So how long has MF been around? I notice there does not appear to be much activity in any of the forums.....I was just curious what the reason for that was? Brand new site? Just not that many Merc owners? Waiting for the word to spread?


I like the looks of the site...and with the new addition of a 96 Marquis to my all Ford family I hope to be around here learning all the tricks.

According to the old forum user list, the oldest posts are from 2004.


A forum is only as good as it's members, and their postings. Many just show up, don't even introduce themselves, and then disappear.


What I like about this site is that there is not much of the "crazy" stuff around, more like being focused on the main issues. Sort of keeping the vehicles running, instead of installing subwoofers and other items, but then not having the funds to do proper maintenance or getting checks done.


So its up to everyone, you included, to make a change.


Greetings!

I know all about that. I moderate several forums in on a Ford site that's more than half a million members strong. That's why I asked....I assumed this board was still very young, and it is.


Don't worry about me...I'll be around [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

Oh...and speaking of moderators. Does this site have any? I noticed the Engine&Internals forum has two on topic thread and about 49 by the same spammer. Somebody needs to clear that forum and block the IP.

I don't know about the age, I was only able to look up the oldest posts from what they call "the old forum". Don't know if that is it, or if other records were lost during the war. [img]smileys/smiley8.gif[/img]


Yeah, spamming is an issue on here, there are weeks when those are the only postings. I send a PM to one of the admins, never received an answer.


I guess we have to live with it, since we don't have rights to delete or block these members.


Good to see that you're still around.


Greetings!

It's interesting that the administrator hasn't posted since August. I wonder who is supposed to be running this show?

Well, if they have nothing to ad.


You wonder who is running this show? That would be --->[img]smileys/smiley8.gif[/img]


LOL


What other Ford's do you have in your family?


Greetings!

kinda wondered the same, and figured it was 92merc [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]


oh, and most likely i'll be driving around in a marquis for a while too, dont see any changes in the near (or far) future [img]smileys/smiley16.gif[/img]

Running a show? That's hard to do.


People seem to have no trouble spending time to register, then just posting a question, and take off. Not even taking time to introduce themselves.


I don't expect anyone to jump when I have a question. But once the wounds are healed (from cuts and bruises when pulling out the arms from in between engine or dash), I'd like to share, and not just give it away.


It's all about giving. And hopefully receiving sometimes.


Anyway 20Mxxx, keep on going, the forum hasn't been that active in, well, hm, ....... a long time! LOL


Greetings!

I am taking a break from work for a few minutes and was reading thru some of the forums. Since I am new the ford scene, last ford I owned was a 78 T-bird and that was over fifteen years ago, I am more into keeping them running will subtle changes. I plan to add a cb, fog lights and maybe some kind of grille guard eventually.
