i have recently joined another forum for mini moto bikes as my son now has one and i couldn't beleive how pompous they are. i tried to have a laugh and take the mick a little(start off gently)like we all do on here and i got a final warning off the "super moderator". he told me "there is no room for that sort of thing on his forum" i was just wondering what experiences other people have had with other forum's. is landyzone the most relaxed forum on the net or have i just found a one off. ;)

have to remember that the net is just like real life. the world is full of nice sane normal peeps. trouble is that there are some real moronic paranoid schitzos and numptys out there too.
one general forum i goto, has some real nice members. some of the others though have anal retention issues.

i blame the parents.
 
logged into the local "cruise" site on friday and got banned within the hour. its full of knobs with spoilered up 1.0 litre pieces of ****e so thought i'd log on and wind some folk up as i know most of them. (and work with 3 of them) my user name was knob jockey, drove a pink morris minor traveller with a hot tub fitted to the rear, said i swung both ways, lived in a tent and at the next "cruise" which is next weekend we could see how many people we could fit in the hot tub. ripped the **** outa my mates brothers car (cos he done the same me when i had a turquoise golf gti) and jesus, the site erupted. thought with them all being 17-20 year olds they'd see the funny side of things but no. as for the mini motos, i just sold mine (i'm 28!). great laugh but even more unreliable than a land rover!
 
Ive spent 8 years running forums. The biggest one is international, and attracts people with an interest in true crime, underworld and gangsters. Can you imagine how many of them ****wits ive had to endure. I must say i made some good friends, and still have them, but as forums go i reckon on the whole its certainly the best of its kind on the net today.

Now if you want anal retentive mate, you should try the caravan forums. I wont be unfair and name them on here, but one im on i cant even begin to express an opinion of anything slightly out of favour, cuz they all attack with their handbags and umbrellas. It reminds me of that character Kenny Everett used to do, the righteous guy in the bowler hat and suit, but when he turned round he was wearing suspenders with the back of his suit cut out.

There is another Land Rover forum, and some members from here are on it. As a source of info its good, but again very anal.

This one is a good laugh, i enjoy it immensely.


But you have to remember one thing. On the whole, moderators are usually stuck right up themselves, its a power thing. And ive seen loads on a power trip cuz they can ban or remove someone. Bullied at school springs to mind.
 
There's nowt wrong with Landyzone or the majority of folk that use it. However, there are other Land Rover Forums that seem to have a "covern or inner sanctum" of complete and utter Wakners with a controlling interest. I have personally experienced "security threats" sent to my PC from said forums, I know who they are, but without proof I'm gonna have bide my time (softly softly catch the monkey).

Regards WP.
 
I belong to another forum (snowboarding) and that is actually a really relaxed place (if you can manage the peace-mongers and stoners - i really don't want it to sound cliched - but its true lol) And have no trouble on there! But another forum i was on, mod's were always on power trips! terrible!
 
I'm on ORRP, recommended by someone on here. Nice place but a bit tit orientated. Not that I object to tits, I just don't want them to find out my missus is a FF.

I run a fishing forum. the rule on there is you write it, you own it. Theres only one mod and thats me. I do nothing.

I like this place because there's real people on here. There's no bigging yourselves up and if someone is a fukwit its pointed out plainly to them. Class place.

I won't talk about the metal detecting forum I belong to because you'll start calling me an anaorack and stuff.
 
Your a metal detectorist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yella watches big brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lennies got a Frontera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slobs gone missing probably with a woman!!!!!!!!!!!!

'Kinarseoles this place is going to the dogs.

Other forums I visit (lurk in) and what I think of 'em:

1) www.pointedthree.com - a new one for Mercedes owners. Lots of banter and an "anything goes" attitude. Not many members yet as it's new, but lots of activity.

2) http://forum.emlra.org - the Ex-Military Land Rover Association. Lots of rivet counting and a bit of banter. Members tend to get their posts deleted without warning. Handy if you want to know something specific.

3) www.mvwf.co.uk - Military vehicles. Another new one - set-up by some of the EMLRA chaps who were fed-up with the mystery post deleters at EMLRA. Off to a slow start but should pick up eventually.

4) www.mogmsgexch.com - Unimog forum (am I allowed to say that in here? :p ). Good for technical stuff about Mogs but the site is forever breaking down.

5) www.benzworld.org - Mercedes site. I am banned from this one. Yes that's right: BANNED! Why? because I made a post on pointedthree and the admin at benzworld got ze 'ump. The place is run by a bunch of little Hitlers: they read everybody's private messages and ban you if you dare to stray from their clutches.
 
ffs sake don't even, think about trying jaglovers forum. they have a take no prisoners attitude if you even think about posting a joke in the wrong part of the site, they just ban you .no warnings no **** all,the first you find out about it is when you go to post and get a message along the lines off. " we don't like that kind of thing ! yer banned ,now **** off" except they don't use words like 'yer and '****' but i got the ****er that banned me. signed the **** up to about 3 dozen gay dating sites.
and grunt yes it was a woman.
