What we have here is a real problem with people swaning into the General Discussion and expecting the discussion to be suited to them.

I'm afraid it can't happen. We've got a wide range of ages, interests and more importantly a massive range in net experience.

Some of us have gone through the typical 'What do you do for a job' 'What car would you buy if you wont the lottery' 'Pics of your other half' threads countless times now. We've also seen references to the same old funny links over and over again.

But - this is new to a lot of people and it's unfair of us to complain. We all went through the motions once.

An important point I want to make is that forums aren't some sort of broadcasting service operated by those who run it. It's a community and everyone is entitled to contribute. If you don't like the current topics there's really nothing stopping you creating a new one on something you do want to talk about.

Its not just this forum, its the Ford scene in general.


Take the Old Skool Night at Ace Cafe last week, even though its plainly Old Skool

Some little twat in a Grey RS Turbo still turns up, cant get in the car park so parks in the bus stop across the way and proceeds to rev the cackers out of his car to make it flame.....


NO ONE was interested and the only comments that were made were 'Will that kid just fook off'


Even the original Ford night has been ruined by idiots and everyone trys to blame the Saxo owners etc but its not them thats spoiling it.

Its brainless morons sitting in the car park with their huge stereos boomin away... and wanna be drivers.....

We've ALL seen a flamer kit, and they were a grin 4 years ago... we've ALL heard the shhhhhhhhhh of your cheap dump valve......


We aint interested !!!



If you want to show off your boomin systems go to cruises, go to the Max Power night......


And this is just a sad reflection of whats going on out there...... and whats happening on the street gets reflected in whats happening on here.

I don't think that's the point is it. I thought Neil was complaining about what the driver was doing more than anything. The car he was in being circumstantial but in all fairness unfortunately quite typical.

RichardPON

It's not the car, it's the driver.

xr2i-carl

yeah suppose so lol, is bit immature sittin there revin the fuck out of his motor

expect it from a chavalier driver

Agree with you there Lynne, I thought the split was a good decision.

xr2i-carl

what split??

neilm

Hardly !!


Pre 1982 seems to be the current definition of Old Skool set by the boys who run www.oldskoolford.co.uk

neilm

It was also the context in which it was being done...

There was a car park full of MkI & II Escorts, Capris, Cortinas, Anglias etc...

Why would any of those people be remotely interested in seeing 'Chimp Boys' flamer kit... ??

Now if one of the MkII's with a cossie motor, T4 and Anti Lag had decided to pop a few flames that would have been different matter

I also thought the split worked better, but that was a personal preference thing.

However, regarding the whole Chav thing, this site is what you (as posters) want it to be. I have no problem what-so-ever with the new people, as all I do is select topics to reply to / post on that interest me - it's not fucking rocket science . You're not compelled to post in any way, shape or form . I frequent the Escort Cosworth section and the General section regularly .

Due to many complaining threads in similar vain to this one Stu split the General Chat into two sections, one for General Chat on cars and one for everything else.

All this lead to was ten times as many complaints that people were having to actually navigate to more than one forum and couldn't sit there constantly hitting refresh so they could add either "LOL" "STFU" "" to every post they saw. This backlash to actually having to put any effort in saw Stu taking a poll and re-merging the rooms back into one.

oh

Ginge !

Well this post shows the site aint changed


i went in my old local a few weeks ago and that HAD changed,,,,,,, its now clean and posh and called a different name,,,,,,,, all my mates had moved on too and i said its gone to crap as its not the same


they now serve beer in clean glasses and theres women in there too,,,,,,, bring back the old days i say


as for chavs ect its cause computers are available easier now so the poor have access,,,,,,,,, and our cars are OLD CHEAP cars that we over value to attempt to be exclusive


see you all in a few weeks
