amen to that, why do you think I've not been around ?
I have had *quite* enough of people second guessing our moderators and admins.
TULL:
i think you will find there are a few of us that have got a bit dissolusioned lately, and migrated to other forums, dont get me wrongthe club still has a place on my desktop , and is still a great source of knowledge, thats what it should it be, THE PAST IS THE KEY TO THE FUTURE

I'll get this first thing straight. I'm not questioning the Moderators actions, just the reason why the Moderators took the action.
A driver got his motor stuck in a field after trying to prove that it was a capable off-roader. I recovered it, a m8 photographed it. When I got home I posted it on this forum because I found it amusing. The Mods locked the thread.
Why?
Because someone, somewhere was worried that the "anti's" would see it and it would further thier cause. Fair play to the Mods, they had a complaint and followed it up and sent me a PM explaining why, reasons which I support them for.
My "problem" with it is this. Kow-towing to the anti's and a fear of supplying them with ammunition is stifling free discussing and tales of derring doo - which is surely what this forum is about.
Tell me I'm wrong. Please.

That's pretty much the same thing as far as I can see...

Or... a driver who had been drinking, drove illegally on private land.. and got stuck.. and then someone else drove on the field too to prove a point.

OK.. you are wrong.
Trust me.. I've happily gone to the mat with the antis... on many occasions. But tales of 'derri doo' like that make it very hard to build a compelling case that we aren't as bad as they want people to believe.
There is no kow-towing, but there is a stand that the admins and moderators, as the people responsible for the site, choose to take... and do so.

Believe it or not I am going to take the moderators side. This forum is tries to get the members to take the GLASS code to heart and would not want to encourage members to disregard the advise given for responsible greenlaning. Although there are stil pictures of multi convoys going down greenlanes, I thought the recommended max was three. But it must be great to have a convoy of 4x4. intimadating for others though.
