In the time that I posted a message this evening then clicked on it to make sure it was there ok it had recieved SIX hits!!! Think that says it all really!!!
This a extremely popular forum and deservedly so! I hope all the key people involved are able to step back every now and again, see how they have brought people together, hatched friendships that may last a lifetime, helped many with an interest that gives them the excuse to see more of the countryside and world, saved people money that has enabled more cars to stay 'alive' longer, and confirmed to those like me that I'm not mad in wanting a vehicle built to get me around in all weathers, that isn't half made of plastic, and has the added advantage of maybe being able to help a fellow man in distress.
Personally I solely use this forum, no others! That is for the reasons already stated by those above, who constantly prove themselves to be a great bunch of down to earth people, who are either full of enthusiasm like me, butalso those who can often act like gruppy old men (also like me).
If any of us can help take some pressure off every now and again, let us know, would keep us off ebay for a bit!!! In the meantime, THANK YOU, GREAT STUFF!!!

I thank, and sympathis with the all the hard work that goes into running this site. I ran a very small one for a club once and it was unbelievable the hassle I got, for example:
I gained my very own stalker - this guy would repeatedly phone me up at 11pm or 7am to complain about something, for example how he could not use the site from the computers in public library, and demand that I have it fixed for 9am the next morning!
We ran a status page on various systems, it was reliant on volunteers who looked after systems to mail in the status. Due to their own time commitments, this was on a "when it can be done" basis, oh the compaints I got because I could not read peoples minds.
I had to constantly spend my time deleting bad language, offensive material, potentially libeleous posts (cos it's the web manager that gets sued!) and wading through 100 emails a day of spam.
And then there was the drawback that the source code for the board was public domain so the deficiencies and holes could easily be seen and exploited by what I can only describe as vandals.
In the 12 months I did it, not ONCE did I get an email saying thanks.
So guys, THANKS, and to show how much I really care, I've just been to paypal and shown my THANKS with real hard currancy. I know this does not compensate for the hours lost patching code and having to put up with the misery of moaners, but hopefully it will contribute to the bandwidth costs.
Pete.

i missed the key thread that caused this, but what i certainly havn't overlooked is the fantastic effort put in by Tim and the admin team.
Thanks to MC i've met some crackin' folk from a broad range of backgrounds and continue to seek advise and guidence on all things 4x4 related.
my sincere thanks to all those involved in keeping MC running the way it does.
