Now I see why regulators are needed

I occasionally ‘lurk’ on the other site for our trucks……..oops, is that betrayal? Lol.

I was actually looking for something else and came across a everlasting thread about Pedal Commander versus Banks Pedal Monster…….Strewth, you should see (maybe some of you have,) the HATE and distain on there for peoples views and preferences! Calling each other all sorts of names! ‘Engineer’ what sort of engineer, where did YOU qualify etc etc……

Glad we have the rules we do And they are enforced!

Thanks for a good forum gents! We get a bit but nothing like that lot!

I visit other ram forums and never experienced any of that on any of them. Which forum?

There are several sites that are like that. No filter and basically no rules. Bashing other members is almost welcomed. I do not see the propose for this as you just run people off. I love this site because of the rules and people we have. Do people have disagreements? Yes, but usually they are adults and act like that. I am sure I miss things, but this is a great site and ran very well!

I've seen this several times, it's sorta hilarious when someone new who does not follow the rules and then decides to "pick a fight" with the forum staff about it... It doesn't end well for them.

I’m not gonna name sites and make it worse!
It was the ‘other ‘ site about 5th gen rams. There are not that many that come up on google search. It IS actually funny if you read the whole thread! ‘ I’m not engaging in this argument anymore’ and then they do! I was actually grinning as I read it.
It was not resolved of course……….

I came here for the better technical expertise and knowledge base. I am not disappointed.

Also too bad BITOG became a snob site as well. Oh, well!

the other Ram forum with the Z, was great until it changed ownership
When GT ran it, it was an informative site

When it changed ownership everyone moved on
I chose to try this site out & i have not been disappointed & several other familiar screen names were already here

Just to finish this up……I’ve been a member since 2014, just hovering around the fringes. Only recently have I started actually contributing, posting…….I can’t believe how much I enjoy it! I have only had Rams since 14 so I am by no means an ‘expert’ but it is so nice to be able to chime in to help out.
As for the word association games and 4 word games, first thing I do every day ( yes retired, sad old git!!!!!) is have a glance to see what has been posted! Some of it is so clever and witty.,
If you haven’t seen them, go and have a gander! Good fun.

I'm on several ram forums, including the one alluded to above. Personally I don't see any difference between this site and that one, the other one can be very friendly as well and one thread doesn't define the forum. I've been in my share of scraps on both sites.

I'm actually sad to see this site turn up the screws recently. So many words you can't say anymore. Sometimes a little spice can be nice.

ramffll,
You are, of course ,right. I am sure that there are loads of extremely helpful folks on all of the forums, that’s what they are for……
I apologise, it was just that one post re pedal master/ pedal monster that really tickled me!
Also yes, spice is nice. I push it myself sometimes when playing the word games on here! Hee hee. Haven’t been reported or told off YET though

BINGO!

This site is awesome, and I am grateful to those who have come before me that have shared their knowledge here. I wouldn't have been able to do some of the work on my Ram if not for you all.

I agree that the 'turning up of the screws' on this site is a bit of a bummer. I liked the more 'relaxed' version better. We are adults here, and I view it along the lines of censorship, and a bit much, but it is what it is. Not my site, or software, not my rules to make.

I guess I am a bit old fashioned. I believe that if I offend you, tell me, etc. Used to be, differences were just that, and we would agree to disagree, and still be friends at the end of the day. Communicate, talk. Almost seems nonexistent in this world of social media, texting etc. Sad.

I LOVE it when someone calls the Mrs. and I you guys. It makes for some good humor because I tell them she is not a guy. I then go on and say trust me I DON'T sleep with guys. Then they laugh and get a big kick out of it. Like was mentioned I normally say you all it's the KY in me.
