would be nice to see a banner change now and then, maybe the odd competition with a few prizes? ive ran car forums before and know how much one can make, and one this size i think they can afford the occasional prize

Nothing worse than these admins on power trips, one of my mates is a moderator on one of the private torrent sites and he text me very very excited that another moderator had edited my word "fooking"

Just shook my head

I messaged them weeks ago and got no response. As for the Xmas message regarding banners and who doesn't celebrate Xmas just a reminder it's the uk, so MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Even worse are the old timer trouble causers who WANT to be admins

(check out the policy section)

But yes some raffles, giveaways, maybe that will bring back some of the wholesome environment that has been lost on here. Good idea.

Agree with that. We arent a Islamic state, or any other type of state, I am not Christian/Catholic/Hindu or anything else for that matter, but Christmas is Christmas in the UK and should always remain so

Exactly why I said it mate. Let's not forget our traditions and values and where we live to many people are to scared to say anything but I'm not one of them.

Totally agree, there would be hell to pay if we insisted that for example Ramadan could only be called 'No eating and stuff for a bit holiday' :-)

Guess its just a money pit these days, which reminds me, i need to cancel my subscription

Religion/culture is selective, trust me you're Christian.

I've said I was atheist for years but when I sat back and thought about it I'm not. I'm true to fundamental Christian culture and traditions.

I don't go to confession, but that said my Muslim mate doesn't wash her hands seven times after petting her dog.

Another bellend comment from the village idiot.

No brother, I am Pagan if you want to categorise, and whereas Christianity stole Pagan beliefs and symbols and pretty much attempted to destroy the whole concept of believing in nature and the earth, I do not hold a grudge (like I dont with all the Muslims blowing people up).

This great country was built on many Christian fundamentals, whereas I may not agree with it, the people who fought for our country many a time did, so the UK shall have its Christmas, because I know for one, my Grandad who fought for this country, would appreciate keeping its traditions.

No remember, if they go back, life is crap under their religious law, hence why they left in the first place

I know of more and more muslims every year celebrating Christmas - Ok they wont be doing church mass or owt but gather with friends and family + loads of food + presents etc.. (or chicken if they cant be bothered cooking the turkey) so why dont you pull your heads out of your 4rses before you go mouthing out rubbish...

Oh and Merry Xmas fellow Scoobynetters!
