We still need to build a bigger base of active members that join the forum. That or we start hosting it via the Facebook group, which would mean that Steve would never win.

I'm okay with not winning ROTM. The only reason I would want to is to get the photoshoot with Dale and I can't get him to finish the one I paid for let alone winning one! LMAO!
That FB group would really need to start behaving better in order to attract new members. It's really raunchy and I'm sure turns off some people from joining here.

The purpose of the FB is more or less to just BS and screw around like with what we don't want to show off on a public forum. But being that more people are Facebookers nowadays than into participating in online forums, you are right that it could be cleaned up a little.

Jeff, you should just come back. It's all in good nature, but I will agree some of it does get out of hand. Most of it is started by some dude that drives a Faux Boss majority of the time, though. And that gets old.

Ya'll have to remember that Ryan has to at least maintain the appearance of a bit more respectability than most of us, simply because of his line of work.
Me, I usually just shrug it off, and wonder about some of ya'll! LOL!

Yep if something was to happen and someone gets hurt while you were street racing and it came out that I knew about it and didn't do anything about it I could get in trouble.
