my area of ohio got over 28" in Feb alone, it's all gone now had some warmer days, frost still in the morning , maybe a little snow coming monday, but only a slight hope not. my winter bill is killing us.

I saw a 98 sporty 4x4 w/108000 on it asking $4200, mines a 01 my body looked a lot better, mine's a 2wd, would use the 4x4 only in winter, it would need a lot of work, but they did not know it lsd or not, don't have the money to buy or fix up. so it's a no go, sliding with a 2wd and stock diff not fun. o-well.

this was a great site but now it is quite <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
people must be afraid to say anything <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> or is it a protest due to hydra and the other guy being kicked off <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
i understand the reason for it but permenant for hydra <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> is kinda extreme maybe 1,2,3,4,5,6,months or whatever would be more acceptable. with the stern warnning of it can and will be permanent. but this is my two cents <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
well hope people start responding soon or there is no reason for me to check up on here to see whats new. so far looks like nothing <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
and im not putting down (damkia)-(axe) or anything so dont take it the wrong way. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Not taking anything the wrong way. Perhaps a brief explanation of what exactly happen is in order so we can get past this.

First, I do NOT enjoy having to throw the ban hammer. But if someone is warned about violating the rules and continues to do so they leave me no choice.

694442 (Rick) is now "unbanned". As promised his timeout ended on March 21. But he has chosen not to return to the Wire even though he is more than welcome, as long as he controls his language.

Hydra (Mike) will not ever return. When the issue with Rick reached a decision point Mike wasn't even involved. But then he decided to stick his nose where it didn't belong. Initially he was also going to be given a 2 week timeout. But then he escalated the issue with things that took place in the background and weren't visible to the group. That quickly changed the timeout to a permanent banning. And he has done some things post his banning that have simply reinforced our decision that it is permanent.

That, in a nutshell, is what happen. I will not go into the gory details to save the mentioned individuals any further embarrassment.

Need a Spot
so i got the sporty stuck in some ruts today seems the guy that made them had bigger tires than me <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />. had to have a chevy pull me out <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> in the middle of the night. it was that sticky clay mud that makes your boots weigh 50 lbs too!
anybody have a good spot to hook a tow rope on the front to get towed out? i have a steel pipe in the back behind the bumper that i used to get pulled out but not much up front
