Yahoo Groups Alternative

[Jeannie]

I agree with JBP. I use outlook and have a couple of signatures defined for the various groups. I get individual e-mails on my WillysTech yahoo group and this 6066_GMC_Group. The other yahoo groups I just get digest mode in which I get 1 e-mail with all of the mails for the day. Can this new format provide that level of integration or individual e-mail mode?



I agree I do like the new format however as JBP states as time goes on, the topics grow and make it hard to find stuff.



If I can get the e-mails from this new format in individual e-mail mode, I am ok with it. I can still do a search if I need to find something so the mail format would be my only format as I do not use the web interface unless I am traveling and connect to “yahoo groups” but I could do this with the new format.



I am ok either way if the above criteria can be met.



P.S. I would still me a member even if it can’t.

Scott,

I'm collecting a list of people here
http://6066gmcclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47284

that want an email every time a post is made and I'll work on making that happen. For now every member in the club will receive a daily digest around 4-6pm with posts for the day.

I am a member of the WillysTech group which is dedicated to our beloved Willys Jeeps. I have 5 Willys jeeps from the cj-2a, cj-3a and my favorite 53 Willys Truck. This includes any and all Willys jeeps no matter how they are powered. I think what set this group apart from the 60-66 chevy group is that the unique big block which is what started the group in the first place. I do believe that we could still have the same great banter regarding the v-6 no matter what they are powered with. Many would like to re-power their trucks with later more modern drive trains which do make these trucks more drivable. I think that the group could have both.



Just my humble opinion.

The club forums are alot more fun in my opinion, much easier to use and chat on.

I strongly agree with Rick, furthermore this is the "only" GMC website that promotes the preservation of the GMC V6 therefore it should remain as such! There is a real uniqueness in these trucks as they are the last of the real GMC powered trucks. Jolly formed the 6066 Chevy site for the Chevy guys after this site was founded. To David Dewey you got it all wrong as there has never been a problem with owner's of 60-66 GMC trucks powered by other engines afterall Canadian models of those years were Chevrolet powered. The problem comes from those who want to replace their V6 with a small block Chevy 350 which many do and that doesn't need to be discussed on this site. As far as I'm concerned the small block Chevy V8 is a major national obsession and enough is enough. Just about every automotive magazine from time to time has a build up on one, people want to see other builds.

Peter,

We are and forever will be dedicated to the GMC V6. What Chris was asking is if we might have a small section on the forum where people could show off their other projects. The direction of the club will never change. See the forum here to see the section in question:
http://6066gmcclub.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4

It's a very small "sharing" section at the bottom of the forum.

Thanks to all for voicing their opinions with such strength; it shows the dedication we all share for the engineering that made the GMC V6 series possible. My current ownership of this I6-powered Chevy in no way should suggest a diminution of my love for the GMC. It's clear that we love the trucks as well as the engines; we don't just display the V6s on engine stands after all! I posted two pics of my Apache in the "Other" section, and I think most GM fans will agree it is a fine and worth preserving example of what GM was doing during the '60 - '66 era. I had to sell my '61, 305V6-powered 1002 when finances forced me to, and the first opportunity I get to replace her, believe me I will. But, as stated, I'd hate to not be a part of this great group of people just because I currently don't own a V6-powered '60 -'66.
