Although Im no longer the forum admin as a normal user I thought it would be good for the forum to make a few comments about its current direction.
As everyone would have noticed this forum has gone from a fun place to hang out and take the piss out of your mates, a place to exchange ideas and ask questions to a continual whinge and bitch session.
Quite a few threads contain people having a bitch or flaming of users and topics. There are alot of comments about how best to promote the sport - well this forum is more accessable to someone interested in offroad racing than DVDs or TV footage so think first before you post a comment as this forum is fast becoming negative advertising for the sport.
If you're offering constructive critism thats fine. A fair example IS little ottey's comments about the milbrodale vid. She expressed her dissapointment and her reasons why and those comments could be used to create a better vid next time. Unfortunately after that it degenerated into yet another unconstructive bitch session attacking everyone but another user. Granted that the comments were within the guidelines of the forum, but they are well outside of its intended spirit. This is the reason why the main site no longer has a forum.
So come on guys and gals, how about returning to a more lighthearted and informative forum that well promotes the sport instead of one that shows us in a negative light.
Cheers, Myers.

agree with you 100% i am the new admin and i believe in free speech 100% and don't wish to have to edit tons of posts but i can start to take that line if that is what the club wants to happen but they will also have to find new admin.
we are all adults and if you want to have a go at someone jump on the phone or if you are joking remember people cant see you so use the smilies etc to convey you point.
the other side of the coin is don't fuel the troll if you affended by post contact the person posting and try and work it out or if its a direct personal attack admin with remove.
