Good luck from Revolution
Good luck Simon
On behalf of all at Revolution, we wish you all the best for the future! Maybe with your new found free time you will be able to squeeze in some more lessons from Don Palmer - LOL Good Luck Glenn Revolution |
I'm not sure what the score is - if it was Simon's full time job or whatever. But I still enjoy dipping into SN now and again and I think Simon did do a good and essential job of cleaning it up when it got really low brow and not a very pleasant place to visit. The legacy is of course infractions (which I have needed to use only once since they have been introduced) and that needs careful monitoring for abuse in the future. It was a solution though and has possibly saved the site from my pov.
Hope you made a few quid Simon & good luck. What's next (that's if you don't already have a 'day job'?) D |
Simon wow you will get so bored without the BBS what will you do with all your spare time now you have been unplugged.
Regards TKH |
Best of luck Simon :D
See you soon I'm sure. Kind regards Iain |
Thanks so much again everyone. Its so nice to read these comments.

Other than that, I'm relaunching ScoobySport exhaust systems in the next few months with a big new change which I'm very excited about, putting in place way better customer service, delivery and pricing. I'm also looking for other ventures to get involved in, so if anyone has anything on the go, or knows of someone, please let me know.

Simon,
All the best mate, I just hope the new webbie can take the strain of Scoobynet, having been a member since March 2001 I have seen many changes, but love every second I am on here, good luck for the future. Cheers Colin |
Been here 8 years seen the ups and downs
Thanks for a great site Best of Luck Steve |
There's nowt quite like Scoobynet, and as a Scooby owner for 8 years, but now one year on a Supra owner, I must say how great the forums, posts and mods have been in the 8 years that I was a member (well, still am really)!
Best wishes in your new life :D - betcha get homesick, lol!! |
All the best from another old-timer, only met you once Simon, I went round Donno in 'ole Tuckshops car with you on the Children in Need day god knows how many moons ago.
Good luck! |
Thanks a million and all the best...
|
Thanks for all your hard work Simon:notworthy I remember when you stepped in to rescue Scoobynet all those years ago:D
Your efforts, with the rest of the crew, have made this place a large part of my life and the same must be true for thousands of others who have met up through this site or recieved all the great advice that's available on here, and not just about Scoobies ;) I for one have enjoyed every minute of it :D Long may it continue, but you deserve a rest :thumb: |
HI Simon,
On behalf on the entire Dorset Crtew i would like to thank you so much for all your hard work and determination through the years, up until about a yr ago, i was the meet organiser for Dorset, we now have our own forum, and whilst i'm not really involved i understand just how much time is involved in running a tiny (in comparison) forum, so sorting Scoobynet out must have been almost a fulltime job..... i dread to think of the hrs that have gone into making it what it has become...... Thankyou again....... and good luck with your business's, you'll have more time to concentrate on them now!! All the best... Ron. |
best of luck simon, this is a great site, with some great people.
|
Gosh. So it's finally come to this.
And to think I just thought I was buying a four wheel drive car! Good luck and happiness for the future. |
Good Luck with everything Simon, no matter what's happened on SN over the past decade, the fact remains that it exists because of yours and Shaun's dedication and hard work. Yes the members make the forum what it is but without the forum, there wouldn't be members :);)
IB have a very large pair of shoes to fill so lets hope they can be as dedicated as you guys have been. All the best with your future plans :thumb: P.S. Did IB get the Scoobynet Yacht in the deal as well?? :lol1::lol1::lol1: |
I would just like to thank you for all the hard work that you have done over the years
Scoobynet has been a big part of me for the last 8 and a half years You have helped develop the subaru community so much by linking the various members together with most clubs having thier own active forums now in the early days we had 3 members at Cumbrian scoobs and 7 at TTS now we have over 300 members and D&G have set up too and of course the NBO which without scoobynets help I dont know how we would of got so many cars in a field for the last 6 years raising over 30k for charitys and the other big events have all been linked and promoted through scoobynet People come and go over the years but there is stil lots of us old 'hardcore boys'' out there as Subarus are for life ,not just Christmas :D:D: enjoy your retirement but Im sure you will be back !! Lordharding NBO chairman CS/TTS |
Best of luck Simon, and thank you for doing a great job on Scoobynet. :)
I have been on the forum since 1999, and my life has gone through huge transitions and changes in that time, from working down in Woking and enjoying the company of the Southern members, Telboy, Chuck etc to various life changes, marriage and becoming a dad. Scoobynet had a large influence on my life, even though I never owned a Subaru (and still haven't). My business was started in 2001 as a direct result of the Scoobynet community, and it was contacts from here that enabled me to start out on my own. 7 years later I am still going strong and still have the same customer focused ethos that I started with back then. I may not last forever in business, but Scoobynet and you yourself had a large part to play in that. We have spoken a number of times, and I have always found you a decent honest fellow that is easy to get along with. I have met some great people on here, and I will continue to be a part of the community, even though I may not be here as much these days. Again thank you for your hard work, and also thanks to Shaun and the moderators, I have met most of you throghout the years and a nicer bunch of people you could not meet elsewhere. :) |
Hi Simon
I like many other bumped into you at track days and took part in the WRC equipment tests at Prodrive, some great days out. Was it really seven years ago? :eek: I've not had a scoob for over six years but scoobynet has become a lot more than just a Subaru owners website. I've stayed a part of the community that you built up because its a great laugh at times and you can find advice on any subject on here from electronics to your love life (Although it's best to ignore most. :wonder: ) Anyway thanks for everything and good luck in whatever's next. :thumb: Cheers Lee |
Simon - thank you for saving ScoobyNet and also for leaving before you completely ruined it. :razz:
Despite whatever run-ins we may have had in the past, I genuinely wish you all the best with your next project. Keep it real :thumb: |
Every best wish to you Simon :) I have tried to leave SN a few times over the years, as I spend too much time here. But I keep coming back to the great community you have nurtured so brilliantly.
We have spent some memorable times together and exchanged a few emails in the early hours. I'm glad you ignored most of my suggestions which would have killed SN stone dead :lol1: I will always remember those terrifying laps of Donno when you piloted my car with such extraordinary skill on the pedals :eek: It is the same car that Lewis Hamilton drove to pick up a Chinese in Stevenage a few years ago, so two World Champions have driven it now! Not many Scoobs can claim that :D Best personal regards from me and Sally, Richard. |
All the best from a newish one :)
