Why the name change!?!

Tripper · Jun 2, 2017

I guess you've noticed I changed the name of the forum to Undead Sleds. I've been wanting to change it for quite some time as I think it reflects the way I'm feeling these days. I also felt it would be better for the future of the forum & after ten years I was ready for a lil change. Everything else will pretty much stay the same!

Gonna change the URL too? [S

I like it. In 10 years the meaning of a rat rod has kinda of morphed into something that doesn't represent what many of us drive or build.

No, I have both URL's. RRR is the main one & Undead Sleds is just redirected to RRR.

My feelings exactly! I was a big beater fan back in the day & spent all my $$$ on preformance parts & never had the money for a real paint job. I ran most of my cars in primer & especially loved red oxide primer! I was also a big sleeper fan & loved smoking guys who thought they had a bad car because they had loud mufflers! And everyone knows how I love to pick on soccer moms... haha!

Does the name change mean I'm not building a Rat Rod anymore?

Yep...the term Rat rod now seems to mean anything the "Builder" has laying around is used and safety is a term not used!

I like the new name! Congrats on 10 years Mr. Tripper!![cl

Jeez, for a bit there I thought the RRR site had been jacked by some creep in his moms basement

It's just a name after all, maybe a good idea since the use of the term "Ratrod" has been so diluted of late, getting applied to some real piles of poo that could give the real rodders a less than stellar image..

Sam_Fear · Jun 4, 2017

I don't like it at all!!! Instead of typing "Welcome to RRR!" I'm gonna have to start typing "Welcome to UDS!" That's three different keys I have to hit instead of hitting the R key three times. What a rip off!! [ddd

Works for me. I like it

Skip · Jun 4, 2017

Call it whatever you like. I'm just glad it is alive (OK, Undead) and well. [cl

ssimpala · Jun 4, 2017

Pretty cool name.

soltz · Jun 5, 2017

I agree it's time for some change, the name has been abused a lot of late.
Thanks Trippers[cl
Sam, don't you have a secretary to do that stuff[S

I like it because I can't say my R's.
Wat Wads Wule was hard to say.
