Fred,
Very many GMCnet regular members do not use the forum software at all, and
can't see pictures that would be posted there. Remember that GMCnet is a
mail list that is mirrored on a forum and vice versa.
I agree that the photo gallery (GMCMHphotos.com) is cumbersome, especially
on hand-held device. But it is permanent and not subject to commercial
ownership decisions.
Rick "noting that our photo hosting site is there because commercial
hosting sites have come and gone and taken our pictures with them" Denney

Fred,
For the most part we're a bunch of old curmudgeons sitting around a pot bellied stove in the local store telling yarns about our
GMC's.
With all due respect every so often someone comes along with the suggestions you've made below and we all go "ehyah" as they do in
New England.
I may be speaking out of turn but I reckon none of us old timers are interested in taking up the mantle of upgrading anything other
than our GMC's.
I laude your efforts to learn as much as you can about them before you buy one, however, once you do acquire one you will quickly
learn how much time, effort, and bloody work it is to get it into shape with enough reliability to drive it cross country.
From where I sit BD is too damn busy doing work resuscitating GMC's which from where I sit is more important that taking photos and
publishing them.

at some point it I think it would be in the best interest of all GMC owners and prospective owners to upgrade/modernize the forum
software with the ability to host photos on the forum.
autoguide had been buying up all the existing automotive forums at an alarming rate and I think since this one doesnt qualify for
their model, its probable someone will develop one that does with intent to sell it to them or perhaps they will start one directly
at some point.
it will happen, just a mater of time but I'd rather see the national GMC club or some other owners group do it instead of a data
collection outfit.
as much as the PTB want it to be, facebook is no substitute for the greater internet. and many do not and will not participate in/on
facebook.
but will somebody please get BD a camera and an easy way to post pics here?! he's always upto his ears in the good stuff. lol

Fred, I don't see why you couldn't copy and paste his stuff - or whatever's here - into a new thread if you wanted. It would be a PIA and of little value unless you kept it updated... but if it means a lott o you it's doable. It would be polite to ask him first.
