I forgot that this place existed

I like the move to FB private chats. It eliminates the desire for control by eliminating mods completely. Those of us who just wanted a place to cut up and chat as if we were all in the same room got just that. No fear of one person complaining to a mod who in turn locks the thread because of one lone voice with his panties in a wad because someone said "Trump" or "Gun". If one of us has an issue, we have live access to vendors...if the answer gets lost in the noise and you can't find it...ask again. It's a live conversation that goes on pretty much 24/7.

The way I see it, this way everyone is happy. Those who like big brother monitoring and keeping everyone in check according to their own compass, get just that. Those of us who like to chat with friends without a "hall monitor" have our place. Everyone wins. Life goes on...and locked threads are a thing of the past.

... only "private" from mods and other normal Joes but not FB and the other 3 letter government acronyms :-)

And yet we can say "God" there without causing an uproar.

Anyway it's not about privacy as much as it is just being allowed to hang out and talk like men and women as if we were at a meet. No minder in the corner to satisfy, no subject taboo.

We have some of the best and most well respected vendors in our super secret invite only private chats to hang with and even Zach DeLorean pops in every once in a blue moon.

It's basically what off topic should be here. In any event, we are happy with it, you guys are happy here, everybody is happy.
Win/win

You can say that word here too, as long as it is cussing and not in reference to your Lord and Savior. :-)

I get that and appreciate it. Just so esoteric I had no idea it existed.

Zach is the best. So honest. No filter.
