Default Seriously no one cares! This is an owners club.

Why so many threads involving people arguing? This is an owners club forum. We may all have a similar interest but we are all entitled to have a difference of opinion. If this club stopped tomorrow would I live my life any different? No I wouldn't. But I am glad it is here due to the wealth of info , helpful members and classifieds. Lately it seems to be full of posts without people actually saying anything, almost posting for the sake of posting to get attention? I don't mind this at all. If this is a major part of your life- that's fine but for some people including myself it's not. I just wish there wasn't as many disagreements because in the grand scheme of things it means nothing. Why can't we all just get along?

I wouldnt worry if this club stopped, Yes a huge shame it would be, the there is always the other site and we would all frequent ther, More!!, which in all honesty has just as much info and help, it's just down to where you feel use to

I understand what you are saying bud, BUT, at the end of the day, at this stage in the clubs existence how much NEW info would ever come up, it's always gonna be revamped old info, How too's aside

Hi. Maybe because there are so many options for different categories of thread. As you say, not everyone will agree on things... We all have different views and perspectives about different things.... Is that not what makes us unique.?

I attended a meet today and i travel a fair distance to meets in england on a fairly regular basis , i do this to meet and talk with ROVER/MG folk , i also have made many good friends in my time as a member both here and on ORG but i have to say right here and now there are some people on here who aint happy unless they are pulling someone up for one thing or another , MISCHIEF MAKERS like to stir it up and wind folk up .

Luckily we all know them and they can try their best but trust me it wont work !!!!.

MODS can stomp on troublemakers ANYTIME they want and in my opinion they let it go on too long , we have great mods on here but they let members be picked on and wound up too long .

Or the flip side is that we let people have their say without straight jacketing them. If people push it too far we step in.

Perhaps you'd rather we took a firmer hand then, would that make for a happier forum? I think perhaps not......
