IMO nobody should be "kicked off" NMS as long as they stay within the rules and their behaviour is correct

    that is true but at the same time its ment to be a online comunity and if you dont put in then you should not get anything out of it and as i have said this is IMO

    i bye parts from are sponcers where possabile and also will be geting my self some NMS goodies this year as not got a wedding to pay for now !!!!

    and on another note if we where all to take the hump at some thing some one has said then this would be a very quiet web site
    i meen how meny time do i get a slaging cos of my spellin but do i give a rats ar$e NO !!!!!! cos its all a bit of banter


    EDIT- i have never said that anyone has been kicked off just what i think is right and wrong
    if greg wants to come back he is more than welcome but expect a slaging and take it on the chin like a man

    if you can take it dont give it out

    I don't see it as an online community rob (as you can tell by the amount of meetings/runs I organise). I believe the online part is the vehicle to give everyone the opportunity to drive their cars with likeminded individuals and people with a similar interest. I agree without the online part, this site would not be what it is, but I believe the "Offline" parts (runs/meetings/meals/karting/pubs/paintball) and the experiences and friendships we make should be what we remember.

    This is all IMHO of course

    I think main posters like Greig are great as he keeps threads going and gets more people involved. I totally missed the fog light thread so not sure what went on there though I feel Greig contributed a great deal to the site over his time and would be a shame for him not to be a poster on the site and on runs - he is the only S I could take and am missing the updates and pictures from Arran

    I think we are all guilty of the banter thing and I have never taken anything personal yet or went of in the huff. It's just not worth it

    Also for me it is a online community even though I go on some runs. Some folks you take to some folks you don't but thats life and you just get on with it

    If Greig is reading this thread then only he can decide whether he wants to be involved via posting taking the rough with the smooth.

    Oh Crombers are you beginning to melt? haha

    I hope he joins in again, i've been here 6 years and he's one of a select few that really make an effort with us young pups on the runs. The banter with him and Kim on the Twilight run made the weekend for me really.

    It's up to him at end of the day but im sure most people would welcome him back to the fold.

    As for kicking people off that don't come on runs but use sponsors, i feel thats a bit short sighted. The club has an online presence aswell as an offline and both should be catered for. Not to mention the fact that we generate business for sponsors who are more likely to support us if they are getting business through the site. If we start kicking people off sponsors will get less business fom NMS and will be less likely to support us again.

    Just my view

    From Factory JCW to Audi TT Quattro - Might be back one day!

    I can't remember any arguments kicking off in the foglight thread?

    Just remember a quote saying that the majority of us on here drive like idiots, didn't offend in any way though. Took it as banter as usual

    I didn't say anywhere in there rob that you were wrong. we just see things differently, thats all and thats normal.

    I also didn't say is was only an online forum...
