Just a couple of ideas to keep in mind. It is very easy for an attempt at a friendly jab to be seen as a snide comment online. As I have said before you do not have the moderating influence of actual eye to eye contact to give you the clue that it is a joke. Another thing to consider it that he is almost always on the site and I do not mean a few hours a day but rather all the time. Years ago when I was alone I spent many hours a day on the Vietnam Vets site and it does become a substitute for other interactions with people. I am not saying this to tweak anyones guilt meter, just stating a fact about the Internet. I joke alot online and I am sure that I have offended some people without intending to.
I think the reason you see such a wealth of knowledge here, is because this forum is because its members are/were the "regulars" from over there that have were around fromt the earliest days of the Commander. Its seems like the "big kids" all started another club and have left the "little kids" in a group to fend for them selves.
I have been on the other site for a long time and was hesitant to join here since i dont have enough time online to be checking two forums regularly. But i finally joined since it seems like most of the regular knowledgeable posters, are now here. Its very obvious to me that the majority of the posting being done there is from people who have owned a commander, or jeep for that matter, for less a year.
I guess I have followed the crowd and it seem like this could some day be what the other site started out to be----with less drama. :)
But, I am still going to use both.
Well were definately glad that you joined the xk-forum!
I rarely even check the other one anymore. Though I will probably post a for sale item there - more traffic, and I'm sure most here already have front tow hooks.
Internet addiction - my wife calls it Facebook :mad: But to be fair to her, she is just as social in person.
