TRS has been getting a lot of support.

Jim Karnes from RangerPowerSports emailed me about what has happened and offered to help out if we had any issues or questions about Vbulletin.

I remember the good 'ol days when it was just TRS, RPS and fordranger.com.

I've been figuring out Vbulletin as I go, but I appreciate the offer.

Thanks Jim!

Thanks RPS! Appreciate the offer. Even a few people at RRORC who are not exactly fans are looking at this and seeing the larger issue.

Thanks RPS!

It's a danger for everyone that has a message forum when your host can claim ownership of it

Wow, the old FR, now that's old times right there. It's good to see the support for the vehicles. Each site has it's own personality, but we all love our Rangers.

FR.com basically "died" because the "owner" didn't want to switch to a forum format
and it was basically impossible to maintain a coherent conversation with the people masquerading as members hundreds of empty posts, etc...

So people just stopped going there.

those with 4x4's and essentially stock trucks went to the combined TRS/RRORC forum, those with primarily street truck interests gravitated to RPS and many frequented both.
