Skippy Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I’ve no idea what all the previous forums were like that you all talk about. All I know is that this forum is like a breath of fresh air compared to most of the other over-sanitised forums. I mean, where else can you refer to someone as a cnut and get a round of applause? Keep up the good work Pete........................... ........... you cnut 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel a bit offended you dint ask me what I think of the forum.... But I shall love it any way! Last time I was in a Forum was in 2007 at the triumphrat thingy. There was a lot of arguments. I also follow from a close distant PistonHeads, met a lot of people from that one. Was a very big and busy place, dont know if it still exists? This one feels cozy, reminds me very much of a lot of things I love about the UK, things I miss a lot, so thank you! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six30 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 This forum is like a house where a dog has pissed and shit every where for months and instead of cleaning properly perfume or air freshener has been sprayed every where to try and cover the stench .... you can smell the perfume/freshener but its not enough and the piss and shit smell is slightly stronger ....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m told the triumph forum is a bitchfest, a friend left there the other day, it was constantly negative. Pistonheads is still very much alive and kicking I waded through 12 pages on there in august about garage flooring. Pistonheads has some useful info.

I followed it and met many people at the Nürburgring that were on there. Went to a few gatherings of that one and yes, there are many people on there with immense knowledge. But forums were full of egos and it was tiering... This one is cool, even when I dont understand it!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 The way I think about forums has always been this: I'm not the boss, all I did was upload a bunch of files and this thing came to life. Nobody asked me to.....I just did it. So how does that make me anybody's boss? I just see myself as the compere......the one who keeps the show moving! I don't even show Admin in my profile because AFAIC I'm just a member here like the rest of you. Occasionally I will login to the Admin account and do something that needs to be done.....but that 's it. This mentality of forelock tugging and sycophancy to the Admin that you see in other places just doesn't sit well with me. In fact I'm very uncomfortable with it. Also, what is different about this forum compared to previous ones and other forums out there is that we have no Mods! My reasoning was this: The nucleus of this place is comprised of members who've known each other for nearly 20 years. Why do they need to be policed? They know the score.....just behave as you would in real life. You don't need me to tell you what's acceptable or not. And if things start to get a bit edgy here between members then just step in and help to deescalate the situation as you would do in real life. So in effect.....you're all Mods! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll retain it this time round with the likes of you and @Swagman here! I agree, I shouldn’t have won anyway given how much of an ambassador of goodwill I have proven myself to be. Bruce still looks like a peado though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
