No one on PH tries to make a name for themselves unlike on here.
But then again, there's probably 1000's more users.

PH is a heavily moderated, sanitised, forum with group of moderators who see fit to ban people who don't conform to liberal-left political ideals.

Needless to say I was banned.

It seems like a nice place at first - but like many interweb communities - when you see its true colours (banning people for no fair reason other than politics) it's a ugly place.

True, i once got banned for two weeks for saying i was glad a cat had been killed because i hate the little *******....

Not a popular view it would seem but hey that's how free speech is supposed to work.

I got banned from Final Gear too, for pointing out the stupidity of their voting and discussion threads which are diluted and ruined by sycophants whom appear after every episode of Top Gear saying it was 'the best ever' and giving it 10/10, no matter how boring and awful an episode it had been. I used what I considered perfectly justified logic in reasoning that maybe the Polar Special and Veyron race could be 10's, with many average episodes occupying the 4-8 range, but for the system to be valid there must be some 1's and 2's for weeks when they drop the ball. Some on there have never scored it less than a 9 no matter how bad ! I pointed out that we were supposed to be voting how good each episode was in relation to their best and worst to give fair appraisal, not rating it against Lorraine Kelly and Jeremy Kyle. I was accused of denying people their right to opinion and thus denied my right to an opinion. Viper, you're a cvnt !

It's just like scoobynet but without the garish colour scheme, and text speak.

Some great members, some complete tools.

I agree, i was banned for arguing with the bigots of PH of which there are a lot. I now set up dodgy profiles just to troll on there. Some of the mods are right idiots but most are decent. I suppose they want to maintain a professional image however the right wing elements of the NP & E sub forum really let the side down.

PistonHeads has the same cross section and ratio of bellends that this site has. I do include myself in that statistic.

Can't believe Tony was banned though.

My thoughts exactly. PH level of banter, quality of 'shops and knowledge of financial markets is quite impressive. The traffic is massive: Their Climategate thread runs to hundreds of pages rather than hundreds of characters. When major events happen, pages get added to threads in minutes - the LondonRiots thread was closed at 500pages to protect the Db and a second one started.

Not as 'cosy' as Snet of course...

Yes me too! As it worked in my favour, then they realised it, and got pissed off.

My initiation will soon come, and they will accept me as their own!!!

They're a tad snobby / snooty. Very popular though.
