Code 3 Forum Users, See Also Fireengines.Net Forums

Displaced Code 3 forum users, be sure to also visit the fireengines.net forums. The user experience more clearly replicates the Code 3 boards. We're glad to have you here, and they're glad to have you there. It's all good.

Ah yeah, what about ATEV?

LArry and RichB seem to have a special relationship with C3 however.

Ah yeah, What about ATEV? They're two different boards with different appeal to different people.
Not everybody is into kitbashes, larger scale, or non-fire related emergency vehicles like ambos and cruisers.

Re: Code 3 Forum Users, See Also Fireengines.Net Forums

I post on both boards. Sometimes I get no response here so I go to fireengines.net. I like both boards very much. Both have very helpful people. Just my 2 cents.

Re: Code 3 Forum Users, See Also Fireengines.Net Forums

Look back at the 60+ thread of posts regarding the closing of the Code 3 boards and reflect on the tone of some of the postings bashing Code 3. Why would Code 3 want to direct anyone here?

Everyone has a right to their opinion and, provided it doesn't get too far out of hand, I would not object to thier posting them. I can read and not agree with them just fine. If it bothered me that much, I could stop visting this board. It's my choice.

If I'm not mistaken, Code 3 is a privately run company. If they don't wish to direct potential customers to a board where people trash them for every decision they make, that is their choice.

Just my $0.02

On a side note to Mike - Thanks for assuming the reins to the board and keeping it running for everyone.

Stay safe,

Tom

If I remember correctly, more than a few of the people that habituate this forum were disgruntled C3 posters from many years back and from the way they were treated - rightfully so..the bottom line is basically live and let live.
The end result of this will in all probabilities be some bloodletting, some relief, some getting of a life (my goodness, some definately needed that) and hopefully we all learned a little.
We all (including those that don't collect or kitbash) enjoy these forums for what they are - a sharing of something we are extremely passionate about. Lets do it with some respect..

John, I assure you that Rich and Larry enjoy no special relationship with Code 3. As far as Code 3 goes, they're both just two guys. My opinion, from my personal observations.
