Just bought a set of these because I know I'm going to own a Third Gen someday...Biggest safety hazard with these cars, by far! Wanted to grab a kit before they were gone.

I always thought the biggest safety hazards were the unenforced t-top windows and Non-collapsible steering columns.

Not at all. 4 star safety rating and no airbags. Little tanks. They even have side impact door beams. The only other cars from the 80's with that shit are Volvos.
My goal within the next five years is to own a 1989 Turbo Trans Am. 3.8L Turbo Buick V6 (Same as the GNX), white with tan seats, Indy 500 pace car decals, just straight up boss. Only 1,555 were built. It's about 15 grand for a good one. I'll put it under classic insurance...I only owe 3 grand on the Mustang as of writing this. There's only $1,200 of upgrades I want done to it on top of that.
I've wanted this car forever. It's my third favorite car ever - it's sister car, the GNX, is my first.

What can be done with a 3dr forums account I lost password to and email is gone also? Or is it not worth it? How is the activity there? Better than a ghost town?

I have the same problem and I've contacted 2 admins and 5 moderators about it, no luck.

What did they say?
I once contacted admin(after 2009 obviously) to unban my first account and he said he'd look into it. I didn't receive any reply afterwards. But I had my "main" account active, so I decided not to bother further.
The stupid thing is that I can succesfully reset password on my banned account. I can even login just to see I'm banned.

Only people I know still post there are Damien_Azreal and Bryan3DR. Don't know any other moderators or admins who work the forums. Moderators can only lock threads and such. Don't think they can do anything about resetting passwords or getting someone into an account. That's an admin job, AFAIK.

I hear that if you visit the 3DR forums at the dead of night you can hear Duke Nukem crying.

I've been using Reddit a lot lately!
Should we change our forums to have the same layout as Reddit comments?

The software upgrade is still coming, but we ARE using the license you guys paid for currently. My wife got a lot sicker than she had ever been previously, and that has lasted since January on and off. If someone wants to help with the actual work of theming the new version of the software, that would speed things up a LOT. That's what's really holding the forum upgrade back currently... I didn't like how the theme I was trying to do for the new version was coming out, so it never got finished (and I didn't have the time to start over from scratch again).

It's a Duke4(ever) site upgrade. It's done when it's done. Ask again in 2025.

Yep. It does it all the time. This is one of the things that was supposed to cook us in 2012 according to doomsday sayers, but like always, the sun flared, and nothing happened. Our atmosphere is like "COME AT ME BRO!"

I'm willing to help as always, just teach me what I need to do.

What kind of answer is that? Do you know how many types of sandwiches are there?

Five awesome points to whoever remembers this from 3DR or AMC forums.

Why the hell you didn't say so earlier? Cause I was somewhat surprised that we chipped in and forums were still running some warez.

What knowledge is needed on this matter? I'm not a programmer, but I know a thing or two about administering stuff.

I think not. No avatar, no smilies, no ego bar, no votes .... way too cold for a gaming forum

you are all keyboards
why does a keyboard even think? what makes rocks and minerals do the things they do from our input
a keyboard can't fathom what is putting input into it, so how can we possible imagine or even think there is no keyboard input beyond us the mere thought is ignorance at its finest, acencd to the 4th and to be contained by time or consequences its like your the mapper with a load and save who can play all the variables and still never be happy
i think the universe started as a junkie on happiness and tore itself apart in the big bang forever chasing its tail in a never ending pursuit of happiness which fuels pain which fuels happiness etc etc

Fair enough, loovs. 
I also want to upgrade the front page (Duke4.net) to use Wordpress and have a much simpler design. That is, if RedSplat is up for doing a redesign.
