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

Oh Jo!, you are an absolute cracker! (and your mum's not a bad looker either!)



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

No offence taken Phil, you lovely man, in fact quite the opposite because I'm the little one's nan not her mum  

[PhilRich]

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...
Jon

Here, Here, I echo those sentiments, well spoken Jon.

I thought I was sensitive :-/ :-/

yep.. sometimes the tension goes up.. and even the debate level drops below acceptible.. but dont forget there are many members with highly varying ages,  experience and different life standards (even we all drive omegas) and expectations ..(for example I envy Mr Skruntie for his monster engine cars )

and of course some reflect their problems and psychological state to the forum or members more than the others..

but we are all adults (except some ) and can survive against some negative conditions..  and I dont believe any of the members here live in closed vessel..

I personally live as a member here and there on various forums.. and see that OOF admins try their best  compared to many other forums..

and for the language used; can you force all the people around you to talk in the same style.. nope..

but if it becomes disturbing and arrogant admins are there..

Very true and wise observations, Cem. I believe there must have been something in the air over the British Isles lately, that has affected everyones perception of reality

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.  :-/

.......I'm tempted to say something.....but......

So I will say something instead.

I wonder how long would go by before we noticed you hadnt posted opetimist, I reckon it would about 6? 

.......I love you too Skruntie......now post some tits....

I cant, I dont have pictures of you and Steve.

[Lazydocker]

Lee, it's a shame you feel that way but sometimes stepping back is the best thing... Don't be a stranger

As for different opinions... The world would be very boring if we all agreed

I missed all the 'excitement' which started this because I was, errm, otherwise engaged with beer and chat

Very pleasant evening though

I remember when there wasnt an 'alert moderator' button 

[jereboam]

It seems that I have only managed 8 posts in the past 5 weeks.

Wanna know why?  This part of the forum has become exceedingly [size=14]boring[/size]. 

Too much slagging off of others, too many private jokes, too many "conversations" from which the majority of members are necessarily excluded as they have no idea what it's all about.

We can't all get to the meets, we haven't all got the mechanical skills that are frequently taken for granted, and although we take an interest in matters automotive, we may not be able to contribute very much other than to the social pages. 

I'll continue to read it, just not so often.  And I'll continue to use OOF as the best source of information on my favourite car.  Until said vehicle falls apart, that is...

[JamesV6CDX]

I have been too busy blasting around the country keeping members Miggys on the road to worry about what is being said on the forum 

[webby23]

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.
