:) My posts were accidently deleted by a mod when I reported a spammer. Instead of the spammer being deleted I was lol. Mark has a back up of all my posts but is trying to find a way of implementing them back into the forum. It doesn't sound like an easy task considering there was nearly 8,000 to put back.

I've certainly learnt a valuable lesson. I will never report another post on this forum again :p

Henners old fruit, I wouldn't worry about losing your posts if you know what I mean :p

( whoops, forgot the :) )

As a noob here, I think the forum is just great as it is.

I'm a refugee from the lack of television coverage of the WRC. Though I've some involvement in motorsport through my son, I never really had much reason to join a motorsport forum before. Having fun here though following the WRC rounds on threads, Pickems and general discussion. It all seems pitched about right to me.

It is quiet though, I had a day off sick and whilst watching lots of videos on Rally Sweden, there I was posting away and felt like I had taken over the entire WRC forum lol.

It is true though forums are not what they were, I've run one for years that is not motorsport related and traffic these days is just a trickle compared to 10 years ago.

The forum looks great..

That could be an interesting experiment... anything borderline gets moved to the "Sin Bin" or "Donkey Room" or "Troll's Playground" or whatever.

Except that wasn't me.

This forum is dying because there is no room for those who don't agree with a clique.

"il real tamburello" :eek: Prove it :dozey: ;)

Wey hey hey!!! Welcome back :)

You've had a few identities here mate and every single one of them has been great fun. At least you are back with your proper name, the best one by far ;)

I don't agree there is a clique here as such. There's always room for different opinions as long as the intent isn't to get personal and negative. I don't think anybody comes here to read nasty comments and we were all guilty of that in the past. It all got rather silly last time around.

Why not start a fresh Tamb? I'd buy you a beer if I could :beer:
