But Jereboam, the forum has become boring cos some people take offence at every little thing said.....

I thought we were all adults but some on here are acting like school kids.....

Cant stand the heat......dont go into the kitchen...........?

 

It's not a case of not being able to stand the heat, my friend. This place is simply not the place it used to be. As for all being adults ... it's getting more and more like a school playground ... it's not "heat" I will be leaving behind (in the real world I have taken ( and given ) enough of that to make any row on the forum a walk in the park  ) it will be the kids.

Incidentallly -- several members have made the comment that we are all adults here and so should be abble to put up with insulting behaviour and gutter language --- this is an open forum, kids and wives read it. A few boobs here and there are not the problem, but some of the opinions expressed and language used is beyond the pail.

When I commented on that we're all adults, I didn't mean that we should be able to put up with insulting behaviour or gutter language, what I'm saying is, if something offends you tell people, don't leave the forum or 'have a break' it's just stupid. If you feel thats the best thing to do then do it but, it is like a kids playground oh he said this so I'm taking a break they said that so, so and so left. I mean get over it if someone leaves it's down to them and shouldn't bother anyone else but them. With over 7000 members there is bound to be things you don't like as there is in everyday life but we can't take a break from that can we? Kids and Wives may read it yes, everyone understands that but, if we can't say stuff because someone may read it then whats the point of us having a general discussion area where on a male orinentated site there is bound to be some foul language etc. If you feel so strongly that people are doing something that is bugging you tell them via PM or whatever don't leave or take a break, this does actually blow a whole load of situations up.

Just because other forums have no standards does NOT mean this forum should be the same. The whole raison d'etre of this forum being established, (before my time, but if you read the history of the forum), was because of the "behaviour" on other forums.

This forum IS different .. that's why we are here .. and I, for one, wish it to remain so.... the day it does not .......

Del Boy -- I can't argue with what you have said.

Penfold -- the rubbish posted on other forums is irrelevant -- if I wanted to read that I would join the Corsa forum ( unless I had to own one first!)

The moaning is because this forum is in danger of following the likes of the Corsa forum down the same pan.

This was ( still is -- just) a great place to be, but is in danger of degenerating. Like our ancient friend, Jereboam, I have little technical expertise, and I am guessing no-one will give a rat's if I stay or if I go. Should I choose to leave it will not be a dummy spitting exercise, but a calm and long thought about action, simply because this has become somewhere I no longer wish to be.

However, I defend my right to express my concerns and try to protect what I cherish ... the old camraderie that used to exist.

But I'd imagine the average age on the Corsa forum is considerably lower than on here

TBH, I do find things sometimes get out of hand and I have been known to stop posting because of things I have read. But, I'm here because I enjoy the banter and the people I have met through this forum have, generally, been the sort of people I would befriend in the "real world"

[webby23]

Well to be honest I think this forum is very well spoken considering the variety of people on it and I think nothing is ever said that cant be sorted out without need for personal attacks......

And the Corsa posts arent irrelevant at all, the fact is that they disprove the theory that this forum has gone "down the pan"......

OOF is FAR FAR better language and topic wise than MANY other forums out there so why dont we all start to realise that a bit.......?

Don't leave mate, I always thought you were a very good member of the community, although very quiet lately. If you wish to do so and you feel it's best for you though then do it but, you will be missed

Agreed

I've only been a member for a couple of years but have noticed a bit of a cycle in the general feeling. I have noticed some posts (and people) are a little 'less acceptable' than normal but I just ignore them if I feel that way.

It is important to remember that a lot of members here a "family" (wo)men and lots of members surf here with a young person sat on their knee

[Entwood]

Del Boy ... to a certain extent I accept what you say ... but you quote "7000 members" ... in reality there are less than 200 (probably less than 100 ??) regular posters, and around 50 "prolific" posters ....  so why do the newcomers not join in

Perhaps they get put off by reading a thread where 3/4 folks are having a slanging match involving "break off" "piss off" etc etc etc. You might say that those people have the right to say what they want .. but this forum is supposed to be for ALL members .. not a few private conversations.

The argument is "it's only banter" ....  no it's not .. after 38 years in the military I know what banter is, likewise I know what bad language is. The major point is I also know when, and where, to use either.

And a public forum is not the place.

As others have said .. far more eloquently than I ..... the "moaning", as it has been called, is actually an attempt to save the forum from disintegrating ... we either say nowt and leave... at which point the forum will, eventually, fold .. or we speak out and try and correct things.

The Admins do a fantastic job ... but, IMHO, much of what they now have to do should not be neccesary, if people actually considered the way they behave.

Just my views, nowt else.
