have you noticed what's happening on Mini2 look like we are getting a bit drawn into it now. well sort of in a way.

http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=111852

I still post on Mini2 and go on there for alot of info I reckon Paul Mullet and mods are coming under a lot of fire.

Jeez some of the guys on there takes thing serious. I've had a few great reads on the site recently with what is happening between SCNM and Mini2

[duncan]

Very interesting.
I've not been on M2 for a few weeks, but even then, never knew it was developing into this.

[sleepyrascal]

bloody hell. She has to much time on her hands!

[Burple]

Riiight, so she slags people off about starting their own forums, then does it herself.. hmm.

I know she's been around the scene a while and was even on a Cullen run with us, but I dodn't think I ever met her..

Not been on Mini2 for a bit either
.. so I can't really comment

..ah.. well apart from above ;)

[Gismo]

Well, i have not been on Mini2 for a wee while, but log on every now and then, i'm staggered at this, i've also read other threads, like this one from Soggy (http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=111728)
Just shows what a tremendous spirit we currently enjoy on NMS :)

What BS says :approve:

[GAJ]

I don't see how any of this has anything to do with NMS. Leave them to it and don't get involved would be my advice.

[Smitty]

Seems to me they take things far too seriusly, cuz at the end of the day its only a forum.:p

I log in regualry to two forums, including this one, but they don't ruke my life, seems as if some of these ppl are gettin to caught up in it!:dead::blackeye:

[Wul]

Sheesh - makes any of our wee indescretions look positively tame!

[sh@z]

lol, what the hell is that all about, i've not been on mini2 for over a year due to the clique nature or it and peoples attitudes on there... couldnae be bothered tbh.

Can someone summarise... and yes i did read the whole mammoth of a post that she made... lol!

edit: Just read the post by Soggy... BLOODY ELL... what a bunch of losers lol

[Fontal]

I remember when MINI2 was started and you could read every new post in one sitting, it used to be a great place but it just got too big IMHO.

[Burple]

Didn't know what to think at first, but the more I read about it, the more it seems liekthere were a couple of people out to cause trouble, and they succeeded.

I feel I need to add a bit about Dora's post as to why not so many NMS member frequent Mini2 any more..
I'm sure everyone has their own reasons, but I'm sure a few are similar to mine -
-It's getting too big to keep up with (Mini2)
-Most of the Runs organised on Mini2 are WAAAY down south, which is fine if you live around Birmingham and further south. 800 mile round trips for a run are not unusual for any of us to achieve, not to mention the extra fuel / lodgings costs.
-I *did* meet a bunch of Mini2'ers at Mini in the Park (03 I think) and I found their area and tried to make myself known, put names to faces , to have a chat - and was promptly ignored. We ended up spending most of the weekend with the Mintax (Ayrshire area classic owners) club, and had a blast
:D
Like I say, only my personal reasons.

There seems to be an awful lot of 'holier than thou' remarks made in the first part of the above, whilst the second is trying to restore order. I hope Soggy and the guys can keep it together. It would be a real shame to see all their efforts(and those of all other active members) flushed away by bickering and personal agendas.

In other news..
Damn, we're awesome ;) Glad to be amongst a bunch of fine (relatively) sane and stable personalities up here. Oh the banter! :D

Anyone feel like summarising for me?

You have a point there, Ewan.
However, the early Scottish Runs were organised on M2, and it was only after, I think, the Run from Montrose to Aberdeen/Dyce, way back in the mists of early 2003, which was when NMS took off, that the vast majority of Scottish Runs were organised here. It was only really Cullen, that I can remember being advertised on M2.

Infact, if you go to the NMS Homepage, it sums it up nicely:-
"The Scottish New MINI Club was founded by a group of MINI enthusiasts who met through various runs and meetings arranged on the MINI2.COM website."

Toys out cradle. Folk on the wind up, Mods deleted posts, and folk taking exception, people getting too carried away with things.

Better left out of it, and let them get on with it, as has been said earlier.

I dont think Dora was having a dig at NMS users, i think she was actually encouraging NMW and our community site to reinforce her argument against the failures of Mini2.

I've met Dora and found her to be a very nice person indeed. The reason i dont go on mini2.com is because its full of pretentious ******s.

That's pretty much it! MINI2 was the only place available really to organise things, so that's where it happened, till our own sparkly fluffy NMS took off. It's a lot less hassle for us, and they don't have us on Mini2 hassling them about why all the runs start so far away from us :D
I'm not complaing about any of it, but when something like Mini2 gets so big and international, then things like this will happen. It's pretty much unavoidable.
Like you said Duncan, it's best letting them get on with it, it doesn't need any more stirring up.

Haha. Nah, i was probably a bit harsh with that statement, its just hard to get involved over there because its so cliquey and there is an almost elitest attitude amongs some of the moderators.

[miniscot00]

I think we know where Dora is coming from - let's just not go there.

NMS exists so we don't have to get embroiled in the petty squabbles that seem to be a regular occurence on M2. Something Dora was kind enought to point out ;) Good luck to her - she's a nice person.

[Wul]

I've still got the wee fluffy apple thingy she handed out at the Cullen run somewhere! :D

Don't you hold back there now KJ :p;)

[sleepyrascal]

MINI2 can do things that Newminiscotland, by its very nature, will probably never acheive, and that is it has the ability to reach a significant audience outside of Scotland. But I don't think NMS ever intended to acheive global domination, right? This is why I used MINI2 to promote my recent aero kit group buy. It is also uselful for buying and selling.

MINI2 is very busy, and I think you have to be fairly clued up on the workings of forums to get the best out of it.

Could this be the beginning of the end for MINI2????

If I was a lesser man i'd be in the process of setting up a MINI2 rival... :eek:;)
