Default Corporate Announcements

Is it just me or did the corporate announcements section of the forum disappear a few days ago?

Anyone know why?

Rod Overstreet informed us that he will no longer be participating on this discussion forum. And this particular sub forum was set up for Rod...

He requested that all of his posts on the forum be removed, along with his account...

After that was done, there wasn't anything left in the corporate announcements sub-forum. So I removed it from the display...

Very sad.... Rod was so good to us. He will be missed.
His participation in the forum is one of the things that made me appreciate the GasGas company.
I loved that the brand was small enough to interact with us on that level. No other brand could claim that.
I am however, glad to see them move forward and grow.

I'll especially miss his.... direct.... answers. He always called the shots the way he saw them

I can see why they would decide this from a business sense. But I will miss Mark and Rod's input here.

Thanks for the answer Jeff. And thanks for all your hard work.

Well then I offer up a massive thanks to the GasGasman and Jakobi.
Always a pleasure to hear from either of them, and their knowledge of the brand appears endless.

Stubborn. Very well said. This is a small, close community and brand.

I would have "Liked" both these posts. Lol

Thank you for the kind words both of you.

We're in for a long cold winter. Lets keep this place rockin!

Doesn't get that hot up my way! Usually get into those mid 30C's but couple em up with some 70%+ humidity and it's all fun and games! The cold bevvies always go down a treat though!

Cheers for the kind words everyone. To be honest you blokes are pretty much self moderating. I can't say I've had to do much more than address the occasional double post or something that's been dropped into the wrong subsection.

While we're all giving reach arounds I'm going to kick it back at Jeff with a big thanks for continuing to host the forums for us! It's a thankless task at times.. but he should know that we all appreciate the effort he makes on all of our behalves.

Late to the party, as usual, and just saw this. Thanks to everyone who makes this site possible. Also a thanks to the forum members who keep it fun but rarely let things get out of hand.

I had the pleasure of meeting Rod at AIMExpo in Columbus. Really nice guy that has helped me a few times. While it is a bummer he won't be here I'm very confident in the level of technical ability exhibited by our forum members as well as our dealers.

Weather is starting to warm up. Life is good...
