I'm actually going to log off and take a break from the forum for a while I think! Following on from a few recent issues lately including:-

The attitude of a couple of longer standing members, including one who feels it's appropriate to tell another lower post count member to "p*** off" several times.

The full circle of vultures hovering over a newly ex-member who was certain of their opinion and spoke their mind.


This is first and foremost a car forum. I try my best to help out where I can but this is just not what this place should be about and quite frankly I don't need it. This is no reflection on the admins at all, it's merely a minority of members acting as if they are in charge and never wrong.

I'll still pop on and check my PM's but that's it for a while. Members such as Josh, cruisetopoland, NickV6 and MarkMV6 know how to get hold of me if you are desperate.

Be back soon hopefully!


P.S. TB I'll get the last 3 calendars and the postage receipts out to you in a jiffy bag tomorrow

It is a shame Lee, as I always greatly appreciate your imput into things. I have your phone number...so expect a call soon 
I hope you're break doesn't last too long, and I look forward to the next time you're back on here

To be truthful the more members you get the more differing opinions you're going to get thats something that will happen on any forum. I don't think this forum has changed much apart from a few people seem to be getting very upset about what someone else says, you used to be able to give an opinion on here or say something but now it seems, you can't say any bad word or anything that doesn't agree with other people without getting shouted down for it. People keep leaving for no apparent reason or because they're offended. Now one thing is that we're all supposed to be adults on here and you're going to get differing opinions and things said that you don't like but that is life. There is absolutely no need to leave, if you want to then no problem it's your decision to do so but, as we are all adults do something else go and make a cuppa watch the tele or simply let it go over your head. The biggest problem is the fact people keep leaving and going away for a while or for a break which makes things seem a lot worse than they actually are. I also can't understand what Lee says when he says a few that think they're in charge. Everyone knows who is in charge and, personally, I don't see anyone who comes across as if they think they're in charge. (Apart from Steve obviously  )

Thats just my two pennies worth.

Yer barred!

And if you fancy a break Skruntie, let me know and I'll arrange it for you. Legs, arms...no problem.

This forum can be a bit tough these days.

Personally, I have been accused of being a "nutjob denier", "a true little englander" and having a "blinkered outlook"...and that's just in the last 24 hours!!

I have thought about taking a break from the forum myself as I get bored of having to deal with abuse. I'm still here for now, though.

But, if I ever did leave, I think I would just not visit. Easiest way would be to remove OOF from my bookmarks. I'm too lazy to type in addresses! 

I rather think I wouldn't be missed anyway.  :-/

Thats what I'm talking about if you disagree with anything then you are a whatever, don't leave though Nick 

[Jo_Kent]

Hope you're not away too long Lee.   I may not log in very often but I read the Forum every day, mainly General Chat seeing as I don't have an Omega. So it may look as though I have left but I haven't, I just watch from the sidelines.  I had the pleasure of meeting some of you at Newent 08 so I do enjoy reading what you all have to say... most of the time

2nd & 3rd paras I agree with -- probably the best way.

I doubt the last is true though !

Anyway --- last time I looked there was a delete account button on the login page --- where has it gone ?

I hope no offence was taken Jo? as none intended Nice to meet you, so to speak

I speak as a relative newbie here, I really like the forum and have the utmost of respect for the longer-standing members like Lee who give up their precious time to offer advice, virtually or physically, to other members, whoever they are.
  This is the first forum I ever joined, but have looked in on others for other car makes - none of them compare to this one - the swearing filters are tested to the limit and the amount of pure drivel people write is not worth the bother. And if you have a problem, forget it.
  If Lee and other senior members can see standards deteriorating, then we should take note I think, these are the people that make the forum what it is, and I for one would be a lot worse off financially without all the help and advice I've received.
   I started off on the wrong foot with a few people and was 'put in my place' by a couple of people, so it will happen from time to time, let's just make sure we don't lose sight of what this forum's supposed to be about...
