Reasonable fellow, even when I wasn't so reasonable to him. Wonder what happened to him?

He may have finally gotten feed up with the state of AOW these days. Last time he was on here was a year ago May.

My ears are burning...and apprently no one misses me. OH well...lol...I wasn't as funny as Oily Oaf, or as doctranaire as Eki. I missed the forums as a hole and I think one of the reasons they are in decline is the populairity of Facebook and most of us access the net now on the phone. Facebook has apps for all the smart phones, as does Twitter. This format for the forum doesn't translate as well to a smart phone.

As for the Indycar board where I hung a lot, it is a shadow of itself also because of the OWR forum but I don't go there really anymore either. I was here and there, and found myself inthe same arguments over and over and maybe got bored...

I think I watch more racing than ever. f1, Indycar, Sportscar, NASCAR....I watch it all....and maybe spend less time arguing about it. I do think I miss this board, but my surfing habits are different now.....but it is interesting reading this thread, and seeing what has happened to some familiar names. I didn't know RacefanStan is no longer with us. Sad...

You're wrong. I was thinking of you and about to mention your name. Then I checked if you changed your name and saw that you still posted in 2013.

Now it's time to cool your ears.

I don't understand. If I like this place and to talk to you why should I care about how I access it?
I think those who don't come anymore either have better things to do or are bored with our company.

Try accessing the forum and posting/quoting/replying in an easy way - not really a good experience.

A lot of folk access the net and forums on the go now, so an app or browser that works well with this forum is essential, and is not available for all devices.

I get bored with my own company!
