This is just my opinion, Tony is still sleeping and for that matter, he doesn't speak for me. I think, since the no politics and religion, I have started reading every post lately and have found Stovebolt very interesting and relaxing. Information even a woman can understand. The stories keep me coming back. The way it was before, I would not even go to the lounge. Boring opinions and stuff I didn't have any idea of what they where talking about.
Why not leave things the way they are. Make ALL off topic , like sports,kids , Christmas shopping , etc, go the"Hey Joker". Tony could even call it "Off Topic Only" post. That way we are still all in the same "room" so to speak. It's just that we don't have to go there if we don't want to. If someone posts a joke or story that is untruck related, Tony can delete it and send it to "Off Topic Only" section. Simple and already set up.
As far as Ebay goes, if I found something on Ebay that I wanted, I would be mad as hell if all 5000 Stovebolter saw it and wanted to bid. Some ebay "scams" and outrageous items are fun to see, I say post items that you think would be of interest, just don't post your own.
The SwapMeet has worked great for a lot of guys. If you would just take the time to see how it works. You must have a separate username and password for that site. If you want to find an item, just use the search for the guys name or the item you want. Simple.
I say, let's back up and use what we have and make it better. Everything will be black and white, simple and truck related or if not, go to Off Topic Only for a joke or personal discussion.
