I am Tom McCloud and I started and own and operate the forum.   I wanted to thank all of you who have been part of it and the life of Darlene and I.  I talk to, text, email or chat with at least one of you almost every day and it is always a bright spot.  

When we started the group Darlene picked the motto of Friends Helping Friends and that could not be more true.  I cannot begin to tell you how many people have been helped by you.  From people who were injured and needed a friend, to people broken down to just those that needed to talk to someone.  Thank you.

I looked in my phone directory and i had over 120 saved contact numbers of newell friends.  and then there are the foretravel and other coach friends.  

I keep in touch with the newell factory management and they are appreciative of the help we give each other as well.

we have had so many of you stay at our home and we enjoy it a great deal.  i have been able to help alot of you and then in turn be helped in working on our amazing rigs as well.  

Darlene and I started NewellGurus in 2012 and the time has flown by.  I often get asked if folks can contribute to the operating costs and the answer is NO.  I have never and will never ask for a single cent from any of you.  Our son Scott handles the server work and I and my amazing fellow admins and moderators take care of the rest.  

I have often heard that NewellGurus is one of the most pleasant and nice forums people have used.  We watch closely and do not allow any contension or harsh words.  

You'all are amazing and we appreciate your friendship and support.

Thanks again

It's been about 18 months since our latest security update, so I updated the forum to the latest and greatest MyBB version 1.8.37.  It shouldn't change much, mostly security fixes.  Let me know if you see anything broken!]]>

Oracle (our server provider) did some updates that inadvertently maxed out our CPU and RAM causing a sporadic outage over the last day or two.  

Then... I attempted to update our country blocks and made it block everyone.  Everything should be fixed now.  We currently allow connections from North America, Portugal, and France.  Countries are being added as requested, but everything else is blocked to fight fake accounts.]]>

Also, any new posts in the last 18 hours or so may have been lost, so be aware of that when you can't find what you're looking for.

Just a quick update from your system administrator.  I recently (about 2 weeks ago) moved our DNS to Cloudflare for a couple of reasons, but it primarily blocks some of the spam our phenomenal administrators, Clark, Michael, and Forest, have been fighting.

I also have blocked all Tor traffic (What is Tor?).  This shouldn't impact any of you, but if it does, please let me know and I'll work with you.  

If you're experiencing any issues with the website, to include registering or general goofiness or inconveniences, email us at Admin@newellgurus.com and we'll sort you out. Please be patient if you encounter issues, we do this for fun, and my old man (Tom) refuses to accept donations. Ya'll couldn't afford me anyway. This forum really was started on a whim on a weekend and it still stuns me the community it has become.

On a different note, if you want to purchase Newellgurus for $100,000, you can contact me directly.

This has been a tough year for many of us, with lockdowns, businesses closing, some permanently, deaths and hospitalizations and personal losses. But we are resilient and I for one am looking forward to what 2021 will bring. 

Today is a day of joy and celebration. To over 2 Billion people, today represents the ultimate gift of Jesus Christ. I hope that to everyone, it represents a day of joy and friendship, a day of appreciation for the many wonders that surround us, and a day of togetherness, even if only by Zoom or Skype or Facetime. Today is a day of peace and love.

Please rejoice with Georgia and I. You have each contributed to a community that puts others first and pride last. That is a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas.

Today is one of those days where i am just astounded and grateful for what Newell Gurus has become and the incredible friends that Darlene and I have gained because of it.  

When Darlene, Scott and i started the forum over 5 years ago I had no idea of what it would become.  It was to be a place for me and my buddies to exchange information and help each other.  

It has grown beyond our wildest dreams. To be honest, we really didnt have any expectations.  we just created it to fill a need we had personally.  We have traveled all over the USA meeting gurus and seldom a day goes by that I dont get a call or message from one or more of you.  Many of you have been to our home and we loved having you here.  Many of you have had us at your home and we treasured that as well.  


We have mourned as some of our guru gang has had challenges or passed away.  We were happy as many of you shared the good things in your lives with us.  

Thanks to each and every one of you.  I know many of our forum members are silent and dont post much.  We welcome you to share your experience with us.  there is so much to learn and the more friends we have the better...

The past 5 years and a bit have been incredible and we are proud and super happy to have you as our friends.

Please stop by and visit us.  we have 2 full hookup 50a sites out back.  

as always feel free to contact me anytime.  

life is good

thanks again
