Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / November 2009Can This Forum Make A Comeback?
I think so..... While this place is a free for all anything goes forum...... I am finding that the recent influx of people on the 'other ' forum is showing a trend that might make this place popular all over again... The masses await your leadership. Jeffy! Dave Miller But will anybody be able to post or read? It seems like all of the ISPs are stampeding to drop Usenet, mine just joined in. > I think so..... > > While this place is a free for all anything goes forum...... > I am finding that the recent influx of people on the 'other ' forum is > showing a trend that might make this place popular all over again... Right now it has the stage, as the other one is in the toilet again... > > I think so..... > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Right now it has the stage, as the other one is in the > toilet again... Sadly it can't ever be what it once was because so few ISP's support Usenet anymore, so pretty much the only access most of us have is through Google, and that means no pictures. But it can be a lot more than it is. I'm in, Jeff.

Jeffy, you feeling especially politically incorrect?..<G> Shame that the archives here appear to be gone. What a TON of great info that is now lost. Lenghty discussions here about light bulbs and Ford 289's will be sabotaged....

However, after playing around it appears as tho they just changed the search function. I was able to make it work by hitting the "search groups" button, then clicking on the "advanced groups search" in the upper right hand corner. Besides entering in your search 'words', you will also have to set the "message dates" (I use the 'return messages posted anytime') and put "alt.autos.studebaker" in the "Group" field. For example, I searched this way on 'Jet Thrust' and returned 450 hits. Hope this helps. I'm kinda 'puter slow, so it took me a while to figure all this out <G>! Paul Oops, forgot to mention this is the search function on "Google Groups"...... Paul Thanks Paul! I was afraid it was all gone forever...

Well git yo' butt back in online! This group is for "real" men though! <G> JT Thanks about the archives, Paul...more of a pain in the a.s to use but still there. StudebakerGeorge > Thanks about the archives, Paul...more of a pain in the a.s to use but > still there. > StudebakerGeorge This place in it's heyday was like the Hangtown of Studebakerdom... rough and ready but a lot of fun and it got the job done better than anything before or since. Yeah, even after all the sh.t slingin' when there was a tech issue it was like all the bad was put aside (well...at least most of the times..) and the knowledge flowed... it could be funny as hell or bring tears to your eyes... OK Jeffy, you started it... Where is my lighter...<G> Studebaker George Now, wait just a gosh darn minute. . .don't all you trouble makers from the other forum be coming in here shaking things up and just when it was getting to be very peaceful around here even with the spam. <G> Rick I sure hope it can make a come back! Never could get used to the other one.I looked in here and see all these post about this group making a come back It just does my old heart good.

Fuel economy... Bah! We in central Texas are the latest victims of 10% ethanol content gas. Fuel economy decreased by a like amount so that amounts to a 10% increase in cost. Thank You EPA! Grrrrrrrr JT > It would be nice but I keep getting those hints at better fuel economy over > and over and over.
