Never replace a guy like Barry. Thanks for all you 've done Barry and hope you come back. I had a nasty reply awhile back and as mad as I was I just let it go, even though I am stil fuming over it.
Same here..... I just chalk it up to the law of averages and let it go too? I'm sure with all the people on here, different personalities and view points, lifestyles, personal beliefs, religious beliefs, political views,etc   there has got to be someone that I don't care for and visa versa. No different than the neighbourhood, city I live it.
You can NEVER please everyone, best you can hope for is the majority.
Barry if your reading this I consider you a friend and hope you will come back at some point. I always appreciated your humour as well as your Mopar wisdom!   Miss ya buddy!  :sadwavey:

I see folks bail out from time to time & wonder why they take such a drastic action, to many good folks here to just abandon over a minor conflict.
I appreciate the job you do Ross, thanks for the great site.
Barry if your out there wish you would reconsider.

Hey Barry we want you back, this site needs people of your caring nature and wealth of information.   :bigsmile:
The ads are at the bottom and not up each side like you find on many other sites, they can be viewed when scrolled to the bottom and not "in your face" while you try to read a post.
Thanks Ross for trying and keeping this site going it cannot be easy but as you have mentioned everybody appears to be respectful of each other,   :2thumbs:   some sites have some real SOB's.   :villagers:

This site has grown larger than personalities!  It is too good for personal conflict to interfere with all the good work that goes into it by ALL members.  It would not be the same and probably wouldn't even exist without Ross.  It certainly would not be the same without Barry.  We need you both.  Please stop the personality bickering and do what is best for the site and the members.  That would be both of you and all of us moving on and moving forward.  PK

Nope, not vacation.

too bad he did that... if you tell people what your opinion is all the time, you shouldn`t be surprised if the wind blows in your face once in a while...  :2cents:  I hope he`ll be back  :2thumbs:

 :iagree:

If he can take all the BS over on Moparts he should be able to stick it out here.   :dunno:

Before i became a member here i had lurked around this site a few times and saw how much a family all you guys were here and also the knowledge that comes with it just amazed me. Most everyone here is some of the most laid back easy going people there is for a car forum and many friendships have been made even though most of us have never met one another. And thanks to you Ross for all you do to keep this site going for all of us mopar gearheads to have a place to hang out and get advice or help on our cars when we sometimes need it most  :worshippy Barry i hope you come back as well as you are part of this forum with all your knowledge and humor as well  :2thumbs:

 :iagree:  Barry come back!!  :2thumbs:

Jackie stays in contact with Barry from past posts I've seen.

Perhaps Jackie could persuade Barry to come back?  :dunno:
I'll give Barry a call.  :cheers:

I talked to Barry. He said he'd be around but not around here.  :dunno:  He said if anyone needs to get a hold of him. Most of you have his e-mail If you really need to get in contact with him. PM me and I'll send you his e-mail. :cheers:

i probably over reacted which i regret.  barry has been around for a long time and has seen the changes the board is going through.  hes obviously not a fan of these changes and for that all i can say is i personally am doing the best i can.

Well hopefully if we are man (or lady, if the case may be) to stand up and apologize, then i hope we are big enough to forgive, even 70x7.  Offer to buy him some beers, and who knows?   :cheers:

Barry, your wealth of knowledge is much appreciated! please reconsider!
