Hi guys,



It seems hard to believe that it will be 6 years ago on January 31 that the website went online. I just looked at the total hit count since that date and we are within a hundred of being 245,000. I can't help but think about something that Bob Martin said back when the site first went up, that "This will be the crossroads for Y-Blockers all over the world." I thought he had gotten into the moonshine, but he was a prophet! Thanks to the forums, the site continues to expand.



I know that many of you have noticed issues with some of the functions of the forum and I have been aware of it too. The guy that set up the sequel server for me has disappeared, doesn't return e-mails, answer his phone, etc. So I have been looking for quite some time for a good developer that can get things cooking again. I am not a developer, and that is what is needed to get javascript cooking properly again. I think that I have found our ace in the hole, and he has been looking at the javascript coding and so with any luck, we may get full functionality soon.



Thanks again, it has been a great ride so far!

Congrats Jim, AND thanks a million! Unlike Bob Martin I never thought this would be that much of a go, but I didn't care because I found info I need and like interests. And boy, have I.

Thanks to this website my interest in my bird was rekindled by all "the latest technology" here.

What realy amazes me is how many new Names I see pop up on a regular basis now.

I really do think the resurgence of the Y has happened. It's "new" territory for many out there.

I want to add my thanks and appreciation to you here Jim. It's more than I had hoped. Lets not forget Bruce Young and Y-Block Magazine that brought a lot of us back on the path the Y's. That sort of led the way to all these things that are happening now. At least it got us aware of the worlds passion for our favorite engines, and people! And thanks to all who post (and lurk) here! You guys make it the greatest source for all things Y-Block (and more). Chuck in NH

Thanks a million Jim.  It's been a great ride for me.  But has been stated, it is all about the people.  Even though there are different opinions at times, they do not develop into flame wars.  God bless you.

Jim ,



Congratulations on 6 years.



What would we all do without this site??? At the push of a button we can tap into a vast wealth of knowledge that would take 3 lifetimes to learn. With guys like Ted & John as our backups (plus all the other regulars) we can rebuild any motor around the world. It doesn't matter if someone is having trouble with points in Alaska or a carb in Nebraska. There is always someone wiling to help. That's what it's all about. The Y-Block Family or the Columbus Clan, call it what you like. It's the BEST site there is.



Lon & Lynne
