    I come here daily but dont post a lot, when somebody ask a question and I have what I think is the answer I will post it but there are others here that can usually answer any questions.

    Happy to see there may be some positive changes coming! I haven’t been as active in the maverick community as I once was due to a lot of major life events. But I am very happy to see the MMB will continue to get better! I am hoping to get back wrenching on my car again next year.

    I have repeatedly spoken to the people that would make this happen. Everyone seems to like the idea of a change and take over. It is up to them now at this point - to pull the trigger and make it happen.
    There is not much else I can do. I'm still here doing the moderating, which now a days is mostly trying to keep spam off the board. I am retired now and just can't spend a lot of time here. It's coming up on 25 years that I've been around here.

    The people that will make this happen need to get it done. It's that simple.

    Wow, I didn't realize you've been here that long.
    I first joined in 1997 when I first got the Internet. 'Took an 11-year hiatus (I had a bad habit of breaking the rules, unfortunately) and re-joined in 2019. Thanks to Stefan for being gracious.
    'Would realy love to see this forum thrive as it did years ago...

    I used to be on here daily but now I can't even log on half the time, just keeps trying to connect. Or if I get on then click on a post, same thing. I just get frustrated and leave. Happened again this session. After a few minutes it finally connected. This is the only web site I have a problem with.

    It is because everything is too old, there are many patched in programs competing with each other. Everything here is still server based. All the newer programs will be cloud based and 99% of the issues will be gone.
    I'm still really hopeful that a change gets done this year. Maybe at the Round-Up some of the major players in this can decide what they want to do.

    Well at least give a like on all of them .......run that count up too ....... :p

    Seriously, that is another glitch of the board, many posts end up with duplicates. Worst part is I spent 10 minutes trying to remove them but I just keep getting stuck without the pages loading. Logged in now and speed is fine. No rhyme or reason to any of it.
    Board is fast right now.

    Honestly - isn't Stefan the only one who can make this happen? From his profile: "Stefan was last seen Dec 29, 2024" though we know that you said you two have spoken directly since then.

    I'm in contact with plenty of the old guard, if its a case of needing to "round up" support, that we can do. You've been relaying stuff (as the only staff member) but feels like we'd need some engagement from him to get anything done here? I'm not retired, and now have a one year old, but I'm still willing to spend time on this if it'll secure the future of the resources here. We will lose them otherwise. (a member in this very thread has passed since it started)

    You tell me who you need to hear from and I will run them down, I'm probably not going to be able to make the roundup, but I doubt that'll be critical to it.

    Bruce, I'm going to PM you with my phone number. Call me and I'll give you what I know.

    I have reached out to Stefan directly in regards to all this. I never heard back.
