I have been scouting
Mark and I have been on CompD for a LONG time. We post there often. Different groups of people want different answers and have different needs. I see Andy on there a lot, David shows up from time to time, Levi just started some very nice threads, Cman (I just forgot your real name bud!
) shows up a lot in the 1st Gen section, jqmile is more over there than here. So, what's so funny about that? Different forums for different subjects.
This place has been great for what applies to these trucks but people here are not into the same thing as CompD. CompD is what the name applies, Competition. You go to any of the semi big events (NHRDA sanctioned events comes to mind besides SDX and TS) and you meet CompD's owners, mods, Admins, sponsors, big name competitors. A lot of them are much nicer and more amiable than how they appear on the internet. If you heard about the constant blackholing of some really stupid threads, you'd understand the hostility they have over some of the newbs. They are for a higher class. Go to yellowbullet or Pirate4x4 and ask which oil you need for your truck. Now go ask the same question on DTR or any brand specific forum.
Some people here have too big of ego's to go over there and actually learn something new. I have been in arguments and get quickly put into the corner with a dunce cap over there. However I learn from it and move on. Some people here have to argue their point till they're blue in the face then get butthurt and come back here.
1st Gen is dying from the lack of innovation and its attitude towards it. Used to be that if someone had a semi decent idea, a lot of help was given. Now you suggest something and get the typical "These are good towing vehicles and that's it" or "What do you expect from a 20 plus year old truck" or, my favorite, "It's a truck, it's supposed to ride like a truck". I guess that since rotary dial phones were just plain awesome, why do we need a cell phone?
