OK here's a new board.
All we need now is a nice graphic to replace that phpbb one in the top left corner.
What do you guys think?

Yeah I felt bad for you and the one or two others who could never post on the old board. I never could figure it out so I decided to ditch it sooner than later.
Overall I think this board is going to be much nicer.

Nice job, Malcolm! Now that you've got a "modern" forum here, membership will grow - and the "children" will start migrating. Prepare to "moderate"
Is there a "Fast Reply" option? I didn't see one, but maybe I missed it.
Again, looks great.
Mike

New Site
Malcolm,
Looks great, finially can get on. You have done good. Like to see where we are all from and the addition of the for sale/swap is nice. What Mike said about all the "Children" coming to vist is probably going to be a real problem. That's the one good thing about your site, even people wanting to do a 350 Cheby swap got treated with respect. I must add my thanks for all you have done! Great helpful place.

Dave,
I know what you mean, I went to one site that was recommended for Ranger swaps and for your 1st 30 posts, you get a suffix that says something to the effect of "I like S10's" or something like that. I guess that's supposed to be an insult or create rivalry between the S10 and Ranger swappers? I didn't really get that, but whatever...
My automotive background started with the SBC '68 Camaro with a 327. I learned a lot helping my buddy build that car up back 10 years ago.
Today, I own 2 Rangers. They've been really good trucks, but one's getting old & high mileage and I know it's days are numbered. I don't want to trash it so I've decided to do this swap. It's been my dream to put a V8 in my Ranger back when I was working on that '68 Camaro, but back then, the Internet wasn't near what it is today. I didn't have the time, tools, or patience to take on a job like this. This Summer ('05), I hope I don’t discover that I still don’t.
Point is, it's sites like this one that have helped me to research and prepare for what I'm going to have to face when it comes time to quit talking and get greasy. I can clearly see from Malcolm's experiences, a Ranger V8 swap isn't always easy or straightforward. I'm sure the Bowtie swappers have their own issues as well, so I have no less respect for someone swapping a SBC 350 to an S10. It just annoys me that building a 302 tends to cost more than building a 350.
However, I have even more respect for those that have done the work, taken the time to document & photograph it, and posted it for others to learn from as Malcolm has done so very well with this site. Great Job…
Chris

You're speaking of RPS, I assume. I've recently started visiting RPS, and am not sure what to make of it. Lots of guys there who definitely know their stuff, but their attitudes seem odd. They're Ban-Happy, too, I hear. The V8 board at the old fordranger.com was OK, but once they revamped that board, it went to crap. Now FR.com is gone, and I'm not sure anyone misses it, unfortunately.cgrey8 wrote:I know what you mean, I went to one site that was recommended for Ranger swaps and for your 1st 30 posts, you get a suffix that says something to the effect of "I like S10's" or something like that.
Malcolm's forum has always been my favorite - no BS, friendly guys who know what they're doing, and an absence of childishness (if you've ever visited FR.com, you know what I mean). Consistent, fair moderation is key, along with good users.
