Good morning!!!!

[newbury]

thanks for the explanation
was wondering if I needed to have a timeout for talking too much...
I agree with Buppies, happy to be an invited guest

Talking would be different.
You tend to go into detail writing about your life. At one time that also involved tractors and associated events. But it has always been interesting and informative as you dealt with life and death.
IF Muhammad wants us to limit our discussions to the workings and the buying and selling of tractors he should devise some strict rules and enforce them.
I have yet to be told what makes money for Muhammad, but I'm pretty sure if he "tightened" up the discussions like some boards I've seen many of us will find our time is better spent elsewhere.

Many of us on the GM thread are retires. At 82 I find this place a great place to share my daily and life knowledge, events and happenings. People come and go. They all came to TBN to share and get tractor information. Then found GM thread. It has got to be close to the longest running thread on TBN. Started in 2011. There is always tractor info and talk going on here.
I think my time is well spent here.

Thank God I have an older brother Ron . . .

I've only been here since 2012, but I think of the GM thread as home. I am not old enough to 'retire' yet (77), but some day I might.

Moved this thread to the front porch forum (off topic) since it's a chat thread. No other change.

Seemed like a reasonable move to me ... Front Porches typically being a place where folks gather and socialize.

Not sure what all the fuss was about (... other than just a reactionary response to change ?) ... the thread wasn't deleted, was still accessible ... ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

So what's the problem ?

I assumed it was a change that aligned with something you were trying to do, in terms of the primary focus of the forum (i.e. "tractors")

I generally use the "Today's Posts" feature to bring up what I want to read ... and since this thread is posted to daily by a number of people, never really had a problem finding it.

That sucks.

Why ?

Keep it where it's been, it's about rural living.

Well, it certainly encompasses rural living ... in that many of the participants live rurally.

Many ... but not all.

But I would say that isn't primarily what it's about for everyone.

Just for a little refresher, Irv's original post that opened the thread:

Just thought I'd start a Good Morning thread. Dry, and headed into the low 60's here in S. Michigan. Have a good one!!

Seems like it was just a way to say hello to fellow TBN members more than anything.

MOVE GOOD MORNING BACK TO RURAL LIVING.

...

For those that don’t know, your marking good posts don’t count in the Front Porch.

Count to who ?

I'm not sure I understand this whole "count"/"doesn't count" thing ...

If I like someone's post it matters ("counts") to me ... in terms of expressing what I thought about that person's post.

If the recipient sees it, it may (or may not) matter ("count") to them.

Either way, I'm good.

The front porch is where anything goes on TBN, usually reserved for political crap threads.

FWIW, after looking at the thread titles in Front Porch, I'm not sure that is actually accurate.

Anyone interested in a private good morning group on Facebook?

No.

Only one thread allows politics. Everything else is normal rules.

Coffee is brewing. 67° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 82° with thunderstorms. Helped neighbors clear a large limb that broke off a tree in his yard. Lubed and checked fluid levels in JD mower. Looking at forecast for today decided to mow back yard grass. If weather guessers are wrong will mow rest of the grass today. No other plans for today.

Good Morning All.
