Stance vs handling

Maybe you should ask somewhere you actually like? Rather than just mooch off the forum then slag it off else where.


Oh and the forum was set up by VW and Mini folk, not JDM people.. that came later,.. and everyone followed.

Nope,.. I'm just quoting Wilko's post from Tramp Drift www.trampdrift.com/Forum/TD/showthread.php?p=102470

Do people think we don't know what is said about this forum elsewhere on the internet?

Also I don't mind that people hate us,.. it is a good sign, we're doing something that people care about. However I do mind when they then come on here and desire to use the forum and pretend like they are all cool with it.

Do something truly original and extreme. Take the wheels off entirely, and fit skateboard trucks on the jacking points.

Oh dear oh dear, forum fail.

At the minute thats how I feel about this place as well.

Hey Ho *Wanders off*

I tend to check other forums once the show stuff kicks in for people that have queries about it, or people that are umming and ahhing about organising stands... I always check places that have been before and the quickest way to find the threads is to search for retrorides... it is always interesting what you find.

People have a strange obsession with this place. We just want to talk about old modified cars in a relatively positive manner...

I just don't understand why people that don't like this place spend so much time on it,.. posting up threads, then complaining people don't look at them or respond.... or complaining that we're too happy,.. or too nice, or like our cars one way or another (and usually missing the point entirely)... just go away if we're so rubbish. Be a prick somewhere else, because I don't wanna talk to you... I'm glad this place is a turn off to people that act like people in that thread... good riddance.

OK BYEEEEEEEEE

You want to post some links where I have DEFENDED Retro Rides in the past on Ovalchat as well for balance then?

No?

You just want to link up a thread where people have said what they DON'T like - where does it say I hate the site unreservedly? It doesn't. I wouldn't have ever joined if that was the case.

But no, lets just look at a single post out of context - witchhunt complete!

You have a problem with what I said to the extent that you have been nuturing this "issue" and waiting until I posted a thread on the general board to hijack it... literally for months, that's a bit sad really- I had thought the mods on here were a bit more grown up.

I completely stand by what I have said - I am not trying to hide my opinions:

1/ I have taken heaps of abuse in the past on here for being a banger racer and have read lots of outright rubbish about racers all being scum etc... which have on occassion been left unmoderated.

2/ I think this place has got increasingly cliquey. There are certain people with '+community spirit' etc... tagged next to their name who can be outright rude to other members and very superior in their attitude, you mods tolerate this, but other people's posts that to me, read more mildly, get modded.

If you want to imagine that all RR members unreservedly love everything about the site then by all means enjoy the delusion! There's a lot of good things about it, and there are bad things as well - as per the above in my view. If you want to start a section where members discuss what they like and don'tlike about the culture / moderation of the site, then you might get some feedback on it within RR - but since you don't solicit these opinions, then you can only expect to read those view elsewhere.

Delete my account if you like, this will be my last post given the fact I'm clearly not welcome in your "community".

I suspect you may even mod my post to make yourself look better, but I don't really care if you do to be honest.

Then use the damn report button, we've stripped Community Spirit awards before and will do it again if we are informed about it. They are supposed to be a reward for positive input into the community, maybe some people think of them as negative seperation. I stopped giving them out because of this.

If you have defended RR on OBC I apologies for picking you out of that thread specifically, however I've only ever seen us defended on there once. You seem to have also missed the part where the mod team have defended banger racing. I got massive abusive pm's sent to me about it, but we carried on, and still do IF IT IS REPORTED.

I don't edit negative posts about me because I am secure enough in my opinion and my stance.


Of course this thread could have been avoided if you'd posted IN THE RIGHT DAMN SECTION.
