And as for a new section. That will be a no from me...
My admin vote would go the same way....
I for one have no issues with the majority of posts, Skruntie's included, as virtually every regular here knows how we operate, and where the lines are drawn. I feel there is no reason to change that.
Personally, I am against 'members only' areas. OOF ensures that all areas (with the single exception of a mod area, which as we live at all ends of the UK is the easiest way to organise/discuss things behind scenes) are viewable by anyone, from the top posters to potential new members. Additionally every area, everyone but guests (to reduce spamming) can post to, with the eception of For Sale areas for the reasons discussed a million times before.
I appreciate, and I suspect the rest of the team does as well, people have made small circles of friends within the OOF community, and perhaps want to share, err, more exotic material/discussions/debates/insults/whatever, but their are undoubtedly better platforms on the net than OOF for that. We are, first and foremost, an Internet base car club.
