I have always supported this forum through rough times and supported it's decisions. I have made helpful how to's, invited members to my home to work on their car for free. Made good friends, raised money to remember members taken from us too early.

Unfortunately, the hypocrisy and two faced comments going on here are just not what the forum once was.

Now, as a paid up trader I am not welcome to advertise because it is deemed provocative. Any chance of a refund then?

The forum is a shadow of the great place it once was.
Really? it's not life or death though Rich

Perhaps a link in your sig would be more appropriate, tbh Rich, what did you expect?

Nope, just trying to make use of my traders subscription, seems though I am not allowed to do so.

Not life or death, you are quite right. Does say more than was just written though.

It's a shame Bri, it makes me sad

As the whole fuss was about TOAF being advertised without paying a traders fee, I thought it would be acceptable from someone who had paid traders fee to do it.

Apparently not

Was planning on keeping out of this altogether, but what the hell.

We all know the reason you became a trader again, you pretty much said as much the day you did it.

As already said by others just grow up a bit, we're all supposed to be grown men.

So, paying trader fees doesn't put you on a level field? Is there some other kind of activity I should perform? Rubbing my belly and patting my head?

My money different to other traders?

Perhaps just wrong time to do it, with the recent uproar. Maybe a little dust settling was needed first,and then a more subtle approach? Not having a dig you understand, just trying to suggest a "compromise" for want of another word, to allow you to trade without it causing more unrest. Oh I don't know what I'm trying to say really, I'm off to kip now anyway

Hi.
My intention of starting this thread was to bring us together and be one in the preservation of our cars and club.
I also thought it might be useful for airing our differences and getting some common ground, seems like it was a waste of my time and many others.

I would now like to ask the moderators to close this thread as it is getting nowhere.
I am bitterly disappointed at some of the comments and views.

I'll be very surprised if a thread closure isn't just round the corner (again)

edit beat me to it by seconds.
