First of all, apologies for my spelling and grammar in earlier replies, I had just come in from our Xmas night out and had consumed enough shandy to make operation of the spell checker quite hazardous.

Used to say something along the lines of:
For basically saying and doing as you please, especially if its to get away from cars for a while. BUT BE WARNED. This room contain's all sorts of bizzare and very unusual posts. Some are just plain useless and some may be VERY offensive!! If you are easily offended, do NOT enter.
As Benni said, just seems to be the way this forum is going. It's losing the 'fun factor' it always had.
The fellow Steve above explained perfectly why that line of text changed slightly. People were using it to post the most the most ridiculous things and be downright nasty to people and I am not having that on my forum.
As people start to push boundaries and the rest of the members allow it, its my job to bring into play any legislation to take control of it.
This forum is one of the most loosely moderated large car forums in the world, yet there are always people intent on complaining, its ridiculous. The rules are up there plain as day for all to see and haven't changed much in years, anyone who doesn't wish to abide by them can leave I guess, but it would take an unusual individual to do so because of the rules on this car forum.
Going back to your muppet room problem, I now invite you to list 5 things that your personally want to do in there that you cannot now due to the new forum description. I am interested to see how much I have crippled your fun.
