Hi all,as i have time on my hands(out of work) i have been looking through some of my posts.It strikes me that i have always asked for help and advice on all manner of things.Be it car related or personal and i have always had great reply's,from kind thoughtful intelligent helpful members.But i have not really contributed very much, to give help and advice to the members who have helped me.This is not a conses decision but i don't know much about cars,and i have ballsed up a lot of thing in my life.So who am i to give advice on life, problems and decisions.But i just wanted to say i do appreciate all help and advice,you good folk of oof give me.And if i can ever help any member out in any way i would willingly do so.Kind Regards to you all Dean. .

[STEMO]

Bless you, Dean. Hope things pick up for you soon.

[Bigron]

Almost without exception we re a very friendly and helpful bunch: the exception you might have noticed today on another topic, someone who is intent on souring the good atmosphere of the forum. For what reason I cannot even imagine, but who can fathom the workings of a deranged mind?
Anyway, I agree with STEMO's sentiments here - good luck for your future. 

Ron.

[Doctor Gollum]

Nowt stranger than folk...

This place is indeed a fountain of knowledge and support, and long may it remain so

[Andy B]

....

Agreed ..... 

  I've just agreed with Dr G   

[Doctor Gollum]

I believe that might be twice now

[Bigron]

You are forgiven for that indiscretion, Andy; after all, I actually agreed with STEMO!

Ron.

[Andy B]

I believe that might be twice now

You sure? 

 

[New POD]

I second that emotion. 

There are 3 forums where KNOWLEDGE is FREE and (usually) Correct.

www.mk2cav.com
www.autoshite.com
www.omegaowners.com

Modern BINI forums are the exact opposite - The best advice is SEE YOUR DEALER

Don't worry about it Ron, we forgive you 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Dean, I seriously doubt that Ive given you any thoughtful, intelligent advice, but your post was nice to read.

Thanks Nick,that is very kind of you.Dean.

[BazaJT]

A very thoughtful and well put post,along with others I hope things pick up for you soon

Modern BINI forums are the exact opposite - The best advice is SEE YOUR DEALER

I'm single handedly trying to turn the main UK Jag forum (well, the current XJ section) from the "only a dealer can be trusted to work on your car" into something far more sensible. Boy, its an uphill struggle.

[TheBoy]

Moggy, I agree this place is a fountain of knowledge, freely given, that has helped me when I've got stuck with my cars, and not just the Omega.

And I've made many personal friends through this place as well.


Long may it continue...  ...certainly all planned costs for the next 3 years are covered, so we should at least have that long

[STEMO]

A few of the old boys on here might not be around that long. 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Speak for yourself. I plan on being around at least another three years, although I may be sat dribbling by the sunny window with a lump of potato stuck on my chin, wishing I had a mobility scooter, and no memory of what an Omega is. 

[Alnico Blue]

nice post that Dean  ( I missed it yesterday  )

I have been on here under various guises for something like 9 years  ( may even be 10)  so don't take too much notice of my post count    & have always enjoyed it . I have not found another car forum like it.

Plenty of good advice from very knowledgable people , and  not only on car issues.

Long may it continue     

[deviator]

This place is a gold mine of information and not purely Omega related. I too feel in debt to this site and have previously offered to chuck a few quid into the pot, but my offer was politely declined.

I'm happy to keep coming back.

Thank you for pointing out how offensive Stemo's and Doctor Gollum's posts were in that thread.  Unfortunately we cannot view the thread now.

They were plainly trolling as their responses had nothing to do with the topic being discussed and were merely gratuitously obscene comments which clearly broke the forum guidelines.

I believe this is why the entire thread was deleted - the moderators did not like Stemo's and Doctor Gollum's offensive behaviour.

[STEMO]

Tell me, Jonnie Boy, did your mother drop you on your head when you were young? It would explain a lot. 

[Doctor Gollum]

Nope, won't bite as it defeats the sole point of this thread...

Also reported.

[Bigron]

STEMO, it is pointless arguing with someone SO delusional as to think that the miscreants were you and DG. I may not always agree with you, but you have good intentions and don't normally take banter outside of being friendly. The person in question is toxic to the Forum and should be removed - Admin, please?

Ron.

No comment....once the fist of the X260s come out of warranty (September), it will be interesting to see what happens to that section!

No, Ron. He's good fun on a slow news day 

[Bigron]

Yes, ok to extract the Michael Bliss from, but look at the reactions and bad words he invoked from others, spoiling the nature of the Forum. That's what I meant by "toxic".
The Forum is precious to me and many others; I don't want to see it ruined by demented, delusional people.

See him for what he is. A distraction to be ridiculed/ignored/pitied. He is, after all, just a newbie, and he certainly livened things up on a quiet afternoon yesterday.

I completely agree. 

Once members stop posting gratuitously offensive posts the forum will be a much better place.

I think the tone has already improved - which was always my objective.

And I hope he has nothing to sell, his postcount seems doomed to stay in single figures.

Trolls respond by ignoring what the person says, and insult the person.

Decent members respond to what the person says.

You might consider rereading your last post. Slowly and aloud.

I'm what's called a selective troll. I only troll dickheads. 

[dave the builder]

This thread seems to have gone OFF TOPIC

which is unusual for this forum 

If Mr John-Ha wants to argue with you all, perhaps it would be better done on a new dedicated thread

let's try and get it back on topic

It's a great forum and very helpful 

[Bigron]

Exactly what I was thinking, Dave; it's a long way from being grateful for the Forum and all its friendly ways.
Let's not allow ars*holes to spoil it - one bad apple can do that, so best to remove it?

Ron.

[tigers_gonads]

Moggy, your one of the most genuinely lads on here and we know you've had a bit of shit to deal with recently.

You will always be welcome on here mate and I know myself and other members will always help you out in anyway if we can 


You know were we are 

Steve

[Bigron]

Amen to that.

Yes, the X260 section looks like it’s in need of a reality check

The X351 seems to be full of those happy to spend hours detailing, but unwilling to look under the bonnet

[moggy]

I have to say,i am a little upset my thread has gone downhill.It was simply meant as a thank you to all on oof. Dean.

A thread going off topic is not only to be expected, Dean, it's compulsory. 

[Doctor Gollum]

And by all but one, it has been received as such... And your original sentiment is very much a valid one

For all the back chat and nonsense, this place does two things exceptionally well: Omega life support and general life support.

Long may both last, although the Omega's days are probably numbered
