Jim, saw your new thread on AO which I thought was excellent.
John, I would suggest that they banned him for his most recent comment.
Interestingly, my thread which I started after the one "shrew left today" which was titled 'so what now" I noticed got moved to the rant room has now quietly been deleted. This was a continuance of the first one - but they really are just trying to gag people. Oddly, Kev seems to think that some good will eventually come out of it, I only hope he knows more than the rest of us.
I had a note from one of the Admin team, which I understand are highter up than the mods. I perceive something is going on, but I really am not feeling at all well disposed to any of the 'management' after the cavalier way in which they have been dealing with things recently.
Could not believe that post recently when one of the mods was sticking up for Paintergirl saying she was the real deal I really had to pinch my self on that one. Sent a PM to the author perhaps suggesting that he is delusional - never got anything back. _________________ The faster the better. |

Mark,
Didn't realise that, as you say 'under the rug'. No wonder I couldn't find it, and therefore did not receive a notification about its deletion.
I would never have thought to have looked there, when you bear in mind that it had previously been moved from the 33 section to the rant room and then to it probable penultimate resting place _________________ The faster the better. |

A new thread has recently opened in the sud 33 section on AO and the discussion has begun again. I think I may get a ban, this is my post.
The Shrew left today thread was closed like this by Paul R...
"Guys,
This is meant to be a technical section. We've had a good discussion on a non technical issue.
I've enjoyed contributing and I am sure you have all too. But time to close this now.
Thanks."
Note the wording "this supposed to be a technical section" and "non technical issue"
Now I have just been perusing the 916 lounge (as I have one as well as a 33) where I found quite a lot of what I would describe as non technical threads
Examples below, read through and take note of some of the contributors.
http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-...r-on-ebay.html (White spider on ebay)
http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-...n-the-bay.html (12k miles on the bay)
http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-...42177-diy.html (Diy)
Guys
Surely should of been moved to image lounge??
Thanks _________________ Presntly own

It's not quite that simple, while I can get all the support I need for the 33 here
And of course the friendly banter and best of all, Lees abuse!!
I also have a 916 spider and like the 33 community there is a vast knowledge
base in that section that I tap into occasionally.
So not going to delete just yet, anyway there's still some mischief making to
be done over there _________________ Presntly own

You love it Ian.
Most topics/problems have been covered on the 916 by now I would have thought, nothing a Google search wouldn't throw up anyhow. But, by all means cause some more agro over there and convince some more people that the boxer community could thrive here without the need for a glossy web page and shite moderation. |

Chris (supercharged16v) has now also just left AO.
As well as Oui4824. (sorry H can't quite recall your name).
I think some others have gone too.
Looking extremely quiet over there at the moment.
I have sent him (chris) an e-mail to catch up as well as explain my current thinking.
Interesting times.... _________________ The faster the better. |

It would seem that Ghostydog is indeed trying to sort things out a little, however much as I found it is a bit like trying to push water uphill....
He seems exasperated, even as a regional representative, who I guess should have some voice, but I can only presume that the group of mods run around like a pack of leaderless morons - with few able, or empowered, to make a decision. They perhaps feel that something could possibly happen, one day, but it just doesn't.
What is odd, if find, is that the few people who continue to post (new threads) do not seem to realise that nearly all the key players have now left. Oh well! _________________ The faster the better. |

Well that's good news.
Seems things are not as rosy as they once were over on AO. Long may it continue. _________________ The faster the better. |

Making reference to some of the mods and and in the same sentence a past German Nazi dictator did it for Supercharged16v.
Probably not too difficult to get banned....
Remember I got banned just for correcting a mod who clearly had a ego bigger than his ability _________________ The faster the better. |
