Here ya go Damon... Its a little thing that I did about CHEVRON
http://oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=81688#Post81688But to answer your question, I think one has to look at another recent post.
http://oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=314435#Post314435Recent happenings here at Oldgas, seem to be all about values and sales. It seems that little has to do with the hobby in general. There is a certain commraderie (sp?) here, of the older members, that has recently been polluted and contaminated by "pickers"... These people, ask an opinion, then get offended by an honest answer. They get offensive, and defensive, to the answers that they seek. Because of this, a lot of the vetran (sp?) members, have either left, or just dont participate much any more. The dickering, and bickering, is just annoying...
Then there are those, who choose to use Oldgas as their own personal "photo blog" or "personal page", and bore us with their trivial dribble about their morning walks or whatever... Some member even post in CAPITALS, special fonts, or even colors, all of which is very irritating.
All of this has caused a lot of members, to no longer participate, or at the least, limit their participation here.
There were many "Of the Month" threads here at one time, but with all the negativity here now, who wants to contribute?
We had a thread here, about Colorado Oil Companies. I posted a few pics, only to have them stolen by "picture pirates"... So I no longer post many pictures... See Paddys recent post.
http://oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=314342#Post314342The brotherhood is dead! Oh, there are some who will deny this, but there are more who would defend this... IF, they were here with us still...
Some of us hang out here, just because we LOVE the hobby. Some of us hang out here, just because we hope that things will return to what this all was, just a few short years ago...
This comment is my own opinion, and not that of the Administrator, Moderators, Watchdogs, or other members. Though I bet a lot of members agree...
