Welcome back, nothing much has changed except it is much quieter than when DCI started this thread!As far as I know DCI handed in his orange club membership and has fooked off from here.

Muppets was formed as the "skip" of SN for all the gurgle and nonsense to be dumped there. Then it was blessed with some creative participation due to it's mere nature of "anything goes here". But then, under "anything goes here", some abuse to the fringers took place there as well- very similar in principle to MPs claiming unreasoable expenses So, once that area was disciplined, the victorious second and third grade clowns left the area too, as they were not good enough to instigate or hold the humour. Some sporadic left overs/ first grade quality comedians also departed, because their jokes were like reading Oscar Wilde in a non-responsive rattery. Then came the mighty infractions, legalised abuse, in retaliation to then-existing abuse; that cracked the very windscreen of Scoobynet. The "vision" of the forum got blurred, the performance of the forum went in a lurch. Many baddies, but also a few good, non-nasties with "speaking mind" disposition were banned with them, as they opened their mouth too much for His choice and His Masters Voice Then came a new admin. He disarmed "the fools and the fabulous" crowd from the infraction tool, thank God! Now good modertion under a considerate admin here aborts trolling at first sight. No mutiple identities, no **** takes place any more. Voices are not curbed unless they are utterly unreasonable. Community spirit grows again in harmony and understanding. To face it, Subaru car itself is not as popular and cutting- edge anymore. Recession does no justice to car buyers either. These circumstances also have significant impact on all the commercial forums. In my opinion, this place is doing fine. Anyone who wants to revive Muppets in the middle-fashioned way needs have a job that allows/justifies all-hours internet access to the forums, or needs to be an unemployed comedian. Then he/she would need about 10 @rsekissers in the same situation, to take the glory further. Good luck to all the contestents.

Great post but from my experience in any tumultuous debates, I will be curtailed even before I have warmed up......
Possibly fully paid up members have more "clout" or even value to SNet

Shame if this is the way you have felt. From what I have read, you come across to be a good poster. Posters like you make this place interesting. Thanks for joining.
I don't know about paid and unpaid differences TBH. One year for a wrong reason I admit, I ended up becoming a paid member too. I didn't think I was offered any extra priviledges for £30 per annum fee. I was even required to ask for Scoobynet merchandise later, that you would expect to be automatically sent to you because you have become a paid member. LOL I didn't bother. In further years, I didn't want to pay for the membership just to gain a nasty infraction gun. I am not a great SN buyer, seller or a track-racer. So there is no point in me paying to get in here. The only way to make people pay is to ask everyone for a fee. But then, the traffic will thin, and the buyers who pay substantial money to advertise here won't get much sale out of this forum. Back to what we were talking about
, it should make no difference to how people are treated here, paying or non-paying.

"Muppets" is dead, "NSR" is deader than it used to be and General is full of "Neds in their Sheds" ..... 
That fatty lobster fella from IB posts infrequently and mainly in reply to "it's knackered, please fix it" type posts, and everyone is being ripped off by Islamic Razi's!
Things are that bad even J4CKO's attempting to lighten the mood with jokes (I should highlight "attempting"
)
This place needs a kick up the harris

Like all good watches; It tells the time Of course if I wanted a performance watch; I'd invest in one that tells the time quicker and does 0-60 in under 60 seconds. 
Thing is, you may have stumbled upon a point:
NSR has been host to a number of resident blaggers over the years. And the past high times 80's-esq boom have borne a prevelent crowd of new-age yuppies boasting of their gains, admiring each others, and asking what to do with a surplus cash in excess of £500K whilst keeping it safe from kinky girlfriends and bitter ex-partners.
Of course, now the bubble has officially burst. This breed of men are now concerned and wary that their once high value assets are no longer as lucrative as they originally thought, that combined with lack of liquid assets and their partner spending it all to enhance their own "assets". This means that they are in trouble, less wanting to brag, and are too ashamed to ask for advice on how to get the mortgage/finance/cc companies off their back with impossible repayment schemes. During which, they fall behind on their payments for internet connections at home and lose thir job.
This ultimately results in them no longer having any acess to scoobynet.
Just a theory

NSR certainly has it's fair share of these types about, not naming names ofcourse.
For the record I wear a Sekonda Titanium which has a battery with a lifetime guarantee

Sekonda Titanium; Nice.
I have a Sekonda "One"
Endorsed by Petter Solberg, apparently. Well, thats what I was told by a Scoob WRC enthusiast who noted it admirably and incinuated that I purchased the watch due to its ties with the Subaru WRC. I was like: "Wut? its a £50 watch, I bought it 'cos it looked pretty"

Nowt wrong with Scoobynet in my opinion, every section bar NSR, Muppets and the Other Marque are generally very busy.
NSR and Muppets are very odd places for new posters to come as its full of cliques which can be quite threatening at times. Most of these cliques have at least one self obsessed bandit which the others leech onto, its also quite pathetic to see on every other post.

I referring to no one in particular as there is quite a few that seem to have a flock behind them who i have watched abuse and belittle other members of this site in very much the same way and bully with his gang would pick of the newboy in primary school.
Luckily I haven't had this happen to myself but I certainly know i wouldnt return if it did happen.
No your defo not the only one. NSR has some great characters and some that aren't like every website, there just seems to be alot of bad little boys and girls on here.
To be honest me saying this is a bit Pot calling the Kettle black cus i have been known to be a complete toerag too.

No-one's posted properly in Muppets for two years, cliques or otherwise, so I don't know what you're on about.
