Dear Members of 
, old and new,
As I sit here on this dreary Thursday evening, and browse this pathetic excuse for what was once a thriving board, I'm left to wonder what is the real downfall of the SiSOffroad forums. The answer is a simple one. It isn't overbuilt XJ's or drift trike endeavors gone south. No, it isn't "adulting" or falling out between friends. And it certainly isn't the social media titan, Facebook, that so many of us want to blame. You wannabe amateur porn stars ready for what it is? I'm really going to blow your fucking minds here, so sit down, tighten your seat belts, slap your wives and listen the fuck up!
It's us. It's me, it's you, a lot of it is Ryan Lunning's pathetic excuse for spelling. We are the reason the forum is no longer an active piece of our lives.
Look at us, every few weeks someone comes on here and decides to attempt to make a throw back reference thread or beat down Fred further than he already is. And while I am sure many folks from SiS Yesterdayear appreciate those attempts, the only thing they do is serve as an occasional reminder that we were once all friends.
Do I like most of you? God, no, but that isn't the point. The point is, we used to be able to come here and share the shenanigans we got into, share the newest addition to our jeeps, the newest pictures we took, and generally just have a good time.
Is the Wallingford crew partially responsible for reminding us old folks that our time in the offroading world is nothing but a distant dream? Yes, fuck those guys.
Is Confetti Fruitloops/Matt D a true testament to what perseverance, bad money management, worse time management and a bad idea can truly bring? Absolutely!
Am I glad I don't have to read more worthless updates from:
Shane and his twisted political views?
Evan and everything he ever spewed on the boards?
RJ...in general?
Yes, yes, yes!
I digress, I get it. We got old.. some of us already were...I'm looking at you Patrono.
We work careers now. Careers that were once going to fulfill our dream rigs, but then life hit hard.
We own houses.
We own spouses.
We moved out of state, I'm looking at you Patrono.
Doug passed away.
Caleb touched his first booby.
So what? We can't get out and wheel Mabell every weekend anymore. We can occasionally still find the time to go on a trip or two there or elsewhere locally. Fuck you, I know it's illegal, but no one reads the board anyhow, who cares?
Do you mean to tell me that all of your lives have become some mundane, so painfully boring and routine that you have nothing exciting going on? There is a fucking show about a Christian family that just keep popping out boring children... 20 fucking kids and they HAVE A DAMN TV SHOW.
If that is really the case, then you all need to step back, you all need to really look at what your lives have become! I'm disappointed.
I could sit here and write an open letter for days. A cage match to end all cage matches, but let's get right down to it... I know you're all waiting for...
Hey, Gen Willtile,
How you doin' buddy?
This is your baby. I hope I'm not too off here when I say that we, the SiS community, were a huge stepping stone in your career and happy to be. I am happy that you were able to turn your passion into a career. Actually, I don't give a shit. I want to be invited to the golf tournament and I want you to setup a race in your backyard for the wraiths. You ugly bastard. Help create shenanigans. Help show the people that you haven't given up on the forums. Facebook will NEVER contend with what the group had here. This part is serious, if this is all Nicole's fault... Facetime me and blink twice. We will work through this.
Maybe you should have never killed the Exalted and Smited, Will... Just maybe some of us lost our souls that day. Maybe you should update the fucking videos that were made in 2008,9,10...etc etc. Show you care, inspire the new folks! Design a hoodie that doesn't make us look like KKK members!
All bullshit aside, I am going to issue a challenge to all of you guys. If you really give a shit about keeping SiSOffroad forums alive, find the time to post up a reply or topic. Do two a day, maybe three! Stop spanking your tiny wankers for long enough to read something interesting. No, Zach, I'm not talking about your stupid fucking haunted graveyard. Stop refreshing your Facebook homepage to see what retarded ass political shit has floated to the top of your cesspool wall. Stop liking pictures of Jeeps on Instagram and thinking, "boy, I sure do wish I could do that like I used to."
I am certain that with minimal effort, we can have a live forum again. And if not, well, don't blame Facebook when the most active SiS thing you've done is "like" Will's check in to an airport and some bathing suit picture of some hussie that used to sit on the cock of a fellow member.
Sincerely,
Always your pal,
Riot
