Well forgive me for not posting much as of lately I have been working 12 hour days 5-6 days/week. So I apologize for not being more active. Ever since someone got their feelings hurt over historical facts and references I resist replying or posting of anything. I feel like I have alot less Liberty now here. Just my nature. If I'm not helping then I tend not to share or respond. Not out of fear of getting banned again. Only out of respect to Gary and the other great people here that I admire and respect. I hope that if this forum ends then we can get together and share our contact information with those who might want it. There are a few people that have left this forum that I still stay in contact with by phone and/or email. And networking is one key to survival.
I will be heading back Arkansas to the family ranch in Texas this weekend where my new to me bus is and will document it best I can.
I am grateful to Gary for all that he does to maintain this forum for me and others. I hope it does not go away. There is so much shared information on here that I truly hope to be able to go back to it throughout my build. I'm also hoping that I can help others through my challenges ahead. Thank you for being yourselves VDF'ers ! David

American Nomad Patriot,

I've just read your post and don't understand why you would think that Garry is going to close down the forum? As far as people leaving, people come and go for a number of reasons. I personally was one of them, At the time of joining the forum i was going through my green card process and i had spent over $7000 to get it the legal way and one of the stipulations was to not get involved with drugs, prostitution's, the wrong crowd or non government affiliated groups that were or would do harm to the U.S. During my attendance on the forum there was a lot of hemp or cannabis talk and even though i don't care what others do and the fact that i understand that most people use cannabis for pain relief. I didn't want to be associated with the group, not because i didn't like the people or anything but mainly because i didn't want to have my green card rejected and to be separated from my husband. So I asked to leave the forum and have my account deleted but at the time Garry being the nice person that he is didn't delete my account so i left. But now the forum is safe for me to come back to as there's no more talk about the alternative pain relief. Others left due to politics and others for other reasons. I know it's hard to accommodate everyone all of the time. And to be honest I'm not technically minded nor do i drive but i love the people here and only comment on non build topics other than that i'm lost.
