• 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.

who remembers these two

It's amazing that we've been able to get this old!

Cars with no seat belts.
Cars with no child seats.
Skateboards and bicycles with no helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, gloves (or even shoes sometimes!)
Riding in the back window or floor of a car.
Riding in an open bed of a pick-up truck.
Playing far from home without adult supervision.
Walking to school.
AND BB GUNS! :yikes:

Don't forget drinking from garden hoses, swimming after eating and running with scissors! Ah it was so nice to live life on the edge!!:yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

I shudder today to think my two year younger brother and I, at ages 11 & 13, used a chain saw to cut down dead pine trees and then used the saw below to cut them into wood stove size blocks for our winter heat. Not much of a guard on that saw. One slip up and it would have been instant curtains! I really think that the realization of how dangerous the saw was is what kept us from screwing up.
