just wanted to add my thoughts

I'm not sure what the debarcle at the start of the year was - I must have missed it and I think I'm glad

I've never been to some of the meets yet but I may do one day but time seems to run away with me (always something to fix). 

I find the forum an enormously useful source of information and banter and try to contribute when I can.  I wouldn't try to change things - they work well to me

on odd occasions i seem to have posted the wrong thing in the wrong place and the admins have moved or deleted without much explaination.  that left me a bit " ruffled" but then I look at it like this: the admins put in their time and money to keep this going and frankly i'm grateful to them for doing so, its not for me to offer a word of criticism or complainr to a willing volunteer but it is for me to offer a word of thanks. 

let's just focus on the positive aspects of the forum and if there is some bit of it that is not to our personal taste well, don't focus on that.  overall its a great place

I agree with what you say here mate, but Fairness needs to be Paramount.

I'm certainly guilty of that 

From my point of view, moving shouldn't be a problem, as it should, I hope, be obvious why its moved, and we normally leaves a link in the original location so you can find it.

Deleted posts, yes, I'll have to hold my hand up  . IMHO, I think its obvious why I've deleted them, but could try harder to understand that it may not be obvious to all  .

However, in my defence....

I've moderated or run a fair few forums now, of varying sizes and popularity.  However, nowhere more than OOF have I had so much abuse sent to me in PMs.  It doesn't particularly bother me, as I'm big enough, ugly enough and thick skinned enough to get over it, it does sometimes make you want to remain anonymous after moderating a thread

Well I do try.

Must say I'm surprised at that. Didn't know things were that bad.

Further to that its a good job I'm not a Mod because They'd be banned

[Darth Loo-knee]

You would be suprised at the PM's and people hitting the Grass button complaining ..... My eyes were certainly opened

[andygrumpyoldman]

As a newbie I find OOF invaluble, I love just reading random posts. I think it's so good you dont realise what you have here, it's a pity more forums dont live up to this standard.
No matter what club / group your'e in there is always a group of whingers and mumpers.
Don't let the ba*#$rds grind you down.

[mike213735]

I would have to say that OOF can't be all that bad.

I was here before, left in a moment of stupidity (sold my omega, got another one, sold that and so on) but now I'm back....and in another Omega

Thanks
Mike

[feeutfo]

...mumpers

Yeah Andy, break em.


...mumpers ... I like that word. Mumpersmumpersmunpers. Pmsl.

Your the guy started that other forum iirc ... Why did you feel the need to do that by the way? Just wondered.
