    Post Please everyone read

    Back in Feb 01 2003 this site was born specifically for those people that had Ford Harley trucks. The basis of this forum is to gather all the knowledge from may people to one site so we can provide help for those that need it. From choosing which tires preform better, what mods are safe and what might might be a overall better choice for the direction we want to take are truck. How many of you remember?Ken800,Richo,JCZ,Ayrton,N2TRUX,Shadow9,Ou tnumbered,Hogwild,ZoranC,Cool Azz Toys and 503Blackjack to name just a few?
    I do. Actually most came over from FTW or F150 online.
    Iv'e been around since almost the beginning right around the 2 week of this sites conception and have seen alot of people come and go. A few members on here I would call good friends even though I never met most of them. That's what Iv'e always like about this site, It's eagerness too help out those in need and give solid advice without any, for lack of better wording "Agenda" like some of the other sites.
    The bashing and back stabbing that has been happening recently really scares me and Truthfully hurts me. Why you might ask? Because I know what this site is capable of and all the good it's done over the almost 3yrs of it's existence. It just hurts me to see some of the same stuff that goes on at the other sites happening hear. Maybe I was naive to think that we could be better than those sites. I still have faith in this site that if We Work Together As A Whole Again We Can Rise And Be the Exceptional Board That We Used To Be. Not blaming anyone since it's not just ones persons fault. Maybe it's just the stresses of the world we live in today which are different than 3yrs ago Maybe it's something else? What I do know is I hope we can turn around this site to make it a fun loving family again rich with knowledge and fun times where we could throw around a joke here and there and not get personally offended by the joke or take constructive criticism without it turning ugly.
    Enough of my words from my heart. Please everyone reflect a moment on what Iv'e said and lets see if we can be that fun loving site once again.
    Sincerely
    Mark P Terry

    I couldnt agree more with you tazz...if I may add my own .02...

    I havent been here since the very begining but close enough...I have watched this board sometimes from afar and sometimes on a day to day basis...we started as Tazz said as a small site dedicated to HDs..this forum has grown by leaps and bounds over the last couple of years and it both makes me proud of what we have accomplished and makes me sad when I see what we have become...how many people here were attracted to this forum because it was different than FTW and F150Online? There wasnt the cutting down of others and the negativity and sarcastic undertone used so frequently there...maybe NHTOC has become somewhat of a victim of our own success...maybe by being different we attracted so many new members (which is a good thing dont get me wrong) that they brought with them some of the manners they learned in the other forums around the net and without the founding members and the moderators here to keep the topics on target and the egos in check we have degenerated somewhat into what we all came here to escape...despite my negative tone i havent given up on NHTOC by any means and actually the funniest thing is that I havent even owned an HD in 2 years!! i sold my 01 a LONG time ago but the COMMUNITY and the FRIENDSHIPS are what kept me coming back...i even TRIED to swear off of this site and for a few months I never even checked in..but in the end the curiosity to see what my old buddies were up to brought me back here...its been a couple months since I came back here...lurking at first and more recently posting...but some of the attacks and negative attitudes have definitely soured me on alot of people that i dont even know here anymore...im not trying to sound like your grandfather telling a story about why everyone should get along..im simply saying that maybe its time for everyone here to check themselves and think about what we were founded on...friendships...helping others...information...and oh yea....THE TRUCKS!!!

    Don't Know WTF you guys are talking about and have no interest in digging around to find out. No sense broadcasting I say. Let dirt lie where it usually falls to and let those looking up for info not be bothered to look down.

    We have a whole group of Backstabbers in CA with thick skins.

    PS . Always love your hot chick and your flirting with the family rules Nazis.

    Love the site, Hate the editing

    thats kinda the wrong attitude to have though. thats how f150online and the other sites used to be. let chit happen, and things will go on. yes its true, but it was definately a better place here when chit didnt have to happen at all


    Tazz, i dont think anyone could have summed it up much better than that. you hit the nail square on the head my friend


    every year around this time it usually gets a bit tense in the forums, but its coming a bit early this year i guess. usually it hits when winter comes and everybody gets anxious from being coop up inside.


    just like Tazz, i've been around here since the beginning. actually i've been around since before the beginning. The site started in February, but look to the left, i was actually registered up a month before it was even online. lol. And being one of the guys who helped build up the site from the ground up, I designed the NHTOC logo so many of you's have stuck on the back windows of your trucks, and helped layout the forum categories, I guess I'm a bit more sensitive to attacks on the site and moderating because i take it on a more personal level even i somethings not directed at me, just since NHTOC has been my online home that i've helped build along with many others so long ago, and lately its started to feel like my home was being invaded and pushing me out because it hasnt felt the same this past month, and so many of the original members have disappeared. never would have imagined i'd be called a nazi moderator, especially since i hardly ever have to edit a post, just move an occasional thread here or there to the correct forum, which again i can no longer do for why knows why.


    I still have faith in this site that if We Work Together As A Whole Again We Can Rise And Be the Exceptional Board That We Used To Be.

    those were about the same words that got NHTOC started up when f150online went to hell. hopefully some of the newb's will catch this thread and maybe get an idea of how it used to be here instead of just jumping on the bandwagon and not realizing what this forum is when at its full potential.


    and just as tazz said again, its no one persons fault. all of us at one time or another has said something that was probably over the line, or went too far, its only human nature. i know i've been on the edge a bit and under the stress lately with working 3 jobs now and barely having any free time, and the last thing i want to put up with online when i get home is an unfriendly forum. but time to use this thread as a reality check and start over again. forgive somebody, forget a past flame, start over again, and make NHTOC was it was so long ago. sounds sappy, but hey, this place is a much better atmosphere to be around when its a friendly site

    Hey Tazz, are you talking about me you little piece of....



    Just kidding. (Thanks again for the bra)


    I know things can get a little testy for anyone at times. I even had a little spat with another member once, but we hugged and made up and even enjoyed some food and drinks together at GTG in Charlotte with several other NHTOC and NLOC members. (Though he did take some incriminating photos of me with a Hooters girl that I never saw posted, lol)

    Anyway, even the best families will have fights on occasion. We just all need to remember to think of the spirit in which we are writing things and why we are writing them. Sometimes no response is better than being sucked into a war of words with someone who is pushing your buttons.

    I love you guys, but your still not getting my Bud Light.

    Good idea. Stupid idea of closing the Bra Post, instead of just deleting the off topic replies.

    Looked like there was a good thing going, but who will ever know, now that its closed.

    Unhappy

    I at this time am no longer pursuing this product nor the company to become a vendor for our sites (at this time). Out of six different website this is the only one where this occurred.

    It is a shame too.

    We reached the 50 people requirement last night.

    As for part in this chain of events , I would like to apologize to the brother hood.
