I posted a list a few pages back, given up on trying to keep this thread on track.

This was your chance to have your open and honest say on OOF 

[Darth Loo-knee]

Shame some have not said what they think though

good question quite young now i think when you read a lot of the posts as entwood quite rightly says omegas are more accesible and quite a few bling them up which to be honest i quite like although some dont just nice to see some one do the work i am 48 i think

Is it really 28 pages No wonder it's taken me two hours to read through

Lots of interesting points raised Might have posted in response to several of the posts, but wanted to read through first

In no particular order:

1. Link the Guides and FAQs and making them even more obvious might work, but there is a repeating banner which suggests looking before asking in the Help sections

2. Less jumping on people who ask stupid questions (or stick black tape over their rear lights), I might be a bit guilty of this I wonder if Tunnie will moderate his youthful exuberance as he passes 30

3. Can't really avoid the 'Cliquey' issue. Groups of people who know each other and get along will always appear aloof to those looking in Best solution is to just jump in feet first, get along to meets and as has been suggested you'll soon realise that we're all affable people with at least one rusty common interest.

4. Personally, I've two reasons for not participating as much: Not in the office as often as I used to be and since getting a new 'It's NOT gay' phone I've been able to browse at leisure but posting is a proper ball ache I do still try to get along to meets though

5. The debacle at the start of the year was an unfortunate incident that surprised and shocked alot of people. It'll take time but, the dust will settle and the wounds will heal, life goes on...

We know that we own, or at least appreciate the best value cars in the world,(second perhaps to a Monaro/VXR8), and also that we have the best Forum in the world for keeping said cars going

We just need to remind ourselves that were lucky to have these things and should try to appreciate them a bit more.

Hope tomorrow is a better day Albs

Nickbats' goat was delicious, ta muchly for leaving it there Tigers

p.s. FWIW points 2,3 and five are perhaps the things that need attention. To paraphrase Sunscreen by Baz Luhrman: ' Be wary of people who try to sell you advice, but pay attention to those who give it freely' Actually quite a sage song

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
