I wonder why everybody on this forum looks short to you.
Are you the "long skin'' type? :confused:

Probably because I thought he was talking about the FIA.

I got the impression Bob was quite old, maybe 60's or 70's.

You're never "quite old" until you're dead. :D

Now it's 6 pm and that's when I'm lucky to head back home, kiss Mrs. Tamasz, cross swords with a 5 year old pirate and smile to a 2 month old shouter.

I miss that - I return home to psychological warfare with my two! If need be I'll also talk to the Trouble & Strife :laugh:

Anybody remember Austin Brammer ?

haha yeah. The kind of troll who is annoying but not so annoying to get banned straight away. He did get banned eventually but I remember it being a big decision for the mods.

I didn't know about the ''shouter''. Congrats. Is a soprano or a tenor?

There also used to be a Santa that was not so jolly.

Janvanvurpa hasn't been around in a while. Often he would stay in the rally forums but usually made it into Chit Chat for at least some political bickering!

At least this thread showed that even some old posters don't post anymore they still come here from time to time.

One of my all-time favorites! He's "Doc Austin" on Track forum, an Indycar site.

Anyone know what happened to yellowcardude?

I think he was banned a long time ago.

redcarddude . . . . 'groan"




OilyOaf is a classic.

Was there ever a member called thelikelylads?

If so, what happened to them.......

:)

Shall I get me coat?

Hi all :wave:

I'm still alive and well thanks. I am indeed very busy though with the new band and various other projects that include voluntary article writing, a car-spotting blog, a motor technology course which begins in September and a temp-job at my trusty courier company. I used to post religiously but found that since the move to a new server a few years back (2005? 2006? I can't remember!), the vibe on the forum radically changed and coming back on board, I feel like an outsider save for the old-skoolers that still knock around ;)

Motorsport and motoring is still a big piece of my life and interests though I've not had time to commit to following any series completely this season except F1. I've been planning to get back posting but want to wait until I catch up on all of the 2013 action I've missed in BTCC, WRC and MotoGP first.

Hope all the other members are enjoying life :)

Whatever happened to Faster69. ;)

I still remember a great F1 fan from Canada (F1 Guru) who used to post a lot between 2001 and 2004/5. Great poster and a nice person too...

I think Vettel felt he needed a new PR man so made the call.

veeten is another member who needs to be mentioned. He's still here but his contribution is zero compared to what it used to be. Very sad, specially because he's a very funny and wise man.

Oh, interesting. I personally can hardly believe I have been here since 2006. That's seven years. What is even more astonishing that during this time period I feel I have improved absolutely loads as a person, so that I can hardly recognize myself from that time - perhaps more felt in everyday life rather than forums. However, one day I searched for my old posts here and at times I got an impression of being a hopeless fanboy. :p : But interesting anyway - while so much has changed in life, one thing has remained a constant - participating in MSF discussions. :p :

I agree with DexDexter that perhaps the whole forum thing is in a decline. However, I am personally not on Facebook and social media either, so I am not used to the like-buttons here that people at times use. :p :

I agree with pino's thought that it would be pleasant to meet you people too. So whenever someone comes to Estonia, you can let know. :) Or if I happen to go somewhere in a foreign country one day.

I see the point made by wedge that the forum has been in a decline. However, it is hard to quantify, because "fanboy-discussions" and personal attacks have always been part of forums, but maybe they have been more visible since we have fewer active members.

Weird that people mentioned soprano as it relates to singing and then we find that Tony Soprano has died.
Great actor, James Gandolfini (sic)

That was ages ago, you've got a good memory race!

So we need to have a worldwide Motorsports Forum Day and all get together somewhere. :D

Lets all meet at next years Monaco GP. :p

I miss Tamb. Whatever happened to that guy? ;)

Oh Stevie, you're such a wag :laugh:

I miss Champignone Ferrari :andrea:

What about missing Saint Devote? A truly dedicated Button fan, but what made him special was that I don't really remember him bashing other drivers (which fans can easily do), but just being sincerely in awe of Button's skills. How nice. :)

y!man and the Butterfly Queen :)

I mentioned him when I opened the thread. You are right, he didnt tend to bash others, but he got frustrated by people needlessly bashing JB.

I have those same feelings really. People on threads still bash JB for moaning or being too slow, but generally there is no need to bash any drivers. Afterall they are all pretty good.

Trolling is the plague of these forums.

Debate without aggression would be bliss.

Although this years Le Mans thread was tiny in comparison to previous years, it's a shining beacon of how discussion on motorsport should be, not the tiresome tedious **** that you see in the F1 forum on here.

I'd love to meet you too Pino, maybe one day. I've often wondered what people are like in real life, even the keyboard duellers. I suppose this is generally quite an anonymous pass time, but I'd like to think I'd never say something here that I wouldn't to ones face. There's a couple of posters who live near me from what I gather too :)

You don't want to meet Pino, trust me, he'll be all Galli this, Galli that, why you no pick Galli! Why you pick Warmbold and so on, it gets tiresome after a while :p

Kidding of course, Pino is great ;)

If anyone wants to keep in touch outside of here, feel free to add me on facebook if you can find me :p
