OT POC Forum

[greg g]

Not that there is a great deal of traffic over there on the official Plymouth Forum, but has anyone else noticesdhow long it takes to load and how slow it responds? It almost acts like its connected through dial up. 3 or 4 minutes to go between posts, and jsut now timed out and killed the connection.

I just tried it and it is much slower than usual. Takes my computer about 15 seconds to load and the same to threads. Not much traffic on there at the best of times. Good info but nowhere near as much as on this site.

[TodFitch]

It has always been slower than this site. And it has been much slower than normal recently. Seems like the back end database is slow to respond, at least that is my impression based on error messages I occasionally get. I'd say that the machine it is being hosted on (or where the data base is which might not be the same computer) is overloaded.

maybe the people over there read slower!..ok ok..I'm on timeout in the corner

I gave it up a long time ago. I appreciate the desire to keep everything original, I really do. I'm trying to do that as much as possible with my own car. But it can't compare to this site in terms of resources and people with a lot of knowledge. When someone at POC gave me a snooty correction on the meaning of the word "restore," I called it quits.

You sure that was over there??? That seems to be Don C's job, and he takes it pretty seriously. And in saying that I wonder how I should refer to my Studebaker project, I'm thinking rejuvinate, or reconstitute, and perhaps if you kew your vehicle had some trouble in its younger days you could rehabilitate it........

Greg;

Your South Bend Vibrator must be an overhaul job as I do not have a clue what that means nor do most people who use that term.

Restifacation would best describe what you are doing I think. Somewhere between restoring and modifying. Restore means bringing it back to what it was. Don's car would fit the restifacation category I think.

I've told people that what I did was "put it back on the road".

[Joe Flanagan]

Did you say that on the POC forum? I'm surprised nobody came back at you with a strict definition of "put back on the road" and told you why what you're doing does not qualify.

[RobertKB]

The POC will loosen up in time. New members will join and some of the older ones will disappear (as in die off) and the overall mentality will be softer. Yes, its primary purpose will and should be to promote original cars but they will also welcome other cars that have basically original drivetrain but other modifications as shown on this forum (disc brake kits, dual carbs and mufflers, radial tires, different upholstery, etc). I doubt hotrods will ever be welcome but that is not their reason for being.
