pointless forum

[J12BDM]

This retort was wonderful

I'm fairly new too this forum and think it's fantastic, informative and very friendly thumbs up to the mods who look after it


PS and all the people who contribute too it

Yeah I'm going to second that, I think this forum is great and far from "pointless" as the title describes.

I was a bit miffed that there was no classified section when I joined but I can understand why.

At the end of the day if you want spare parts do what everyone else does and look for them yourself! I have even seen posts on here directing people towards ebay members who regularly break leons.

Mods: Keep up the good work, you are doing a great job!

Joe: If you don't like the forum you don't have to look at it, most other owners clubs charge people to gain access to certain areas. There is loads of info, advice on here for free! You could always pay to host your own leon forum with a classified section!?

tbh all the mods to a great job in keeping these forums fit and healthy, and keeping my pet hate away... the annoying 'txt spk' youngsters!

Indeed, i got to a point of just deleting threads in txt speak, saying learn to write or something. Used to edit them at the start, and still do if i feel nice, but the number of those has dropped down which is great.

*thread moved*

do you think it will EVER come back?

 

[seatcupramad23]

yeah but don't think in my lifetime lol . i hope it comes back soonish , ebay fees are killing me

 

[m0rk]

Depends.

It needs some investment in my time. I don't have much at the moment.

The software licence I've already bought, I just need time to install, customise & tailor a template for it.

 

[seatcupramad23]

would funding from members help speed up the process

 

[m0rk]

Nope. You guys couldn't donate enough to warrant coming home earlier from work!

 

[seatcupramad23]

ok just a taught

 

[m0rk]

That and my time for the forum is free & we'd never take money from members

 

[oldskool]

ok, im the same with ebay ripping me off , loads of bits ready to sell and hopefully pick some parts up off here.

+1 on that buddy

What about other members taking the parts for sale section on board. Moderating kinda thing.

Sorry but there are plenty of ways of not being ripped off. Common sense is most of it. That's the only thing this site lacks which is a shame. There are other much larger sites that have it and is a very good way to build confidence amongst the users.

 

[m0rk]

It requires server side work, not forum moderation

 

[big eck]

I know that it will require actually putting it back on the site but the biggest thing I would have thought would deffo be the moderation of it.

You know there's this superb thing I found called google, it's amazing, takes you to places that sell stuff other than ebay? What's with that?

 

[big eck]

Also why stop people asking for parts??? Surely that's a lot safer and keeps the site owners/admin out of the equation???

No **** Sherlock.

It's things like this that piss people off the most, asking genuine questions and some one trying to be a big shot by making stupid comments.

fight

runs for cover

 

[big eck]

Not at all mate lol

It just does my head in a bit when I'm trying to have a decent conversation with someone and someone else pops in with a half arsed attempt at being a smart ass.

Its possibly bacause this very same convo has reared its head time and time again since the classifieds closure and it does get a bit tiresome after a while. now as for people still trying to sell parts, yes, it still happens, and the posts are generally deleted as soon as they are seen..
