If I only have 3 quid in my pocket then it's not a lot.

On the other hand if I get sex 3 times in one night I consider that a lot.

Seriously though, I remember when I bought my Hilux and joined the forum, nearly 2 years back now. The only forum experience I had was with a few of the Land Rover ones. So so negative in general and especially when they found out that I was buying a Jap truck (slitty) can’t you enjoy more than one 4x4! Anyway, when I first joined this forum I thought, this is a good bunch of people. It was a refreshing change from the fighting and self righteous ego’s I was used to. I do spend most of my time now on the US or Australian hilux forums, much more balanced and friendly, sorry! And people actually reply to my posts which is good!

I’d rather muddle through with a problem I might have with my Surf than post a question looking for help on this forum now; I do use the search I should say!

It must feel a little Masonic on here for new members. It’s like trial by fire and bullsh8t for newbie on here.

The reason the U.S and Oz forums are generally different is because they practically insist on participants being either:

1) In need of help.

2) Willing and able to offer help.

You'll note most of the forums are just as pedantic, (no matter which country they are based in), with regards to people using the search facility.

The problem on here is that we seem to have some members who find it perfectly normal to try and #### people off forever and a day, but who never actually contribute anything useful in any of the tech sections, or to tech questions in general.

That is the difference. Nothing more. Go to any of the U.S or Oz forums and act like a troll and the vitriol we may pour on those members here pales in comparison to how the other forums would treat those members.

New members tend to get caught in the middle on occasion, granted, but that's usually when the ones with verbal shits decide to jump in and contribute a big bag of feck all once more, peeing everyone off in the process.

People can complain about the grumpy and jaded buggers on here forever and a day, but if they did leave the forum, as the whingers frequently suggest, approx. 75% of the tech knowledge would disappear along with them.

I'm pointing out a simple fact. Your post was hypocritical.

Don't do so bad meself, now you mention it...

[Scorpion]

Crap! I promised myself I was just going to walk away and leave this alone but I just can't help myself!

As it happens I was around at Koi's today as if it was any of your business.

So what? You were around Koi's, I still don't see a paid up members star on your profile. You're right, it isn't any of my business, I don't know you so why should I care? Why did you feel the need to tell me?

But I've seen a lot of people who come on forums saying they are not going to visit any more because of this or that,
Well. don't come here anymore, don't make a drama.

Read my post, I didn't say I was leaving, I said I'd give it a rest for a while. I actually do have some good friends on here and it was more of an informative post for them. Please don't tell me not to come on here anymore, I've been a paid up member for a lot of years, I've contributed write ups and advice when needed and I have no intention of letting someone like you bully me into leaving. No drama, just a statement in the General section of the forum.

And mind the door don't hit your a$$ on the way out.

Nope, you've lost me with that comment!

my thoughts exactly

And what have I done to upset you?

Can we keep this thread alive, then anyone else who wants to say the same thing can say it here? Then maybe the rest of the forum might get a chance to recover without the constant drip, drip of people making big announcements that they're leaving?

What big anouncement? Read my post, nowhere does it state that I'm leaving.

Oh, and by the way, the irony of 'having a rest' for a mere couple of hours before feeling the need to reply to this post is not lost on me.

my bighorn is actually a little one

No, you're right with the first one...

This forum is unique because of the way we interact i admit there have been some odd balls on here, but i have got so much good advice from all the people who contribute to help others, we all have. If you dont like a response you dont have to follow it up. I would like to say thank you to all who have offered advice to me in the past...............OH i am not going anywhere
