Getting too OLD here - I reckon

Well - Its about time I slow down here on the populous Forums Threads and start just reading things and remember the good ole days... I like most others on here always follow NEWEST POSTs which lists all of the forums. Since all of my experience has really only been with TENT Camping and FOLDING TRAILER POPUP camping and alot of off-road trails sleeping in a sleeping bag under a big engulfing large bush...

It seems my long term association with the operations and design of Portable Systems and Emergency Radio Operations keeps getting me into trouble when some of my comments...

Guess it is time for me to only provide comments with the tent Camping and Folding trailer camping forums. The salvation here is there isn't much conversation on-going with these two threads...

Therefore I will be toning down on my comments here on this Forum and most likely you all will only find me making comments on the POPUPPORTAL forum...

Being retired and actually in a camping stand down at the present time until I can afford to get my new battery bank up and going again I still will be doing my daily routine of monitoring this Forum including the JAYCO Forum and the POPUPPORTAL forum along with a couple of Ham Radio forums, F150 Truck forum, and my family and Professional followers on-line through social media... Should give me a few things to do when I am not sitting outside under my big tree in the back yard watching all the road traffic go up and down the neighborhood here... I will probably end up like the old folks you see sometimes sitting next to the road and waving at everyone as they go passing by haha...

Its been fun trying to stay up with the newer bunch and their new toys... Hopefully I have helped a few folks along the way...

I am still here just won't be saying much anymore... Time to let go of the torch so to speak...

as we say on ham Radio 73' and CUL

  • I have been on the forums longer then you and I'll bet I am a lot older then you, and I think in the past year or so the forums have really calmed down.
    A few years ago I left here because almost every question I asked was met with a sarcastic response, but that seems to have changed

    The " around the campfire" one here is as bad as ever with the moderator changing anything that doesn't suit him unless you are one of his pets.
    I have a good friend who won't go on it because almost all his posts were deleted by the moderator because he disagreed with one of the mods pets posts

    I would stay on and don't worry about others

    Also check out "The RV forum" the moderators are excellent and most of the posters are good people

  • RoyB, I think that you should reconsider about not posting on all the forums. I for one, will miss your "haha".
  • Don't let folks bully you off the forum. I just read the exterior lights thread and I for one appreciate someone who doesn't spout the "it's better to ask forgiveness than permission" rhetoric. Keep on posting - it's nice to have folks who actually camp on this board.
  • "Operations keeps getting me into trouble when some of my comments..."
    "I am still here just won't be saying much anymore..."

    Can't remember if I've disagreed with you...and so what! I don't want just to read comments that agree with me. Reconsider backing off your posting. The newer bunch might be older than you believe.
  • Sounds good to me. I know just how you feel - we retired guys have some weighty decisions to make. Retirement is the best job I've ever had.
