What ever happened to ModMech? He used to post on here all the time and usually had some pretty good technical input. I wasn't really active on here for quite a few years so I wonder what happened to many of the people on here that used to post. My guess is that many retired, but I guess it's just a point of curiosity.

| Don't know about Mod but WolfOr left the school bus field. Not sure about any others. It would be nice if we had access to a better profile. Like years of experience and age and such. I know many may not want to share that information. I'm still hoping that SBF can improve the forum. They had talked about it several years ago but nothing came of it. |

We haven't seen much of the "Admin" either they used to just post whatever was on the home page. I agree its time for an update to the forms. |

| Yeah, that's Nicole. I've talked to her before, they have a pretty small crew. I think we are getting along pretty good by ourselves here but I would like to see some improvements. The FB page you are talking about, is that SBF or what? |

What could they do to improve it? What makes the forum is the people using it no? not the people hosting it?
Hope it doesn't move to FB, we are blocked from there, heaven forbid making it easy for us to get info :) |

Hi, everybody,
This is Nicole, one of the School Bus Fleet editors. Just checking in and wanted to respond to your recent feedback here. The web department for School Bus Fleet and several other publications is still planning some changes. I wish I could provide more information at this point. I just wanted to check in and let you know that I have relayed feedback to the web department, and the department is working on it.
Meanwhile,here's an article on a recent Blue Bird product immersion tour stop that you may be interested in: http://www.schoolbusfleet.com/news/719902/blue-bird-brings-new-bus-showcase-to-california |

| Thanks Nicole! You have heard my thoughts but for torque and others here are some of my views. One major improvement I can see would be ease of posting pictures. It is a chore to post them now using photobucket or what-have-you. Being able to respond like, thumbsup or whatever to a post would be nice too. A profile picture would be a plus as well. I do like that there aren't a lot of advertisements here. If they pertain to our field, then I'm good but just random ads would be a turn off. |

| And I am not saying the site is bad by any means I love The Redesign of the site it is very nice. I know they are very busy with every thing else going on. It is a wonderful place to come to learn what is going on in the industry And discuss problems others are having and how they are resolving them. |

Spicer is nicer. |
