Popular Post doubleclutchinweasel Posted January 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'm on several different forums, related to several of my interests. I'm sure others of you are too.Ever notice how most of the other ones are both used by & moderated by a#&holes?Seems like most of the members either have no sense of humor or don't quite get mine.The moderators seem to be on a power trip. They feel compelled to impose their will on the posters, rather than keeping watch on the posts.And, worst of all, new members seem to be unwelcome. If you're not in their clique, p$#s on you!Here at bmt, everybody is welcome. Nobody makes smart-ass comments just because you have a different point of view. Posters tend to treat others with respect. And, most importantly, the moderatos will actually engage in the conversations, rather than try to make the whole forum their own.Dang, this cough medicine is some good stuff! 10 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

mackmb212 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'm not a member of any other sites like this but I do go on a lot of them for tech info. I agree with what your saying about other forums the rules are vary strict the people only have a sense of humor when there bashing someone for asking a simple question. This is by far the best forum I have been on, that goes for the members too.

doubleclutchinweasel Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 By the way, does anybody know how to find the "my content" function on the mobile version of this site?

Popular Post Lmackattack Posted January 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2014 This is the only trucking fourm that I visit because of the way it's run... We can talk trucks,women,politics and still be friends....only once in a while does someone try to get out of line and when that happens it either settles itself or they get the wrath of us....If you like wild and crazy forums that anything goes with little moderation check out " the yellow bullet" It can be a soap opera or hell depending on the day.... 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34178-bmt-vs-other-forums/#findComment-225657 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'm not on many,but do know what you mean,as I had a falling out at the spin off group from the ATHS( I won't give them the satisfaction of mentioning their name) board's "leader" over a humor situation,one of them deals where it's ok for this guy to do it,but not you.I check in both ATHS and ATCA both both of those are pretty quiet anymore. Some reason can't get logged into the Brockway site anymore,but it's fairly quiet too. Just started getting on some of the Facebook Mack groups,but I still don't know how much I like that Facebook deal yet,alot of unwanted BS goes with it it seems. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34178-bmt-vs-other-forums/#findComment-225667 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NoClueJoe66 Posted January 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2014 I have been on other forums myself, and this one by far is the best..... When I first come on this site I figured I would be outcasted because I didn't own a Mack, but everone on here has always been good to me. Where else can you go to see "Winfall Women" or "The Obama Joke Of The Day"? I might not post a whole lot, but i'll always stay on this site. We go from truck talk to personal problems on here and it's always good to know that we have a great group of folks on here. 4 Quote This message was brought to you by Hargraves Potted Meat Product.

57 bcr Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I enjoy this forum also. We have a good bunch of people that seem to get along and help each other out,when ever possible. The icing on the cake is actually getting to meet some of these arslips people at the shows. I have learned a lot on here myself.........hell,yesterday I couldn't spell truck driver,and today I are one!

thomastractorsvc Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I mostly hang here, I check the ATHS site about once a week as there is not much to talk about, I used to go to the trucker report and read the long posts but there seems to be enough to read here. Like FWD I joined the duramax site looking for a question on what I could do to improve mileage with out voiding the warranty and got two responses that were not even in line with my question. I like on here that folks at least respond to questions and let you know if they don't have any idea.But I guess that just shows that Mack lovers are different people than most and I am proud of that fact Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Popular Post bulldog man Posted January 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2014 I Belong to A Heavy equipment forum , GM Truck forum as well as here @ BMT . I will go in the GM Forum & Lurk but Very rarely post unless I have a question about my GMC 2500 & I learned they are strict around there on both forums & don't have a sense of humor what so ever ON EITHER SITE . I Tried kidding around on the Heavy equipment fourm & I got the 5th degree & cold shoulder .I feel like I don't belong on either site so I don't go on either 1 very much . BUT even I don't post here daily ...im here Lurking, looking @, & liking Post Daily .Here @ BMT I Feel like I belong as I have not only been named after a Mack but drove them for myself & others , Worked on them (ours no one else's ) &made my living w/ them up until 05' When Pop passed . The people here is the reason why im here day & day out .I was still driving till 07 when my dr said my health turned south & I couldn't pass the DOT Physical now he said due to me loosing 150lbs & off of all but 1) 25 mg bp pill & said I wont be on that much longer , (I was taking 7 pills a day) I can get my CDLS Back but TN now wants me to have an automatic due to the mild case of Cebral palsy in my left hand ) I drove A 2 stick for years Why do I need an Automatic now ??? Cause the way my hand looks ? I DONT THINK SO !!! looks are deceiving !! I Don't have a truck anymore but im sure I can always borrow 1 Of my local buddy's truck for my driving test again I Plan on fighting the state on that restriction !! I did before, I will again !! Im tired of being in a truck under 26,000 lbs .I Have made friends that I can relate to from all over thanks to BMT : I talk to Tom (Otherdog) , NC Joe quite a bit on the phone . hell I talk to Joe almost daily on the phone . I Have talked to several Others on here & continue to do so daily on Facebook .I talk to Herb almost daily through Facebook .Joe & myself have met 1 another I Just talked to Jake tonight & he lives just a 2-3 hours south of me here in the Mid South . & Look forward to meeting him soon .I have missed Randy M (SleepWalker) when he was in my neck of the woods a couple of times but still want to meet him , Buster & Ann .I Didn't realize I had talked to rifleman (Steve ) before when 1 of my Cousins (who is personal friends w/ him in WY) Posted a pic of Steves MH Bulldog to my Fb Wall & I knew I had seen pics of the truck before & couldn't remember where duh ... Then Steve & myself became friends on FB . It wasn't until he told me in a PM On FB About his upcoming article in Bulldog that I put 2&2 together & I had talked to him on here . I enjoy seeing pics of Barry's car . Maybe I can get up towards Toms part Of the world & meet him as well . I Want to make the Macungie show 1 year & meet the rest of yall as well . I see Mike In the Mack Forums on FB & Comment on his pictures as well. Man I like that R Model he had that 1 was nice looking Dog you had back in the day Mike . Yardo Helps me keep motivated w/ my workout weather he knows it or not by posting workout pics or posting on FB about his workout as he & I both went down the weight loss road. Thanks Randy I have not made the kind of friendships on any other truck or equipment forum like I have here . Its almost like a family around here cause we talk about anything & everything . & even when I was w/o a computer there for awhile & had to borrow 1 I would spend hours on here catching up on threads . but I could access FB Through my phone & if I wanted to relay a message to BMT I did so w/ help of other BMT Members through FB Or by calling them .Now i'll go to the corner table put my back up against the wall & buy the BMT Family a Round !! & A Toast to the BMT CREW WE HAVE A HELLUVA GOOD FOURM HERE YALL thanks Barry 4 Quote You Cant Fix Stupid.

slpwlker Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'm on 1 other site. When I was at landstar there is a BCO Forum and I am still on there. Been to the Pete forum and just felt dirty afterwards. No sense of what was going on and it sucked.This is by far second to none 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34178-bmt-vs-other-forums/#findComment-225723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakebrake86 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 What they said! I'm just glad y'all tolerate my dumb questions on a daily basis! I've had the opportunity to make some good friends and have gained alot of knowledge from you guys so far! I guess the only other forum I'm on is the heavy equipment forum, and I've got some pretty straight answers on tech problems, but there's none of the joking and carrying on on the HEF like there is here. 2 Quote Jake Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34178-bmt-vs-other-forums/#findComment-225737 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does really seem like a family, even though I am a listener mostly..I had been away for awhile last year...and have a question....what happened to ROB.....who used to always mention "Mama" and in my opinion had probably the most posts and answers on here....I can only hope the answer isn't bad.......Rusty Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34178-bmt-vs-other-forums/#findComment-225743 Share on other sites More sharing options...
