While I like the wood panelling and the "you can smoke in here" attitude of the Gentleman's Club we call TheVetteBarn, I still go to the Nightclub once in a while.

Doesn't mean I think we need a DJ and a discoball.

Retired so I have a bit of time to be on the forums. I also as many of you know hit another car forum. It does have a hell of a lot more traffic than this one does. That can be both good and bad!

I'm also on a couple gun forums and a stock forum.

I tend to bounce around for a while on the computer and then do chores or go out enjoy the weather up here on the lake or out in the Vette in the good weather. I do not spend all day at the keyboard!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

At first, I wanted to see the Barn compete with CF...perhaps out of revenge at the time. Now, I think that this is actually better. I don't spend time at other sites unless I need answers about a car I'm driving. For example, I'm on MBWorld, but maybe I have 6 posts there, and when I trade in the Benz, I probably won't go back at all. I don't even post on my Facebook account. I just don't spend that much time online because I think that for the most part, real life is a lot more interesting. So for the time I am online, this is a good place to be.

The people who have been tossed out from here pretty much got what was coming to them, and I don't miss their nonsense. There are several that have been unfairly run off, and I miss them. But this is a far less regulated forum and you need a thicker skin. And I honestly think we have an excellent mod staff. They are much better at knowing when and when not to step in to a situation and at recognizing who the real troublemakers are and sending them packing.

Really don't know how you came up with that. All the mods that are listed at the bottom of the page along with a few others not shown are regular posters as is our Admin. They're just don't draw attention to themselves by locking threads and banning people for sport like they do at CF. The only person that's truly MIA is Gary who started the Barn (and whom I think we all miss). But sometimes life takes over.

I kinda like the small town feel here. When I go to the big city it's too impersonal, too much riff raff and way too much advertising. Just like real life. I recently installed Ghostery on my pc and it's amazing all the spies lurking on other sites. Come here and it's a big fat zero!
We could use a few more GOOD people and more women to make things interesting though.

I like the atmosphere. Don't post a lot, but browse regularly. What I don't like is what happened when UD post here recently, his following of CFOT regulars tag along bring their crap here. I don't visit OT over there because of that mentality, don't need the circus that seems to be there.

Reddit has also lost some of it's luster lately by selling out. It's proof too much a good thing can be bad.

People here are mostly civil to each other and willing to listen to other's opinions without too much bashing or screaming. That makes this place unique in my experience. A larger population might change that dynamic, probably for the worse.

I enjoy the group here, but wish some of the former regulars were still posting. I come here for the entertainment value, the occasional tidbit of knowledge and would rather have it be smaller than full of drama.

I'm not as connected to folks here as some - I've never personally met any of the members here and none of you bastages have ever sent me flowers or candy!

I like wandering through here and keeping up to date, even though I rarely post. Miss seeing DukeAllen and a couple of others though....but all in all I like the small crowd.

I like it the way it is. The more people, the higher the douche ratio.

That being said, I wish you'd stay up a little later at night.
