Interesting posting on Cobra Forum - I guess from the posting that they are shutting down as of tonight... I'm sure everyone else knows this already but it was news to me....

Al, what are you talking about?

That's a shame. I used to be a member, though I mostly lurked. I enjoyed reading Meat's posts, he could jerk those chains.
It seems to me that Cobra Forum was screwed by some of their members, I have from time to time surfed the new FFR Forum, but I never was a big fan of "CJ's"(not Cobra Jets or Jeeps

).

Rick,

Check out the posting on the Forum under "goodnight Gracie".

S.fried,
I was also a "lurker" and also enjoyed Meats tirades and long winded postings... He sure could spit out some information on short notice....

Catch ya later

This link will be inactive as of 4-1-03 at midnight when the site slips into oblivion. Maybe Meat will post more of his whit and wisdom here now? Hope so!

Ernie,

Meat was banned from this site.

casaleenie · #9 (**permalink**) 03-31-2003, 07:50 PM

Goodnight Gracie,

Neal,

You have to expand on that... Probably via e-mail...

Excaliber · #10 (**permalink**) 03-31-2003, 08:01 PM

Neal,,,your kidding right? Meat banned? Well,,,maybe your not kidding? What happened? He is an outspoken rascal, but I like him.

Good Grief.

Well, if it's an April fools joke he's got everyone wrapped around the axle.

If it is not, ffcobra did not ruin cobraforum.com. Everyone's "pal" did that with help from a few hangers on.

After reading Mike's "Farewell" e-mail to Dave Smith I'm not surprised he didn't return it. Really.

I just checked....

The Cobra Forum is no more......

Time 10PM MST.

Sorry to see it go....I can remember when it was the only place on the web to talk Cobras....Then again, I remember the original framed version....Must have been there a long time to remember that one....

Sincerely,

Bill S.

I know some liked "Meats" tirades, in my opinion which is worthless

he alone caused the demise of the Cobra forum and for whatever reason Mike placed a high value on his friendship

Excaliber · #15 (**permalink**) 04-01-2003, 07:51 AM

SO,,,,is sombody gonna send me an e-mail with the meat of the controversy surrounding the demise of the site? Or, heck, just spill it right here? I can take it!

I ran into a couple of FFR owners at the FFR meet at Sears Point a couple of months ago; they no longer used the cobra forum site at all--the stated reason was, your pal. They both said they were instead using the ffr site.

TT

Excaliber · #20 (**permalink**) 04-01-2003, 09:12 AM

OK,,,I see where meat really blasted the FFR site for editing posts, deleting posts etc. He states it is really a FACTORY site cleverly disquised as an individual "forum" and it does not tolerate any negative FFR statements. His comments regarding ClubCobra are also somewhat deragotory, at the same time, are somewhat accurate. I see Brent has taken big steps to correct some of the problems by "down sizing" the "Lounge", and this is good (it was getting out of control).

Meat speculates that many of the items found on the FFR site were copied (with or without permission) from the CobraForum site. Hence, the "tension" between the two competing sites that led to the demise of CobraForum? I don't see a connection between Meats postings and the demise, but what do I know!

One thing is CLEAR! As a "group" of Cobra lovers WE are to hard on each other. To hard on C.S. and just TO damned quick to pull the trigger on others in general. I've crusied ALL the Cobra Forums out there, without a doubt this is the BEST one. But it's far from perfect and much of what Meat says about us is true.

Group hug, lol.

Ernie

EDIT:
The one thing I REALLY like about ClubCobra is the "hesitation" of the moderators to "moderate". This IS a free speech site. Sometimes I WISH they would just DELETE some outrageous post that really pisses me off, but there very reluctant to do that. In the end, that is good, it's the American way. It is why our Nation sends troops to fight and die to protect it. But man do I hate when someone uses their "right" to shred some other player by shooting their mouth off without thinking.
