Old faces in new roles

lowbudgetjunk · Dec 6, 2016

I am not certain if most know the story, but here is a very abbreviated version.

Before JohnG got real sick, he picked Gregg Carey (CHASMAN9) to help moderate the forums. He (Gregg) has been around for a long while and has a pretty good head on his shoulders. RickyB asked me if I would help and it took a minute for me to respond. Gregg is the logical choice and I think I am a bit of a wild card. Due to my love of JohnG and my love of Hardline I accepted the role. I promise to do my best to assist on the boards and will try to help fill some very large shoes that were left behind. I am not perfect and will try not to play favorites. I absolutely love this place and hope all that think the same will stay around. I also ask any and all that think differently, not to let the door knob hit them in the ass.

There are no new rules, there are no special handshakes or cool clubs, no magical back to scratch to get privilege. This is a great community of like minded folks that have a wealth of knowledge and I thoroughly enjoy being around. Please contribute in a positive manner; be it through tech, for sale ads, friendly banter or during forum based rides. Just be a contributor. Trolls are only fun when they make it to level master.....all other trolls shall just be banned.

Welcome to another chapter in the best forum that I have ever been a part of. Help me make all the Hardline Club members, Easy Liners, regular Hardline Members and especially John Galbreath Jr proud.

I think as long as Kel doesn't try to give any more Stoney Lonesome guided trail rides, Hardline will be ok! :rolf:

oh man what a day....

Not my fault all but 1 of us broke for the day. That was an epic fail for a send off ride for sure.

Thanks Kel, those shoes left behind can never be filled and can only hope to keep them warm for him. I still cannot fathom this idea of John being gone, but I will in time and he definitely would want this board to continue in the light he has shined upon for the past almost 20 years. Yah, damn near 20 years for all of you that didn't know. We have gone through a "Metric **** ton" of changes (thanks MattO for that copyright quote) over those years and will continue to grow and evolve with this rapidly changing sport we love to love, and love to hate. While we are experiencing a moderate changing of the guards, we cannot do this by ourselves. This means we still need all of you and your feedback to help this keep this board monitored and running smoothly. There are still a few of us original HLC's around and we will do whatever we can to assure the existence of this forum and nothing has changed as far as the content or direction of the forum, just adding a few caretakers to make sure it runs in the same direction it has in the past, and with that said, please carry on. :dblthumb:
