Title: People just can't resist....
Post by: JasonH on 18 August 2006, 19:44:39
Going over to "the other side" (site).

I'm guilty, or I wouldn't have noticed, would I  :o

I find whole, very interesting threads, entirely from members of this forum. What's going on????

Surely we should try to have the conversations over here.

Really ? i am surprised - not that theres anything wrong with it.

Some were closer to the fallout than others. I personally havent been back and wont be back. But theres nothing stopping members looking at both sites.

Clearly though this is the place to be  ;)

Here Here.

There will still be people who visit the dark place who need help and don't know any better. I was once lost, thanks to MarksDTM i have enlightenment in my life, and the world seems a whole lot brighter now.

Cheers Mark.  [smiley=beer.gif]

I go back occasionally 'cos there's some How To's & FAQ that aren't on here yet, but it's becoming less & less, haven't posted since I found this place.

Well just because you can eat steak every night it doesn’t mean you don’t occasionally want to pop out for a burger  ;)

I think that for the benefit of us Omega Owners Forum who didn't arrive via 'the dark place' that we should all be given a brief insight of why there seems to have been a 'fall out'. I am totally in the dark -- so to speak! ;)  No Elite-ism I hope!

I am not mentioning names but if he wants to say anything he will.

Basically a very popular member of the Omega community had a fall out with a mod - then the mod got abusive to various members of the Omega community including me so some of us set this place up, others guessed straight away what was happening (me) and joined straightaway, others took longer.

Basically the other site has lost approx 50 members to this site so they are not happy, but they should keep a check on the mods.

HOWEVER the mods here are doing an excellent job!

OK, this will be the last post on the matter of what happened the other site...

Many members were unhappy with a new moderation regime that seemed to cause much bad feeling and a 'them and us' attitude towards Omega drivers. Upon expressing our concerns about this, many of us were ridiculed, and one member was insulted badly, and the mods were joining in rather than doing the correct thing.

Remember, the owners of that site are within their rights to run their site as they see fit.

LB66, RonnieMcB and I did not want to be associated with a place run like that and set up omegaowners, along with MarksDTM.

That is the history, and the last word on the matter.

I will add, that if any member here feels the admins are not doing a good job, please feel free to PM me about it in confidence (unless they have a problem with me, in which case probably better to PM one of the other Admins!)

Yeah, just had a look myself. I was shocked at 2 things:

I'm not banned  :(
The quality of the info seems to have dropped since I last looked over a month ago  ;)

Couldn't help it, had to post....  ....so my signature would be seen by many...

Blimey - almost all the posts on the first page of the other place are by you lot!
