Liljack is very good at keeping the SEVC site updated as well as facebook. http://southeastvancouncil.com/ I really doubt the website sees much traffic but it's one of the tools the council has and he minds it well. I like it just because I really don't trust facebook. My better half is on FB and that's ok but it's not me.
One of the advantages this forum has had over the years is that so many members on here know each other. We've met at truck-ins or have had been to the same events at different times. That is changing somewhat nowadays but the attitude here has always been mutual respect and it remains.
Photobucket dealt this forum (and others) a heavy blow. One of the things that I've always loved here is the pics. We would always say to any new member "post some pictures" or "pictures or it didn't happen" as a form of inclusion and a way to get to know FNG's. I understand flick'r but it's not as easy as PB was.
One other thing that I miss is the females. We used to have the ladies on here all the time but since FB it's become a men's club around here. The ladies kept us honest and offered a different view of vannin that we needed.

"A compendium of information" .... I like that. As I age I've become a compendium of information. Not all of it correct but I've never been one to let facts stand in the way of a good story..

Sorry... didn't mean to run afoul of my true nature.

Yeah, this place is a compendium of information.
There's more stuff here about people's experiences with driving, tuning, modifying, restoring, buying, selling, building, and crushing vans than anywhere else I can think of.
Besides that, it gives people like me access to some guys that have been doing this van thing since I was a little kid seeing my first black Chevy van with a dragon on the side in the late 70s.

I'm with Kursed on the reading and carrying on conversations thing.
(Obviously, right? lol)
It always bugged me when someone would come into a group, ask a question, then be told to "Use the search".
As if the forum wasn't a place to talk.
I get the Jeep forums where every new guy wants to know what his Jeep will look like with a 2" lift, or "what wheels fit my YJ/TJ/JK/JLmnop", but that's different. There are 10 of those a day.
It was really silly to try to "use the search" only to find that question where the only answer was "use the search".
lol

Kursed is right about the camaraderie.
I feel like many of you are friends, and I've never met any of you in person (at least, not that I'm aware of).
I don't get that from Facebook groups.
That's actually a surprise to me because I would think it would be the other way around.

More than "3" syllables in a word gives me a headache.

Hey Rusty; I bet you have met a few members but probably offered them $3250.00 for their van or made fun of their sister or sister's best friend. rofl

I'm like some here, looking for the kind of camaraderie there used to be in vanning. In the early '70's that was my circle of friends.
