Default Never Mind the Banned Users.

Shouldnt the one that have stopped posting be coaxed back ?

Its funny, looking through old threads you see names of posters that have not been banned but have just stopped posting, is there a full list accessible of all registered users we have access to, wouldnt it be worth sending them an email if things are as slow as they seem ?

There you go, start bickering now

30,000 fewer members when I first lurked (non-member) and the place was like an entertainment channel, in life people move on, some get richer and move up to classier cars, others have kids and vanish. Me I'm stuck with a 400 bhp car I love, but can't afford to change, so I'm still here.

I reckon 70% of "members" are lapsed in any real sense.

I reckon 10% of registered users are duplicate accounts for existing members.

The Infractions killed it - under the banner of the 'Community Decides' - what bollox that was!!

Infractions are still dished out for the most pathetic of reasons - in my experience. One bad apple in a bowl ruins the rest, as the saying goes.

Anyway - everyone knows there are just 3 members on here .... pslewis, puff and DCI - the rest are just aliases of those 3!!

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly .... I'm The Bad.

In that case I will ask: Which one of us is sarasquares?

Or am I talking to you/myself about a third party we already know is you/me/us/them?

I think the original STi is still an interesting car, and a well sorted one for performance from the engine and the handling with the bumpsteer removed and the solid rear roll bar linkages which balanced the car so well, it a car to be reckoned with just as much as ever it was.
