• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hello Fellow Yankees

Welcome

As a great-great grandchild of German immigrants I welcome you!! Many of us who were born here seem to forget that this is and always was a nation of immigrants. It's still a great country although I just wish more of us would respect it. Glad you're officially one with us!!
 
Congrats :yes: Lets see, a former Canadian, now a Yankee, I guess that makes you Crankee. :roflblack:
 
as i recollect, it's damn yankee down there!:roflblack::roflblack:

:agree: My Great-Grandma Rose was from Scottsville, VA.
She always reminded us that:
:lecturef_smilie:"Yankee", is Always preceded by the word, "Damn"!
(Sore loser!!)

:) Well it is official, I am now a US citizen! I came to live in the US 25 years ago when I met and married my wife and became a registered alien. I have come to understand and share the deep respect Americans have for the constitution and the love of country that is a common trait in all and as such felt I must take the necessary steps to citizen ship. So I am now proud to be counted among my fellow U.S. citizens and hope I am worthy of the faith my new country has placed in me. Yay for me!!!! :yes:

Congratulations and welcome to be US citizen. All of us are from other countries born or naturalized and I always not to forget that the American Indians are real Americans who paid the greatest sacrifice so most of us are Americans. We love this country and we respect who we are and our gift to this country is who we become. JMHO JER a retired navy and DAV.
 
Thanks everyone, it truly is an honor to be called an American! I never knew Yankee was a dirty word! lol.. my apologies. My brother (Canadian) always calls me a Yankee and I always said.. "someday!"
When I started reading the constitution years ago I was amazed that the founding fathers had written such and incredible document over 200 Years ago! And in all that time there has only been 27 amendments which is also amazing. The constitution is as true today as it was when it was written in my opinion bit it is so much more. If you drive down any road in my neighborhood you will see flags flying proudly in peoples yards and I had never seen that to such an extent prior to moving here.

By the way... what is the secrete handshake? lol.....

The Yankee thing has to do with our Civil War. The northerners were Yankees and the southerners were Confederates.

The phrase Damn Yankees comes from a movie musical that came out in the late 50's or early 60's. It was a baseball musical about those Damn New York Yankees. Actually a pretty good movie.
