Angry

Gold members, subscription, Racist accusations and threads that have no place on this BBS, what’s going on why are people loosing direction on why this BBS is here ???

I no longer have my Scooby but I think I built a good car for very little money when I did have it, a lot of the technical information was gathered from here, the reason I am still on the BBS is I have a lot of mates on here.

Get a grip.

With all due respect. The gold membership WAS just a suggestion. The racist comments stuff I missed, being away for a day or so, but it was the first time anything like that has ever happened in the 2+years i've been on.

Keep the faith. Things are in progress that will make this place better than ever!

...which is why it's up to us to ensure that the overall quality of Scoobynet remains by contributing good material, information and discussion.

It's a big community, so you get all kinds of people on here.

Doesn't mean it has to be all bad.

Suggesting the end is here is a bit over the top - no?

Exclamation

Can we get this straight please..... There were no rascist comments made, certainly not by me and a little comment that couldn't really be construed as rascist by another member, more of a joke by someone who had enough of a certain member's pathetic, backwards attitude towards how we mod our scoobs and who/ what we use to do this
Everybody is jumping up and down about NOTHING WHATSOEVER.....
Sheesh.....
Everyone just calm down and get over it, please.....

Nick.

Unhappy

To start when I said the end is here I meant of Scoobynet as we know it due to some of the small minded few, also Nick well said as if you read my first post it states accusations as I could see no racist comments, just some banter.

Afraid I agree, the end of Scoobynet as we knew it. Gets more like a childrens playground by the day.

I've never seen anything I'd consider racist. But now we are moving into classic PC territory. With the usual justification, i.e. you may consider it a joke or banter but it indicates underlying racism/homophobia.

I didn't bother to look for Nicks post so can't comment. But I did unfortunately see the first few responses to True Brit's question of a British alternative to a Scoob.

Am I missing something, what was wrong with the question? If he asked for an Itallian alternative, would there have been an equivalent outcry?

Banshi, have a look halfway down here:

http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/thread.asp?threadid=76594&Page=1

This should give you an idea of whay things seem to have been blown out of proportion.

Darren, What I posted was not meant at all aggressively, I was just trying to re-iterate the basic facts behind the rascism rants of late.

Cheers,

Nick

Totally agree, I have been using Scoobynet for over two years and it seems to be getting worse and worse...

That's it?
I'd already read that from start to finish and thought the comment must be related to another thread
