If you have never heard people joke about Yanks having little History or The world getting a bit fkkd off with Yanks wanting to rule and control the world?

then you have been living under a bed for years.

This is a forum for men, and a few birds and by all accounts now a Trannie !

If my posts upset you then IB have chosen the wrong guy for the job.
I imagine the only person reading this who thinks i am touchy or acting like a spoilt child is you. You are biting harder and harder each post and getting more and more upset, likely because your first post to me made you look a tad foolish because im not American and every other member knew it so you are looking for a point to level you up from your current poor position instead of conceding the point and adjusting your statement to suit.

If only this were just a forum for men, a few birds and by all accounts now a Trannie. Life would be so much simpler wouldnt it?

That trannie post was deleted twice, very quickly. I am surprised that Simon and Shaun could get dresses in their size.....

learn......... nothing upsets me !! I am as chilled as a bottle of cava (so the chavs have a idea ) in the fridge !

And to others i did not look that foolish. My point is how well can you listen to complaints and opinions ? your reply almost made me feel Simon was back in power. Either that or you copied and pasted a old post he made to me ? (!!!)_

now go to bed and sort the wife out

Well guys, its been a pleasure to read the comments from 99% of you. Thanks for your input, I will ensure its utilised in the best possible way.

Ultimately, regardless of the way it is achieved, we all have the same common goal and that is a fast, harmonius forum that is a fun place to be and full of excellent information. I would say you have pretty much got that right now regardless of what some of you think, I guess we just need to dig out the polish and put a little work into some areas of it, but SN is still an outstanding forum and Simon and his team have done an excellent and thankless job of getting it to where it is now.

Thanks again for your time and input tonight.

Maybe in future if you have a valid point to make, do not try to issue it on the back of a derogatory comment. Nobody else got into an argument making their points today did they? You will find i listen very well to complaints and opinions. Maybe read this entire topic again and judge for yourself. I even got your damn search and time problems fixed within 2 hours of being here.
I am on the members side, i want this community back how it was, but crying over spilt milk and/or firing flak at the Americans who not only own, but also maintain this site, is going to achieve nothing.

Think on this: [learn? ]
If you had over 100 busy websites to work on every day of your working life, and only one was full of people who slagged you off at every opportunity, which do you think you would fix LAST if you had penty to keep you busy?

On that point, i will bid you good night as i have a technical article to finish and i need to concentrate and stop worrying about SN for a couple of hours.

Really? Your Goal is £££££££££ And that will be at any cost. in the early days £ was not mentioned here. No adverts i think and if they where it was minor.
Lets not be foolish ,Simon converted S/N to sell and that ruined it for many members .Most joined late and wont remember what it use to be like.

Good luck to your bosses making ££ from it. But dont kid us please.

Its obvious that until you totaly remove the infraction system and replace it with a voting system etc then "feelings" will remain.


Also you failed to address my point about racist comments? why can one member be infracted for calling someone a "Window Licker" and another not infracted for saying" Paki" in a 100% racist post?

whilst "window licker is another of the PC brigades latest "hate words" most never mean it to be more than fun. But the threads i referred to where not fun. Just Full on racist remarks

I suppose that if many of your moderators leave and you wont empower who is left, then you only have limited options.....

Oh ****. I've just realised I've been posting drivel on Scoobynet for years now

I actually thought I was posting on Sniff Petrol

At least it's a good place to pick up women

On a slightly more serious note, can you all stop scrapping amongst yourselves and get SN back to it's former glory where it was full of great banter and very useful information?

Or failing that, can you just attract more decent totty back for me to pick up? TIA

Well if things were fixed then maybe you wouldn't have people slagging you off?, or is that too easy

well you are paid to do the sorting out.And part of those wages are from forum members .Who you knew where upset that Simon had let then down. so dont act like your doing favours please.

also lets say future advertisers are reading this......... would they want to invest in a forum who's admin "might or might" not get round to fixing issues just because they are not been "loved " enough?

All of this becomes irrelevant when you consider that a pair of standard front struts for a classic are £260 + vat and a cambelt tensioner is a further £110 + vat.

FAILED

you lied and now your running away . Also you would need my permission as a PM is Private and not meant to be public. So manners would dictate asking or been told its ok.

And as for vindictive that funny !!! i just enjoy thinking out loud. I dont hide behind keyboards. I am this way in real life. last time i was "vindictive" the guy ended up doing time for drugs..... and that really shocked him !
