    Hello!
 I know I'm going to hear about this one! Sometimes I even make myself laugh.
While trying to come up with a catchy, memorable name for a bus web site, I thought about it for a minute and, since it was available, I registered this name... We've all heard the term: Watering Hole, Fishing Hole... What about Bus Hole? No, No, No, Read It Again... If you keep your mind from wandering too much it works and it kind of has a cool ring to it after you think about it for a few minutes. I know it's kind of stupid but have you tried to find any name to register lately? They're aren't any left! www.Bushole.com is not so much as easy to remember as it is hard to forget but the outcome is the same! They'll remember it at least. I don't know that I'd have even considered that name but it's a little humorous and it's not like there were any decent names available! And If They Can't Take A Joke, You Know The Rest!
Let me know what you all think about this name!
                                                                  Take Care,
                                                                                  Jeff :)

I'm sorry Jeff, it's a great attempt but there are just way too many very bad jokes coming about the bus hole.

    I Know...
  That IS Precisely My Point! If They're Making Jokes About It They Won't Be Forgetting It For Awhile Either, No Matter How Hard They Try! The Name Still Hits Me Wrong Sometimes Too But I Tend To Look At Things Through Rose Colored Glasses Anyway. Maybe I Need To Try Again... I Still Like MC-8.com and how much easier do they need it to be to remember than that?
I guess I'm thinking too hard but like I said before, there's not many good names left! Maybe I should see if moneypit.com is available! Hi Hi Hi!  If a boat is a hole in the ocean you put money in and a motor coach is a land yacht...
Also, if it cost $175,000.00 in 1975, calling a Motor Coach a bus is like calling the Pacific Princess a boat!
                        Later! :)

I agree with Len, to controversial.

Jeff, I just did some searches and in less than a minute found two available domain names that are very simple and easy to remember .com's.  In the bus hobby, there are a lot of available domains still out there because the automated scripts and the folks in China/India aren't that familiar with our hobby or terminology.

What is wrong with the 6 or 8 sites we have now?

I have no problem with new sites being available but for my needs this site works just fine and is all I need.  I get easily corn fused if I have too many choices lol.

   Hello Again!
There's nothing wrong with any of the sites out there now and I wasn't trying to compete with anybody either. Those sites are great but what if you don't like looking at photos the size of your thumbnail? I'm not going to be stingy with my bandwidth either as long as the photos aren't larger than 1024 x 768! Go to www.drycreekcustoms.com and you can get an idea of what it will look like! Here's a link to "Rachelanne":
http://drycreekcustoms.com/dry_creek_custom_0000be.htm
I have about 500 hours in that site. That's the first site I designed and published after teaching myself how. It's pretty cool but the bus site would even be cooler!  I'd be doing it in honor of the Bus, not to hear how great I am for running the site or doing routine maintence and having everybody making a big fuss out of keeping the site up and running likes it's science or something. I guess some people are more easily impressed than others.
I hadn't planned on having a forum or a chat room either but the way my post was yanked from that "other" site I'm now seriously considering it. Since some people are in it for the money or the recognition, not that I even care, I guess I could be perceived as a threat but like I said before, ***, It's A Free Country. That's why Dallas, old4103, invited me here in the first place. He had liked the MC-8.com idea and said that I'd had some other responses to my post even though they were pulled by that "other" guy before I could even read them.
Why this was done can easily be explained and here's the definition for his problem:
  An acute sense of personal inferiority often resulting either in timidity or through overcompensation in exaggerated aggressiveness. (inferiority complex)
I'm really seriously considering Bushole.com and if that's all it takes to offend somebody I don't want them on the site anyway.
                                                  I'll BCNUL

Hey Jeff,
  I know you were looking for opinions for your domain name, and opinions are like....... well...... let's just say "belly buttons" we all got one. (I personally like the other analogy better, but I didn't want to take away from you domain name!  :D :D :D lolololololol)
  But as far as that goes........... Go For It!!!!!!!!!  It's your baby!!  Maybe it will be cool, maybe it will turn some off. Big deal! If you like it, get after it! I'll at least check it out.
  Oh by the way, I looked at your other site... pretty cool. (But then I like Hot Rods!) But I will say, even tho I have great eyesight, the blue lettering is hard to read. The yellow was better. But hey, just my "belly button"!   ;D ;D ;D ;D

p.s. Don't know nuttin about the other site. I like this one.

Jeff, I like all bus sites each one is different I don't have a favorite now but the Russell site was before it went away and I think information can be gained from other boards some people with a great amount of knowledge will not post on any these boards any longer for one reason or the other.I look forward to the new Eagle Intl board if it happens a place where Eagle owners can go with problems unique to their bus so I say go for your site I will be there    have a good day and a better week

How about the Eagle Yahoo group?

Bushole . . . . . . .
Now I know a better description of what I am!  ;D  ;D  ;D

Go for it! I'd love to tell people to go there.  :o
The name is self explanatory, so that would save time.  ;D

Where do I sign up?

Hightech, the yahoo groups are ok but a real web site with the information available would be so much better for us owners.I like the DD 2 stroke group but lately it's all about installing a 53 series in pickups.And then you have the web site for boats with the 2 stroke diesels totally different and thats the kind of information I like   have a good day
