Guys

I have been helping moderate the largest F150 Site for a few years. Back 3 or 4 years ago we ended up banning a few bad apples and they all congregated at a local site that was around at the time. That site degraded into what some called the penal colony. Many of them were so wound up in the fact that they felt they were mistreated that they never moved on to talking about Trucks again and the site has faltered because of it ...

This site is Davids baby - He can run it as he sees fit. but since I'm doing all the heavy technical lifting and its in my server - I thought it was appropriate to share my story...

Doug

PS Im amazed that this has gotten started so quick

That be cool.........

I am hoping this will be a PROWLER site, while still allowing its members to have some fun.....

I see your point and well taken, it will take a while for everyone to blow off some steam, anyways if you go to the other site and go back to their beginning it was extremely heated and hateful, me being one of the very pissed off, so,,,,, what I am trying to say is sooner than later Prowl talk will settle in and take hold. And no way is this place is as bad as the other site was in their beginning. JMO

WOW, just noticed Spellcheck and it ballistic compared to others I have used, thanks Doug/David,,,,,,things are getting better everyday

Doug,


As you and i have talked in link about this site and if there even was a need for one as the prowlers are no longer made and the other sites had most of the areas covered..however as you can see a change of weather was needed and so here we are...this is a place for old prowler pals to come and relax and enjoy spending time with each other and shoot the bull....that was no longer the case at the other place....I and most everyone here wish no harm to anyone or other site we just wanted our own corner on the net that we can call home.....

this site is going to be around for long time with your help and everyones input....

Doug,
Didn't know an F-150 site existed! I have a '99 Extended Cab w/a $10,000 Kustom Kreation Pkg...some have told me it's the prettiest truck they've ever seen! Bought it NEW on my 55th Birthday: Nov 15th, 1999 and love it. It's only the 2nd truck I've ever owned...the first one had serious problems...I think it was a '78 Chevy S10. It looked nice but NEVER ran right! This F-150 is a godsend! I love it as much as evil elf's Prowler! Been a GREAT truck. I tested all the biggies at the time: Toyota, Dodge, Chevy, GMC...and I kept going back to the Ford cuz I just liked the way it drove. Hard to explain. Can't imagine ever NOT having it now!
