Rich, Seems you also missed the point.

This topic is suggesting that PF is going downhill due to rules. You came along and agreed.

I pointed out that none of you complainants actually use the site to its intended potential, and then went on to prove the fact. Again, i cant help the fact that a large proportion of your replies to topics are sarcastic or argumentative can i? You may know the person you are pointing fun at or arguing with, and they may know you, but the other 5500 people likely to read it do not know that...

Stu,

You are trying to manipulate the argument by making out I do not contribute when I do !

I contribute when someone has a problem I am able offer reliable advice for.
I join in the general site banter like others do.
I am a gold member and contribute financially.
I will complain if I feel I have been unfairley treated in a calm and collected manor.

If any of the above breaks your rules please show me where ?

I cant help if you choose to talk down to me or ignore my concerns.
We have our discussions/dissagreements and when you dont lock the
threads because difficult questions are asked things get usually resolved. LOL

Seriously, I am actually looking forward to that day and will be the first to congratulate you if you get 180+, but also the first to remind you of your pithy comments should you fail .

Where have you prooved the fact Stu? Because i mainly use GD and muppet room? Most of the decent cossie talk is in GD with some good threads in the project room. You seem to have skipped the majority of my post and just pciked up on the points you want to see. That is fine, except i think this is the 1st time i have dared to mention any sort of inconsitency since you allowed banchester to become a mod

My sarcasm is usually only directed at Mike. he knows it and expects it as i expect it back. So no most of my replies arent argumentative or sarcastic unless it warrants it - hence my public rumbles with Mike

Sorry this does not make sense?

How many members do we have and how many are complaining I bet its not even 0.001%

I use lots of forums and i read them every night i treat it like reading a newspaper except it all car related and lookfoward to it

But you were the one that hinted that your 450 MAD ponies were better than my 515 TUV horses .

Anyway, all in good fun, you know I love your car, but if it doesn't beat 172mph that I did with four greens (TUV approved 385bhp ) and a T34 0.48 a/r, you will be officially shunned by the MAD camp .

I said lets see how it compares. I know full well you will be faster with 515 bhp

I would never be shunned by the mad camp unless i went to Harvey to map my car and hell would freeze over before that happened

You can, but you also have to (and have according to you ) accepted a suitably well worded response to your criticisms .

Let's see how you fair against 385bhp first .

Never say never !

Anyway, I'm off to watch some Dave, as you lot running the site down has become as boring as listening to Phil going on about how where Stage 1 power and traction control are where it's at .

To be fair im sure the mods and admin get sick of all the threads you make about infractions (like this current one) and hence your digging yourself a hole and wonder why you have infractions ?

Ive been arguing with a moderator in the muppet room about his fuckfriend/girlfriend being ugly etc and ive recieved no infractions.

So all the stuff you say about how its biased infractions and "friends dont get them" is a load of shit.

TBH I am fed up of this arguing as even legitimate concerns get ignored and I suppose there is fuck all I can do at the end of the day.
I have made my point and got points (Tony's). LOL

I will be concentrating on my new IAW ecu secrets unlocking project now so wont have time to complain much in the future...LOL

Stu, You are welcome to come and contribute and/or complain on my new technical chat room anytime when its online soon

Possibly because I dont care enough or sad enough to go whinging about people like you, and possibly because not all mods are power-trippin' hitler wannabe's.

This thread is kinda funny though. In a sad way.

Sorry to disappoint you fella's but I was in bed. I was only discussing these issues with you on the internet last night because i get paid to administrate websites and ensure that they run to their best potential and be a pleasant place for the members to be. I had decided I had done enough work for one night so went to bed.

This topic has well run its course. Everyone has had their say and the other 5000+ can make their own minds up. Thanks for your input everyone.
