Thanks to everyone for the great 6 months on the forum. It has been an absolute pleasure to watch this forum grow into the community that it now is and I wish it contiuned success and growth.
As I no longer have any interest in the Omega and am not able to contribute as the forum deserves, plus the fact that I cannot agree with a general pop at the Christmas festival, I have now left the forum. You will see that I am now an ex-member and will not be returning.
I genuinely wish everyone a Happy Christmas and a safe, happy and prosperous new year.

Happy holidays. I think everyone here appreciates your contribution to these forums. I hope that you resolve whatever it is that is really bothering you and we see you back here sometime. :y
-
Sorry to see you go Ronnie. Good luck with whatever ventures you undertake.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your family.

Theolodian I totally agree with you, it does seem a little odd how a minor difference in opinion has caused this, hopefully he will be back. Have a good holiday finlay :y

Agreed.
Fin don't take the warped thinking of a bored student bum too seriously!
Have a good holiday, and hope to see you back here very soon :y

Ronnie McB,
I have missed whats gone on today, been busy with other things. Sorry.
However, whatever you reasons for leaving, I would like to say a huge thanks to you for your help in getting this place up and running. Setting up a new site is never easy, and one as popular as this in such a short space of time is a huge achievement. 8-)
I wish you equally great success in your new ventures, and you will always remain welcome here.

Legend :-[

P.S. Is the screen name and post count of RonaldMcBurger up for grabs? ::)

I don't understand haha, maybe confusion caused my me editing my post?

Nah, you said this before. You know too much to leave it for good.
Enjoy a rest and come back anytime I say.
Good luck.

Thanks As I no longer have any interest in the Omega and am not able to contribute as the forum deserves
Very reasonable reason
plus the fact that I cannot agree with a general pop at the Christmas festival, I have now left the forum. You will see that I am now an ex-member and will not be returning.
I am sure there are members on this forum for whom Christmas has a more traditional Christian background and thats great.
The fantastic thing about this great country is the diversity of it populous, Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Jew, Hindu, Budist and whatever else in between. Don't judge others on their preferences, thats getting into dangerous territory thats causing a lot of troubles in the world around us. This is an all encompassing forum is it not?
For me personally, its a time off work where I'm not working 60 hours a week in some power station in the middle of nowhere, time that I can spend with my wife and our families, and yes time that I can spend eating too much, drinking too much and watching The Great Escape, The Wizzard of Ozz and loads of Carry On films. I don't expect that to offend.
I genuinely wish everyone a Happy Christmas and a safe, happy and prosperous new year.
Same to you, best of luck with the driving school and whatever else you take on.

Come on guys, try to keep it on topic.
Ronnie McB has been a valued contributer here since its inception. Let keep his last post on topic.
I for one, although not always agreeing with his views on some subjects, am really sorry to see him leave here, though obviously having no interest in Omegas now, I suspect it is something he has thought about for a while. Judging from his recent posts on his projects, I suspect he is finding it physically more difficult to do such projects due to his health.

Sorry TB. You're right. Just trying to lighten the mood. Ronnie will be missed.
-
Indeed he will.
Really sorry to see you go Fin, and thanks a huge amount for doing the work on my V6 with me.
I'm extremely hopeful that you stay in touch with us all...
-
Fin,
I will miss your input, mate.
Whatever your future plans, I wish you good luck. I understand you reasons for leaving (no interest in Meggy's now), but I am sad that you left with a bitter taste in your mouth. You will see from the other thread that I agree with your stance. I hope that brings some comfort.
Have a peaceful and happy Christmas and all the best for the future.
-
Hi Fin,
I've not been a member long but would have to say it sounds to me as though your gonna be missed :(.
Best wishes for the future,
Pete :y

Shades of Deja vous ?
Dont forget to put the key back through the letter box
Goodbye and may the road be kind to you :y
-
Fin - your a legend mate ! Hope everything goes well with the recent ventures :y
Clearly a God Father of Omega Forums and a major driver to the creation of this one ;)
All the best
Mark

Sorry to see you go Fin. I thought you were a smashing bloke after meeting you at the Santa Pod meet, and was quite suprised that you left in such a flurry (I don't even know what that word means!).
It's a sorry state of affairs when people can get so worked up about such trivial matters (trivial IMO).
-
Knowing Fin as I do, I think describing him as a "Godfather" is very apt! ;D
Mate, your input, both serious and ridiculous (damn those pills are good!) will be sorely missed.
You know you will always be welcomed back, Omega owner or not.

Although I've already posted on this subject, Mr McB's departure troubles me. Not because he is no longer tinkering with Omegas, but because he has found offence at some of the threads and postings. Whilst not especially religious myself, I do respect others views on the subject. I've never had the pleasure of meeting the man and he may well be a most righteous God fearing person, but i must have missed the point. As far as I can see, the ridicule and micky taking centred around the more trivial aspects of Christmas, and not the Holy sanctity of the church and the centre of it's belief.
If i am wrong about this than I will stand corrected.
Ronnie is a most respected man, and it concerns me that he has left us for these reasons. I'm not sure at this point what i am trying to say, but the whole thing bothers me. Are we as a sample of general life in this country that bad? I would like to think not but we sure have offended someone. :(

It is called the silly season for a reason. I suspect Ronnie was frustrated about only being half-involved, especially with his diminished involvement in Omegas. Even he said the Xmas thing wasn't the main reason he left. Hopefully after the silly season we will see him again. He certainly contributed more to this place than just stories about projects and technical info. His ramblings will be missed. :'(
-
I think everyone will miss Fin, whether you agreed with him or not, and whether he agreed with you or not, I always found him to be a top guy. :y
-
With all due respect to you guy's as it is nothing to do with me, being a Newby. Something has has happened withein this Omega forum. Which is obviously very profound to you guy's. For my self I don't
know whats happend or upset you or the person that has left. Maybe I have missed a posting or something but to me its such a shame that someone can take such umbrage about something that is posted on on a forum!!!! That's why they are there, to read everybodies or somebodies views, argeeable or not!! Its a shrug of the shoulders, and you think 'Sound' or you think 'Pratt'.
Just my views ,about something that sounds very heavy for you guy's but I don't know what its about!!!
If I am out of order please forgive me!
-
Well personally i saw very little reason for Teddies to be ejected from the pram.
EVERYONE is entitled to their own opinion and there was hardly anythng of Earth shattering importance said.
For me , i consider myself a Christian and still pray every night.
As for Christmas i would sum it up as "buying presemts that i can ill afford and receiving presents that i dont particularly need or want" !
Not being Scrooge just being honest.
I do hope that we do not loose any other members as a result of my offensive seasonal rant.
-
Maybe would should just stop talking about this it seems to be getting out of hand in my opinion
-
Yes, its time to cool everything! As most peeps don't know what its about!!!!!!
But the guy must have effected you OLDIES major style , which we must respect!!!

Yeah m8 i think it's time for everyone to cool down

well said lsg1 lets now all keep our thoughts to ourselves on this matter/thread title and talk about cars and beer and :y
-

Agreed, think everything that needs to be said has been said. Thread should be ended. Lets get back to welcoming new members and increasing our post count, I may even get in on the action!!!

I agree.

Like others have said. I think this has run its course.
Fin will be greatly missed, and that is clear from the posts here, but now it is time to move on.
