This message board seems to be turning in to a place where the dealers are pushing their products,when it use to be a place where operators could solve problems and vent their frustrations.    Money talks......bulls--t walks

It still is and you can do a search and see we have helped thousands of people including sponsors. Any operator can post and ask for help and we get them the help they need. Dont get all mad because a few sponsors who have every right to post, do just that. We are all one big family.

 Like a one stop info shop for all things pumping related. Operators, Equipment, Parts, Advice, Employment opportunities, new and cutting edge industry related technology, Safety do's and dont's, Experience, support. job stories. pump pictures. on and on and on.... Would not change a thing here, Keep it up Todd

Actually Bisley, I've noticed and thought the same thing. The board is becoming another advertising marketplace. Leave the ads on the sides and banners. The board needs to be for discussion, not sales. After all, ads for operators are not allowed on the board, only in their selected spot on another page. 

If you look at the top left you can see MFG Message Boards, these are correlation of post made by the Manufactures. The issue here with your complaint is that everyone things the message board is for them and when someone else uses it they feel bothered or offended. This is an industry related message board for operators, mechanics, owners, suppliers and manufacturers. I think we can all get along.

Maybe have a special message board for guys who complain about the manufacturers posting here, a place for guys who cry about everything from hot mud to low pay to the bad weather.... a "special interest group" of pre-madonna operators who just need a hug.

^{Hey in the past Todd has caused me of being the pesimise ha ha but really I like hearing about new builds or products or what expert has a specific skill set. Other wise some half of the chat is the same old scratch your dick story. Brian}

 Hey Todd,what makes you think that I am mad?I dont get mad at such a trivial thing such as this board.After 30+ years in this business the only thing that makes me mad is leaving my lunch bucket at home.I am glad that you are successful in the business of concrete pumping and happy to see you have plenty of sheeple looking out for you.
