't).  I might give that a try to see if it works now.  Many of the registered members last visited long before the Nest went down, or registered and never revisited.

  The current admins are getting old and curmudgeonly.

curmudgeonly = crusty: brusque and surly and forbidding; "crusty remarks"; "a crusty old man"; "his curmudgeonly temper"; "gruff manner"; "a gruff reply"

i think that would be exagerated   :rotfl:

I do argue with myself a lot when working here on the Den.  The good thing is that in the past six months no legitimate member has been banned, edited or even asked to tone things down.  Its like it was in the old days and what we used to be known for.  The friendliest Auto Forum on the WWW!

I think a good admin is what makes a forum, or at least from what I have seen from lurking around a few forums. I think steve had disgruntled a few members over the years I sent a few eggs, I mean thumbs up your way doug, as you are doing a great job

100 new posts today!  The last time the Nest/Den had more than 100 posts in a single day was July 17, 2012!

Great! That is awesome!
My list of my cars/toys (or toys at my disposal!)

1985 AMC Eagle Sportwagon
2017 Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic
1993 Mercedes-Benz 500SL
2016 Triumph Bonneville
 1962 Cruisers Inc Mahogany Outboard

I like to to tell people my Eagle is like a Ferrari. It's quirky, tempermental, border-line exotic, and something you don't see everyday.  See? Makes perfect sense....

I agree, I hadn't checked in for a day or two, and had a lot of catching up to do
