Troutsqueezer:
I don't like the way the moderators were treated. Seems to me they put more of their time and effort into making HMEM what it was than most of us did and in the end it looks like they were treated like they didn't exist. Sorry, that is inexcusable.

Dennis-

You are 100% correct. The mods are what made HMEM what it was. All the B.S. that pollutes most other sites didn't exist there because of the dilegence of the mods.

Had a look at my emails today and - Behold! I have a password for HMEM!

So I logged in, had a look around, edited my password and tried to navigate around the site. That was not difficult, just different.

There were a number of threads I'd been following and most are still active, notwithstanding participation from members who have understandably fled.

When we joined HMEM (or Madmodders) we were politely asked to post an introduction, so I looked for Austin's. He clearly has no interest in engines or machining, but likes to run forums - "and recently was lucky enough to turn forums into a job."

I feel sure he will make more by learning to run forums properly. I personally have no idea what is involved in running a forum and I have no wish to do so. But HMEM under Rick's stewardship was a site of great integrity, that's why I joined. I'd been lurking for a while and had learned a great deal from it before joining.

I'll see how it goes, but I know it won't be the same. Rick is a hard act to follow.

From the looks of it today, most of the long-time members have "bugged-out".
Nothing left but a wisp of dust in the air.

I hope they surface soon on a new commercial-free forum.

I am having withdrawl symptoms already.

90LX_Notch:
Whose still over there? If some of the "heavy hitters" (George, Steve, Brian, Chuck, etc.) are still there, the new site will slog along. Those guys are the "anchors". Their threads are the ones that everybody follows. I hope Keith posts his V8 somewhere else. I want to see it when he finishes it. Hopefully, those guys work their way over here.
