    Dwight ( BigD) has retired and NLOC and NHTOC are under new management

    Good Morning

    Dwight has retired to his Mountain retreat in the Carolinas and I have taken over management of NHTOC. This change has happened just recently and there are still a number of hand off issues that need to be resolved.

    Dwight and Nan contributed thousands of hours and thousands of dollars to the sites and the activities over the years. His leadership and guidance has held these sites together all these years. His leadership will be missed. Its my hope that once he gets his retirement home setup he will find time to check in here and keep us informed on his activities and participate in some of the discussions.

    You will begin to see some subtle changes to the site and the membership process over the next few weeks. For now Ive disabled the join and merchandise features so that we don't get further behind on memberships.

    Some back ground on me in case you haven't met me or seen me online. Ive been running the server for Dwight for a number of years, and I host about 90 domains. Including a number of other Ford and Auto enthusiast sites. Some are owned by others some by me.

    The Lightning related sites that I own include Talonclub.com and SVTLightnings.com and some other domains that point to those sites. Over a decade ago I was the first Moderator of F150 Online, so I have some experience with the drama of the Auto enthusiast community.

    Ive owned 2 lightnings both Gen 2's -both silver. The 2004 lightning was stolen in 2008. At that time I had been driving F150's exclusively since 1990 and decided to try something else for a change.

    I'm interested in feedback from the membership as to what is good about the site and what needs to be changed. Not all suggestions can or will be implemented but Im very interested to know your opinions.

    Thanks for your support and participation in the website.

    More info to come

    Doug

    I know that Membership renewals have been falling through the cracks
    And Im sorry for that

    If you have renewed and your status doesnt reflect it - Send me a PM with the PayPal receipt or cancelled check

    Ill see what I can do manually while we get the records updated

    I have to dig my membership paypal receipt for the past year, though you could ask anyone here and all the old timers can confirm I have always been one of the "paid member" enforcers. For me the quantity on info, as well as the money saved on repairs that can be done by ourselves with help from members is enough to pay the membership, which I did since my join date, and me being a moderator is another obvious reason I have to be a paid member. For the last two years I had to hunt BigD to have it corrected, but due to my changes in life, States and Cities I was living in, it was not the priority.

    Let me know how we can work it out.

    copy paste from the paypal receipt is the best way - it has the date info and other stuff I need.
    Thanks for the explanation I agree with all of it especially the bolded part.
    The reason I agreed to take on this project was because of all the freinds Ive made over the years - I dont have a lightning any more and dont have room for one. But Ive made some life long friends here and on TALON and I think the clubs are great for that
