^^^ ladies and gentlemen, members of the jury, the defence rests

 

It's NSR though, don't have high expectations.

 

Daz, Here......


*throws over very large pinch of salt *




Calm down dear, Its the internet

 

That's certainly true since Muppets emptied.

 

 

Everyone who has been on or following the site for a few years now why its ..... lets say not quite as good as it was ....... because of the witch hunt against all the top tuners in the subaru field led to every last one of them leaving the site never to post again... you ask and talk subaru and most dont really have a scooby do what your on about ...thats what has ruined it for me

 

Nowt like a good stir,eh daz Nice one

 

A witch hunt, you say? By whom?

 

I personally find it shocking that no one has blamed Nu-Labour yet as lets face it, its their fault that Impreza's depreciate badly due to high tax and fuel prices. Its also their fault that dirty chavs could get loans in order to buy "Gods Choice" of vehicle.

I think rather than blame each other its time we unite against the common foe and possiblely the immigrants while we're at it.

 

If you can't beat them join them

 

Was still good though

 

I blame the bloody MODS and their lobster leader

Swisstony for his crap jokes that drive people away, and the bloody climate as well

 

fixed

 

Think its one of them things where you start to get bored with the people on a forum... I say this because im part of quite a few forums, but the one ive been part of for years and have loads of posts on there is quite boring now!

I spend more time on here then i do on the old forum i used to visit... plus the other forum is full of p*****

 

If you were to look at the title of this particular forum, you might be ever so amazed to see why this bit is not slanted towards Scooby's.

There are lots of other places on SN where you would doubtless be very amazed to see that is where people discuss them instead of subjects which are "not related to Scooby's"!

So if you want to amaze yourself and us all about Subaru's, then try some of the other forums!

Les,

This topic may have been posted in NSR but it was about Scoobynet as a whole not any one given area of it.
So my comments were based on that. I come here solely for subaru related stuff (i've had several Imprezas now and am currently building a very heavily modified one(600bhp) and as such I like to discuss everything that goes with that.

I've never once commented on the stuff that is discussed in NSR as I rarely venture in there. Occasionally i get drawn in when something arouses my interest.

People have asked why Scoobynet has gone downhill, it's simple in the good old days most members were scooby enthusiasts these days that's not so much the case.

I'm fine with people who arent enthusiasts coming into NSR and discussing whatever they wish. What irritates me is when these non enthusiasts moan about the site as a whole going down hill. If they don't like it then they can always find somewhere else to discuss their pointless drivel This is a subaru forum first and foremost people seem to forget that. You included

 

Who left the pearly gates open ?

 

Although it pains me, that deserves a

 

77000 posts in 9 years thats roughly 1 post every hour for nine years. Get out into the real world for crying out loud!!

 

Oh i do these days, Daz, don't you worry. Those were accumulated during the halcyon days of the Muppet Forum, before Those Who Knew Better decided that if they didn't understand what was going on, the best course of action would be to ban everybody. Brilliant. It's never been the same since, neither will it be again.

Lots of the comments in this thread ring true. Less (and younger/thicker) Scooby ownership, less expertise and so on. What we have now is a dumbed down and muted shadow of what was once undoubtedly a great site. Things change i guess. When another car comes to grab the public imagination like the Impreza did 15 years ago, there'll probably be another, similar site to what Scoobynet was in its early years. Roll on that day.

 

Hat off to you for that I thought you were going to come back all guns blazing. Instead you've made a very good sensible point that I completely agree with.

The image of the marque and it's owners isn't what it once was and niether are the forums associated with it.

 

Yes ok. It was easy to misunderstand what you meant exactly and also to think that you were complaining about people's posts in NSR in that they were not discussing Scoobies.

I had a very good Scooby in fact, well tweaked up and with first class handling, but for one reason and another it had to go and I still miss it. Because I don't have one any more its unlikely that I have much comment about the car itself now, although I have had the very occasional post about what I did to tweak it where it might have been of interest.

I do agree with your last paragraph and that should have been evident from my earlier post on the subject.

pslewis was a great loss .................................

 

The very people who gave this place its spirit and character??

Give me those guys back any day in preference to the usual suspects
who stifle Scoobynet with their blandness now. Any day at all.

 

Maybe the answer is for all those who are complaining about posts etc. to make a few of the type of posts that they personally would like to see! Perhap's it is just what SN needs as they say!

Now that is a cracking idea

I shall start it off.


" Hello, I was wondering if you think that having Gold coloured wheels on my scoob is a bit...well gay ? " Discuss

 

I think BigSinky might have a word or two to say about that!

Well as it is a forum and therefore everyone has a right to their opinion as long as it is within the T&C's of posting, then I see no problem why he cant voice his reply.














of course I have as much right to call him a complete mutt and to question his sexuality

 

Cheeky bugger
Just shows how often I come on here now as I have only just seen this

 

Well now you have, go and correct that abomination - prima donna's

One prima donna, two prima donnas. Easy peasy lemon squeezy
