I miss Larry too, his sense of humor and mine were similar.

I think Barry is doing a fantastic job.

We rely on you guys a lot though, the site has gotten so big without the report post function it would not be managable, keep on using it.

Sid(Travis) has had to add some mods recently and except for myself I think he made some outstanding choices.:p

I have had to make some serious adjustments in the tolerance department.:rollseyes

I bet bans have gone down 95% since he left... LOL

I was not his greatest fan, and neither were ALOT of members. I know a buddy of mine who just stated an opinion (respectfully) in a thread and was banned because that guy disagreed with him on it. I might catch flack for this but the site has been a lot smoother since he stopped being active, he had some serious issues. The other mods/admins i have zero complaints about.

+1. Not a fan of LL. Some people like to rule with a hammer and there are certainly times for that. But there is a reason why there are threads in other mustang forums where people complain about having serious issues with LL on SVTP.

Wherever people cry out for justice, there you will find Lightning Larry, his ban-hammer smiting the evil.

Amen to that! :rockon: L.L. can stay retired. JimmySidecarr, Stampede3 and ThePizz are doing a great job keeping the inmates in line.

While I apprciate the vote of approval all I'll say is that LL is Semi-retired.

He does check in from time to time and is still a staff member so please watch what you say.

I do miss his style and believe it or not we could use a little more of it.

The rest of the staff do a fine job but we all have different styles. None of us have his and there are times where we could use it for sure.

+1. There have been more then a few threads regarding LL. I wonder if his reputation keeps people from joining this forum? I have also read my share of threads on other forums such as modfords regarding interactions with him.

True fact, he is not gone.


PERFECT!!

Who gives a $hit???? He was too much. The forum is better with him not being a moderator.

Reading comprehension??:shrug: post #29

Even before you were a mod I thought you were a good member. You have done well as a mod though from what I can tell. And no, this is not kissing up ha. Yes, Stampede does a great job as well.

I know several people would complain about LL but I never thought he was as bad as people made him out to be. He did get a little cranky at times but all in all he did keep some of the more crazy people in line.

I still check in now and then.

The hard feelings are understandable. I had a job to do and I did it.

I'll admit I got overly hard handed sometimes. I also got rid of a lot of a holes.

The mods and admins here now do a fantastic job. I back them 100%

Well maybe except Barry.:lol1: J/K Brother. You know I love you. :beer:

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone and I'm still alive and kicking.. :beer:

PS: Good to see you're doing well Jimmy.:rockon:
