did anyone else experience a lot of nonsense trying to log on to the old FE website? my tolerance for nonsense is short so after wasting a half hour or so to get logged on i just closed my account. do these idiots think that they can push us to these intolerable limits or is it just me?

Nope, not just you, I quit going over there and posting several months ago after I kept getting e-mails every time someone responded to a post. It is not worth going to because there is no real FE information being given out, only trash talk, and some who have to add their two cents to every post. Just easier to stay away. Joe-JDC

I'm getting the ultimatum to migrate all of my Net54 login info to Tapatalk >:(
It's probably best for me to just lurk there occasionally. I'll keep posting here!

This place is good, thank you Jay for seeing the handwriting on the wall...
-
Ditto. I lurked, posted a few times. Got that ultimatum and figured....nope.
I'm on another forum, but it just asked if you want to use Tapatalk. No demanding.

I'm still on the FEForum and tried to sign up into the new method, BUT , they are trying to force me into a TAPaTalk membership and unless I get one of the methods looks like I'm out of there.
Wes' Facebook forums are hard to follow with too many misunderstandings so I rarely go there. I know Wes and have been at his place a few times but his forums seem out of control.
I'm glad Jay has this on a good tragectory.

I try to visit the old FE Forum every so often but not the same as the old site in any manner. This spot is much better for what most of us want to see and hear.
-
I thought when the forum was first taken over, they said everything was going to be fine, ya right. I went there to see what was being done and had no trouble logging on at first. The last week and a half I can`t log on at all. This week I can`t even read what's happening unless I go to the bottom of the page and click FE forum, then I can see whats happening, BUT I still can`t log on. So I guess the hell with it and keep right here and Facebook lurking.

I bet not one person here remembers who it was that warned about getting involved with an entity owned by the Chinese. Over and over again. Who was that?

It had to be 65Billgal or TwistedcrankCammer (Gordon). HaHa.
Felony you've been too tame lately to foresee and forecast something as such.

Lately, but not when N54 was transitioning. I did homework on the Tapatalk Corp (owned by people in Shanghai) and spent time on the phone with Mr. Sprowl trying to get Anthony to adopt an independent platform like this one. But noooo way, not happening. I tried.
Look at how the Chinese operate. They steal virtually everything they can, they treat their own people like shit, and they stick to nothing they agree on. What a surprise they are data mining and tracking everyone on Tapatalk. I called it then and nobody paid attention to me, as usual. And there you have it.
I also tried to get mod privilege for an Off Topic forum, if Anthony had gone the right way. What a riot that would have been for the few that have a sense of humor. That it didn't happen is a tragedy second only to full Global Thermonuclear War.
-
I'm believe I'm still a moderator there but I haven't been able to login lately. Tapatalk doesn't recognize me but it used to - WTF.

So Bob, you know Anthony better than most. What the heck is going on in his head? Does he really even care about his forum?

Lets see if Lance (428kidd) a new moderator there chimes in. He is also a member here.
Lance, HenrysNephew and I are members of a not so secret FEHoarders Society, We even have a secret handshake. only it's digital.

Hehehe. A hoarder's group ain't diddly without me involved. I Laugh Out Loud. Here's my response to you... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9QEAtcz3o8

Tapatalk sucks... but in signing up it is managable. Many of us are on both forums, Wes' and Dave's pages plus others. Jay's is definitely the nicest, no hassle experience but the focus is the FE racer and every once in a while a guy looking to pep up a 360 with no concerns of original. There is a lot of technical information here but rarely is there much in the way of history of FE cars and the details of them. There's nothing wrong with that but I check in from time to time and otherwise look elsewhere. Because of this I'm hoping the old forum can survive but Tapatalk may just be that unfortunate final blow.
-
+1 Dan, you hit the nail on the head. I tend to lean more towards original FE parts and cars but like it all. So hopefully the FE Forum will survive but not looking good. We did pick up another good moderator who has already taken a big step in the right direction with one that made the site less appealing on a daily, if not, post basis.
-
Nice and peaceful isn't it? Lol That whole deal is sad but even at our local anything goes two day swapmeet that individual's actions got a mention from one of the handful FE fans to visit my space. Every Ford show including the Boss cars get together after Columbus someone brings it up. I just want to talk old Fords without all the drama.

Of the various forum formats, like the Clubcobra.com one the best.

Any know how to delete your info and posts from the taptalk FE forum ??
Ricky.

I made the TapATalk transition without any trouble at all.
The FE Forum is my home. It will continue that way 'till the end of that forum.
If you want to see the build of my Comet straight axle deal, it will be on the FE Forum just cuz.
That said, this forum is just fine. I go here just after I go to the FE Forum. I indeed like to go to both forums and make fun of light-in-the-loafer resto guys and those who quiver in fear about cutting up their beloved "classic" Ford and Mercury products. UG!
So, carry on. By all means go to the sites you enjoy going to.

I occasionally checked out the old forum after the switch. Even logged in a couple times, just don't like the layout of it now, plus the pushing to "donate" for add free. I just tried to log in last week and couldn't. Got 'strong armed' by TapACrap a couple months ago and passed on their force tactics. Guess I got booted then. Oh well.
Tommy, I'll be hacking a hole in the trans tunnel of my R code here soon. That should make your day..lol
-
Hey Doug, are you going to the Beaver on Thursday or Friday? I gotta contact them and see whats up with the camping at the track. Garry
-
Garry, I get there on Thursday. Typically stay at the hotel though, then show back up at the track early Friday. They've always opened the track on Thursday before, for early comers. Hopefully that won't change.

Im 100 percent with Dan, and Greg. I also agree with what Felony had said before the first change over. Having that said here we are and I don't know what to do . I like this form a lot, and thank Jay for what he has done. The old forum , like Tommy said is kind of my home. I would like to see the old forum on a independent format like this one. Having that said I migrated to TapaTalk with no real issues. I Have no excess emails or robo calls. If there mining for info I like cars, woman, and middle of the road booze. Nothing really to gain from my exploits. I have tried to get some order to some of those that abuse the forum as there own bully pull pit . Hopefully when he returns , not from my own hand but his, he will realize that it is not "His" forum and will post normally. I guess we shall see. I will be honest with everone here, I don't like a lot of the Tapatalk stuff, but I find it manageable. To Joe , you can edit in your account to what you receive notifications about. I don't want to take any thing away from Jays site or what he has done for this forum or FE in general. I would like to ask anyone interested in doing so , id like to see the old Forum grow and not die out. Thanks guys and any way I can help let me know!

Don't care for Tap-A-Talk, won't load the app on my devices either. There are better choices for hosting IMHO. I'll hit the fuel systems forum, but the rest I just forget about.
