What has happened to this Forum?

[Merv and Sharon]

Come to think of it we don't have many 'drop ins' from New Zealand! I guess they have their own Forum - or are they linked with ours? Could be good to have a Forum that had connections to both sites. As for our American colleagues, they are welcome anytime as far as I am concerned, provided that there is no public advocacy for a certain Governor from Alaska. Too cold up there for Cobras anyway!

I have found this Forum absolutely invaluable, as a builder, and hope to share whatever meagre expertise that I develop when I am finished (stage 1). Moderation/censorship? Well it is everywhere these days and it is always a cost/benefit balance between what is lost and what is gained. We are, however, getting ever closer to Sweden as the most 'politically correct' nation on earth.

Back to fitting my EFI!

Well I for one love this site and love the contributions that everyone makes....I frequent it usually at least once a day and love to read the threads....The advice that I have personally received over the last 12 - 18 months has been invaluable and whilst sometimes I may not agree with someones views, there's nothing like seeing or thinking about things from as many perspectives as possible!

I've also met some really interesting and knowledgeable people after initially making contact with them on this site...There's nothing like sharing a few beers with people talking Cobras & cars with like minded people! I hope to repeat this when I get to meet a few more of the contributors to this site at the Nationals the weekend after next!

Regards....Paul

Hi All
One thing I think the moderators/owners of this forum seem to have overlooked or forgotten is that they do not "own " the forum.

This forum is all of us, the contributors, and without us this forum would not exist.

It is a place we can come to to express our ideas and our experiences and to share with other like minded people our knowledge and gain knowledge from those who have gone before.

It is the fact that we can have a problem which can have 6 different ways to fix when viewed by 6 different people which makes these forums so valuable and the views and comments are equally valid for all.

In this day and age "political correctness" has gone too far and should be consigned to the little round filing bin.

In my day if a couple of mates had a dispute they went out the back, had a physical resolution, and went back inside and had a drink.

Problem solved.

Lets get back to the spirit of what matters and not let small mindedness deprive us of our goals.

There definitely needs to be a standard applied to the content to stop or at least pull into line those whom intentionally over step the mark...

Personally the Mods do a great job ..don't forget these guys Volenteer thier time to give us this online enviroment and if something goes wrong or if things are a bit slow those whom are prone to whinge will do so.

Yes the Forum is all of us, and it exists not because of us ,but because someone has taken the time and effort to develope it,it evolves because of us.

Those of you who don't like what happens here turn off you won't be missed,as there will be a never ending line of people to replace you!!!!!
