it wasnt so bad as such back then, and i think at times public chastising of people is incorrect. I had no dealings with you so obviously i couldnt comment either way.

but as you say, it seems to be open season on here now

I am sure sometimes its because people are either having a bad day at work, or life is shite.

So they think right, time to make others miserable...

And nowadays we are usually two secs (see what i did there) from a pc.

maybe, but just cos im having a bad day doesnt mean everyone else should, its not my god given right to upset everyone

this place can be a bit of escapism, but if everyone here is a moody cunt then we're fucking doomed..

Mike with all due respect you are one of a few filling the forum with stupid posts, i think you ought to use the muppett room more for pointless threads.

besides, if admin / mods had any issues with my threads, im sure they would've been moved.

and with no complaint from me.

but rather than adding anything useful to this post, you chose to be negative..

and by the same token, shouldnt all the video posts / picture posts etc be in the relevant rooms?

im quite if they were, GD wouldnt be half as busy as it was. the relaxed moderation on here makes the forum a good place to be, especially with free speech, would just be better if people could be somewhat nicer to each other.

wishful thinking..

Its ONLY in GD this happens, why, god only knows...

its changed since this stopped being just a ford site and bmw owners think they are hung 10" because the fact they own a black mans willy compared to the 6" cossie owners BMW they think there mr superior to everyone else someone posts about a cossie and they get alot of abuse on how crap it is and unreliable instead of helpfull advice like it used to be maybe some are unreliable but a car is what you make it ive seen people on here are putting posts up saying im selling my cossie because everyones saying there crap etc if you buy a bmw it just shows your getting old its like going out with a girl when your young and your chasing her around shes exciting fun you make dinner for her etc thats like a cossie when you buy a bmw thats like being married you sit in the armchair with your remote wanting everything done for you all the mod cons dinner made for you etc there just 2 cars in diffrent worlds so just cant compare them

Its NEVER been just a Ford site, so thats your entire reply bolloxed.

There have been owners of many marques on this forum since it started 3.5years ago.

And as for the difference betwene a BMW and a Cossie. I guess you have never driven a BMW then? What driver aids?

Good lord, some people are so incredibly narrow minded its actually a bit of a worry!

But general discusion is for, and i quote its name:
To discuss about everything and anything, not necessarily about Ford or even cars.
So if you want to discuss Fords only, perhaps you should use one of the non general rooms where people chat about specific fords all day long. Whilst logged into GD you ARE in a NON Ford only Environment...

And yes, i do own one, but i love all cars, not just my Beemer...

Now go away and play with your mere 6incher...

Trouble is mate you relativly new here with small amount of posts, and i dont think you full appreciate it, and the fact that a LOT of the BMW owners have had a lot of RS's and done a hell of a lot for the RS scene than most people

How many regional, ND u been to? i have been to fookin loads and loads, properly more than SEC's although hes the biggest follower of Ford

Just a case of a lot of people here have had RS's for long long time and just moved on because of other commitments.


I agree this place is not as good as it was before with all the old skool posting but its not bad either! hence why this is still my home page and why i come. Plus i have a lot of freinds of here.
