i think it has ran its course....

it was good while it lasted, like many, all good things come to an end!

The reason why this webiste has gone to shit, is the same reason why this country has gone to shit.
No one gives a shit no more! unless they can charge someone for it!

It's a business! How else do you expect something this size to run? On goodwill???

I'll never understand the logic of people who think a website shouldn't have any ads.

Water based vehicles are expensive

This site could be run on less Ł1000 a year with far less adverts by an enthusiast team.
Shame the yanks have control now

passionford is just the same okay some of the banter and more helpful people left,but atleast there are still a few people on here that will help a fellow ethusiast out when its needed.

Yes they maybe some pople on here hwo get on your nerves, take the pisstaking too far sometimes but you get that in real life.

Pople moan when the site had loads of issues and wouldnt load, now its neen taken over and we have less issues people still moan.

You cant please all the people all the time

Theres far too many people sick and tired of so much other stuff bar ford which is what the site was all about in the very early days.

Its a stale argument banging on about anything and eveything is ok on a ford website and quoting the rules,yet thats what the web title says.

i think the talk about football,computer games,bmw's,wags etc should be in the smaller rooms not general discussion.

Honest i have been moaned about for talking about stuff on websites thats nothing to do with what the site is called.
I think for that reason other people know what goes on with other sites yet this one is very relaxed and like i said before so long as your not being racist or flogging stuff under the radar any old shit can go

R SNOT, rise above it. There's no need to get your knickers in a twist because you can't string a sentence together very well and people notice and comment. It's only words on a forum!

And Mervin, General Discussion is EXACTLY that, there's more than enough rooms on here to cater for your every perversion!!

Surely the title of the thread gives you a clue at to the content though? If it's "please be my xbox friend" just don't click it!

People don't use those rooms, as they want replies!

I personally love my time on here, like minded enthusiasts, good atmosphere and plus not everything is about cars, it's also extremely funny the banter which goes on, plus I have learnt alot from here, sure there is alot of advertising but tbh it dosen't really bother me, loads up fast and there is a mobile version for my phone and so I don't see any advertising.

I am on other forums as well but this one is the best user friendly site out of all of them.

As to the "other than Ford stuff" well I think this is a good thing, as much as I do like Fords I do like other cars as well and it's good to hear about them on here whether it be problems or just general discussions about them so as to wisen your own knowledge.

If you dont like general discussion and want to read about fords only, then why not try one of the many ford specific rooms instead?

Can't be bothered to quote whoever it was saying about like minded enthusiasts helping each other out....fuck all help nowadays especially to newbies unlike in the old days, and to queries that are usually technical and to do with Ford anyway!!

every week there seems to be a "passionford is shite" thread and its very boring to read

Typical british mentalilty to always look for the worst, be negative etc etc. What about all the good that goes on in here? like the other day, beefy getting out of bed at 3am to help some guy that had bought a car from guzzler off here and broke down?
not to mention the other nice gestures i;ve seen on here through the years.

people have short memories.

if you dont like it, thankfully you have a choice

Where have you seen that? I personally have helped many new members where I can, sure there are questions that go unanswered for a while but that can apply to anyone, at the end of the day we are all volunteers here and so get round to things as and when we can!

Ive helped lots of people on this website, surely thats the main reason most of us are here, to help each other out?

The banter etc is a laugh, but ultimately my main reason for being here certainly is to help others and occasionally to get some help myself.

Was a great site with great people on back in the day. Has gone downhill bigstyle over the last couple of years. I very rarely come on now. Offers nothing really. Still some very helpfull people on here no doubt depending on what you are asking - rarely about Fords!

this place is a great place to kill some time, have a laugh, find out useful info about pretty much anything and find an answer to almost any problem you have, car related or not and the banter is very funny and a big part of what makes it a fun place to be.
im looking forward to hopefully getting to more meets next year to put faces to names....
