Icehouse Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 After 4 years! Well I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, "What is the point of a club that doesn't do anything?" In the 4 years I was a club member, I tried to recruit more members, I got a few people to go, but overall everyone's final response was "It's so boring, do they ever do anything?" So last friday I told them to invest a little more funds in the web page. They said "Why spend more money on something that doesn't help the club?" I told them that's the reason I showed up. It basically didn't go anywhere, they ended up yelling at me so I left mid meet. FUCK. THEM. I've done more in the last day then they do in a year! I don't plan on starting a club that meets or anything just yet. I just don't really want to post on their forum, like they would ever know either way. Maybe this forum won't break every 5 seconds. Now, to get some members :) 1 Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 it is true, the NWDE forum really had nothing to do with the people that attended the meetings. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I know I really want to stay on the NWDE forums because of the members, after the few years I've been on there I've grown to like a lot of them. I just HATE the redmond club. I'm gonna put my attention towards this page. I'm sure I will make appearances from time to time. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Hainz doesn't seem to be posting there much anymore and if I dont' post that forum will practically be dead... (hehe) :cool: Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 That's the truth. I tried calling hainz yesterday but he didn't answer, maybe he died...... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 That's the truth. I tried calling hainz yesterday but he didn't answer, maybe he died...... Maybe he took a lethal shower and is now taking a dirt nap.. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I think the whole nwde deal kinda ended it for him. He had been talking about giving the forums a rest for a couple of months. I guess it was just time. Quote Link to comment
Jason Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I think the whole nwde deal kinda ended it for him. He had been talking about giving the forums a rest for a couple of months. I guess it was just time. It wouldn't be same without Hainz posting away Jeff, I love the way he lays into the nutcases! Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 yeah I miss him to... There was huge scene on NWDE, All I have to say is it was similar to Lum vs. Kevin Neely. except is was everyone vs. Hainz, he hasn't been on any forums since. I think everyone was sick of his shit. Most of the guys on NWDE are over 40 they are really serious about there projects, and he just had to give them shit one to many times. It was good and you missed it hehe Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 OK, I can see quitting the club (they mostly seem to eat and race). But the web site is OK. The worst thing about the Club is they don't seem to interested in Datsuns generally speaking ... only in what they already got. I like this Web site so far, it has more Datsun 1200 posts (percentage-wise) that NWDE Forums :) Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 They are a bunch of fuddy duddies, when I first installed my SR ,I popped my hood at the meet and they couldn't even guess the engine!! O DD we will have tons of 1200 info, with your help of course :) Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I feel responsible..at least partly..for Hainz's dissappearance. Hopefully, I wasn't the only reason he left. Heck..if I was...he can have nwde and I'll come over here :D .....hey...I heard those groans!!! :mad: Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 You shouldn't leave NWDE, you are very loved there, you are here to :) you shouldn't feel bad for hainz leaving, I think someone was bound to say something sooner or later. I know I'm very happy to have you here. Hint hint NL project thread :) I know you have a lot of projects before the NL but hey I'm a little excited to see and read :) Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I also was sick of the way the forum would delete my posts and I could hardly update my profile. GTzilla that first set up that 'updated' forum hasn't even been into Datsuns in a couple years since his divorce... :( he was a cool guy Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Thanks...I'm glad to be here. Oh...when the NL build starts....I'll post it all here. The nwde guys can come find it here if they want to check it out :) Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 So there NL man, when you getting started? I'm sure the Iceman and I could spend a little time out there helping! Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yeah me and bleach can carpool down to steves then ride over to mikes for a weekend of NL fun :) Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 sounds good. I'd like to go to Oregon again... we should take your 510 so we have room for me to bring some ladies home Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I didnt even know that NWDE was a "Club" I just thought it was a web site forum. I just want to go to a site where I can hear about Datsun meets, and gatherings. and somewhere I can ask questions about my trucks and people will willingly help me out. And besides you guys are a kick and I look foward to going to the Datsun meets this summer... Quote Link to comment

And besides you guys are a kick and I look foward to going to the Datsun meets this summer... Its a very inactive club at that, maybe 2 or 3 none datsun related activities. Its kinda funny I wish I would of quit and started a different forum years ago. :) No it was great meeting all you guys :o Quote Link to comment
fat chapman Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 if anyone says anything bad to you jeff the knucks will come out! Quote Link to comment

I tell you what Iceman, I'll go easy this year and keep it down to two women. ok? I'll set in back with the two ladies. You can bring your 510. You and Holly can still ride up front. see, I'm a reasonable guy Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Y'know, there's 2 sides to every story. You've only heard Icehouse's side. Since this new snazzy board is here, that makes the NWDE board redundant. I've noticed most folks have bailed already, so the only question is, should I redirect folks over here first, or just switch the NWDE board off? No use making it harder on folks, having to monitor 2 boards. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Wow Doug, I'm surprised to see you here, happy though :) I couldn't believe my eyes when I checked the forum this smorning. You are my favorite NWDE true member, and to have you here is great. Yes there are 2 sides to every story, I bet there would be 3 if you got Gordans wife was in this conversation. I think the best thing I ever did for nwde is quit, even though I was the youngest member, basically the future.... I don't realy want to get into to details, mostly with you, why would I want to be mad at the one NWDE member I like. I juggle 2 or 3 pages when cool threads are going on, I'm sure you could to :) datto pages don't go all that fast for the most part. Thanks for joining buddy :) Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Doug, please leave the NWDE up for a while longer if you can. Even though I'm a lazy butt, I'd like to actually go back and pull some of the articles I wrote and use them for my website. I took so much time typing those up but never took the time to put it on my own website! :) Quote Link to comment
