stop it, you're making me reply in general chat - falsley building up my post count and making me look like a knowledable Omega hero ;D :D ;)
-
Flipping heck. it's only a number, just like my birthday, and I dont pay attention to that either.
-
Zero my post count if it makes you feel any better, I am here because I like the forum and I get loads of enjoyment from it.
Totally irrevelent to me.

i tend to look at the titles too much i think - when i first joined i had a lot of respect for the barons lords etc but have come to realise it only means you talk a lot ::)
back to general help for me ;)

Agreed, and most Jokes are mentioned in the title, so you don't need to read them. ;D ;D ;D

each to their own ::)

The great aspect of this site is that it has sections for purely motoring topics, and other sections for general topics.
The vast majority of postings that we, including Debs and I (if you are having a dig at us as I suspect you are!), make have serious tones to them and can be often motoring related. But talking for myself I do enjoy the social nature of various threads, and all the joking banter helps make this site not only informative but entertaining as well.
I personally could rabit on about all the cars I have worked on since 1971; all the various mechanical and electrical procedures I have carried out in that time, and up to only recently before purchasing again an Omega, along with all the experience gained over one million miles of motoring. However who wants to hear all that endlessly? :-? :-?
Now I am in a learning mode on Omega workings, including all the mistakes members make in attempting to maintain their pride and joys, and making contributions only when I can really assist someone, which stops some misleading advice being given which actually does happen on this site. ::) ::) ::) ::)
If you cannot contribute to the many threads that make this the popular site it is that is no-one elses problem but yours Hereford ::) ::) ::) ::) ::). Please don't, out of sour grapes take the fun out of it by questioning other peoples worth. ;)

I like the jokes here. They cheer me up in the morning before I go to
the sweat shop work.

"And what about you, Spare Hand One? How do you feel?"
:o

Well what can I say.
We take on board the gripes of the forum, I would be happy for one to have a jokes section as JamesV6CDX was complaining last week. But the admin are against it.
I take great care and put smileys, and Joke in the title to identify them then it is up to each individual member to view or bypass them.
I have no interest in tractors.
I have no interest in LPG
I was'nt really fussed in all the threades JamesV6CDX started regards his Miggy project with the blown head gasket.
But hey, when I came accross them I bypassed them and marked them as read. was no big deal Nothing at all againt JamesV6CDX
It's a forum with a general chat section. For that reason I dont believe people are doing anything wrong.

No, it is their ability to contribute over a wide range of topics as well as provide some very worthwhile, purely Omega, advice, as most of us are trying to do to the best of our ability. ::) ::) ::) ::)

It's our own little chatroom (hate that word) but that's what it is & better than sitting in front of of the box. As for my post count, well i'll still be a seasoned OOFER with a peachy Mig regardless of how many stars i have on my avatar.
There are certain areas of the site where even i don't mess about & i'll be the first to happily admit to my lighthearted approach to life & cheesy jokes. We all have a choice.
Who famously said "i don't agree with what you said but defend your right to say it"?

As I am sat here at 4 in the morning with nothing better to say, I will add my two pennethworth:
Yes, this is a car ( Omega no less) related forum -- but it is also a community. I like to think we make friends here and, to a certain extent, socialise.
I came here because I knew very little about my Omega -- I am learning all the time. To be honest, if I had to limit my input to car related topics my post count would be a couple of dozen -- and all of those would be inane ( to the experts) questions.
A couple hundred of "me", doing that, would make the forum a dull place to be.
-
I totally agree HC.
I think TB and the admin team run a cracking forum, there's certainly something for everyone, amd if it does'nt have a specific section there is allway's the "General Chat" section.
If a line were to be drawn, then where would that line be. does that mean members would not be able to ask about other cars they own.
Just because it has a Vetra badge but has the same engine as an Omega is that not allowed.
The thing is as allready mentioned. We are a group, we are a community of like minded people that came here with one thing in mind, to learnt more about the Miggy. I for one have learnt loads, and will continue learning.
Well done to TheBoy and the Admin team, may it continue to grow in size with more new members and expand with knowledge for many years to come. :D :y :y
Well Done Guys :y :y :y :y :y

spot on m8.
I try to read most threads on here. WHATEVER they are. its good to discuss other topics and see what other members opinions are. the banter is fun and so are most of the jokes. you got to be one boring rsole to just want to go on a forum to discuss nothing but cars. i have gained a lot from this site and thats not just cars. if i wasnt happy with it on here i wouldnt bother coming on.

Yes Skruntie. All that exertion on here last night was enough for me; talk about getting out of my pram! >:( >:(
But I am here now so please expect the sanity that has broken out in my absence to now be discontinued! ;D ;D ;)
On that note where is Debs this morning? Probably being sensible and keeping her powder dry! ;D :y

1st and foremost that's why we are all here.
But life doesnt revolve arround a car all the time.
That's why most of us enjoy taking part in threads such as this one, rather than starting them with certain comments just because they think we do it for the POST COUNT.
LMBFHAO ;D ;D ;D

Certainly not.
The wealth of information gained here could never be found anywhere else as far as I am concerned.

Enough said Hereford ;) You now know that for a lot of us this is a great social site quite apart from gleaning knowledge about Omega's. But I think everyone to their own, and if you want friends on this site count me in when you are ready! :y
You certainly was not boring last night; you created quite a stir! Well done! ;D ;D :y
-
well said lizzie,the spirit of friendliness must be paramount,it would be tragic to see the forum degenerate into a slanging match between big egos .this has happened on other such sites and caused a lot of damage,in fact i believe that was part of the reason that this forum was originally created :y

well it looks like there are two boring rsoles on this site then as my moneys with hereford elite.however each to there own, you can do what you like in general chat and ill b*gger off and help as best i can in the help section :)
-
i read all the threads in general help,and offer advice/info when i feel able,i am however very aware of the fact that quiet a few members know so much more than i do and sometimes a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.having said that i have learnt a hell of a lot about omegas from the forum since joining. :y

On that note where is Debs this morning? Probably being sensible and keeping her powder dry! ;D :y
;) Just come in the house following a morning chainsawing/chopping/stacking firewood logs......gosh, I`m tired now!
I`ll soon recover and have a bite of lunch now. :y

I think people are taking all this a little too seriously.
Post counts often have far too much relevance placed on them.
It is not how much someone talks on here, but more what they say.
Now let's just accept that people come on here for different things and respect that please. :y
