WEBSITE : shut it down / keep it going...

[playboy_bunnie]

I think people have reasons to be pissed and move as Halfloaf does seem to react rather slowly to problems of the forum (nothing new, it had been somewhat like that since the very beginning).

However, I am quite disappointed with some mods by the way they had in numerous occasions expressly encouraged members of this forum to leave this site for the other.  I think that could be considered a betrayal to Halfloaf for making them mods in the first place and lacks the ethics of being a mod - which is to be loyal and encouraging to the site and its members, and not to step on it and discourage other members from staying.  If you don't like the site no more, surrender your position as a mod and just leave - don't go around encouraging people to abandon this site for the other.  I myself joined the new forum but I am still here and have no intention of abandoning this one for good nor would I want it to be shut down.

Although I will also blame Halfloaf for this (sorry mate, this is nothing personal, just being honest!) as I think he was way too lenient in picking new mods back then.  I mean, anyone who was desperate enough to nominate themselves to be a mod was automatically made a mod?  Its no surprise the quality of the new mods' ethics turned out to be questionable. (btw, this is not directed to ALL the new mods, I know some had been good)

My 0.2p.

P.S. My post is about the ethics and morals of a mod, not how much work they had done for the site.  So if anyone dares to come and try to counter argue my post by saying that they had done this and done that to try to keep the spammers away or whatever then you do not get my point and will be ignored.

Here here!!

i totally agree... I dont disagree with the new site, nor do I really like to leave the old one. But if Halfloaf / mods dont IMPROVE the site, then it really doesnt leave members any alternative. Im on the fence with this one, I think if Civic-EP2 cleaned up its act, then I'd stay and not bother with the new one... as it feels like Im repeating myself all over again.

Im pretty glad Ray and that have left, as most of there posts were spam. This site was fine till all these moaning bitches joined, and now theyve left I hope it returns to the way it was.

You`re a fukkin knobend, always have been always will, i hoped you wouldn`t come to ephatch but ah well there`s always some little gobshite around to spoil an otherwise cracking community

You have a new username coz no doubt your old one was banned for not posting in 3 months, and on the new 1 you`ve only clocked up 160 but you think you`re some sort of fukkin Yoda

Do yourself a favour and don`t fukkin diss us again you total absolute saddo billy-no-mates gobshite

Me and Ray are meeting up in a couple of weeks to go to a car show, why not come along and put your money where your f****n gobshite mouth is?

betraying Halfloaf? If this place was as swarmed with spam now as it has been the last few weeks then none of this conversation would be taking place, the site would have no-one on and we`d all be on ephatch. Yeah, finally Halfloaf has pulled his finger out his arse but after how long?
And the place still looks like a dirty ashtray, seen better looking outfits at the queue for pensions in the post office

It`s just a bloody website, those of you getting your knickers in a twist over it, I have been here longer etc FFS what do u want a bloody medal?

I don`t care which site I use, but obviously the most easiest on the eye and spam free is gonna be first
Does that make me an unloyal scumbag??/
If you think so then I really won`t miss  your conversation anyway

cheers mate, that shows what fucking appreciation members get for being here. i havent posted one bad topic or post, ive offered to make a homepage, ive moderated the forums deleting porn, and still i get pissed and moaned on for being, what, helpful? sorry man but you got a shit argument there. i dont claim to be the greatest member or longest, just another guy interested in civics. I aint done nothing wrong and the reason for the move was because it seemed halfloaf had gone, not because i thought anything bad of this site or anything. the move wasnt because the other place was pretty at all, it was because it had counter measures for spammers and also has a great admin who is on everyday and listens to our ideas and suggestions and implements them straight away. no dissing halfloaf as i hardly know him and so he may be a busy guy but hope he can see where i am coming from.

EP2, your rants finished, now shut it lol

I wouldn`t waste your time mate, he`s got f****n issues, sounds like he had no toys to play with as a kid the sad f##k

[nickyboy]

Oh, and the only difference being made a mod is you have to spend half your time deleting spam, and the other half deleting more spam
So I dunno why people have a beef with some Mods, if anything you should maybe listen try to imagine what it was like for us spending all our time deleting and deleting spam, hence I was very quick to appreciate a new forum of the same subject matter but no spam. My wrists feel better already, thought I was gettin athritis for a while

[saltyworm]

mate take a chill pill... u did nothing other then swearing at our fellow members  :roll:  dont think that helps...

And the place still looks like a dirty ashtray, seen better looking outfits at the queue for pensions in the post office

surely thats not a nice thing to say about a site that bought u the info's u much needed at the time when u didnt know much about ur EP2....without this site u wouldnt have learnt so much in your past months...

this forum mite not be the best lookin site but ur not here to please ur eyes?! ur here to talk about ur car and learn about ur car... as JU said if people prefer the other site why not jus go over there?! instead of making a big fuss about how shit this site is and start encouraging people to join up and ditch this site?!

[epcivic]

i kinda agree to wot civictypereplica said  :roll:  the new forum thing is kinda all happend so quickly... and this spammin thing jus seems fishy  :roll:

I was going to say that but refrained. I personally think Anthrax_U has something to do with the other site, and is just being a tool to get people to leave.

It cant be proved, but is rather fishy.

just to set things straight! im the admin on ephatch.co.uk ok, i have done NOTHING regarding sending bot things here. Why the hell would i be bothered to doing that??, i aint that desperate for members! lol

Basically, i have a car, i like my car and i want to share my interest with other people like myself who like cars.

Join me if you want, if you do, lets just all get along! OR ill just delete you.

Thank-you for listening.

Ash.

[saltyworm]

hey my post wasnt directed at anyone.... i jus say wot i think... but this does seem abit fishy....

[playboy_bunnie]

Jesus Christ lads stop ya bitching!!!

Either stay or go, but just shut the f##k up and get on with it ayyeee?  :roll:  :lol:

I'm glad you are so clear as to what your personal preference is, but as I said:

If you don't like the site no more, surrender your position as a mod and just leave - don't go around encouraging people to abandon this site for the other.

I hope from this post you would learn how to read the main points of my previous post nicky.

[nickyboy]

I hereby withdraw my status of Spam Deleter
May he/she who takes on my role enjoy it as much as I have  :lol:

[Raging Bull]

i was lost without this site when i had my ep2. i still browse it now. its just now that i have a CTR maybe the new one would be more helpfull as its all the EP's on one site.

i'll still visit them both but it was pissing me off a little with that anthrax geezer about.

i'm pretty much a new comer too so i can't exactly comment

[EP2]

Im pretty glad Ray and that have left, as most of there posts were spam. This site was fine till all these moaning bitches joined, and now theyve left I hope it returns to the way it was.

Called this grade-A 30 year old gay a moaning bitch and the toys are right oot the pram   . Couldny be arsed reading aw that shite, but i skimmed it.

Im Billy-no mates? 1000 posts in 2 months shows that you have no mates, apart from imaginary computer mates like ray etc.

Also, what car show are you going to?

Also the word 'diss', are you black? Or a wannabe -GaNg$tA-

[Elfman]

isn't it strange how people can get angry at people they have never met, over such a simple thing as a forum..

just saying.. think everyone needs to calm down.

[EP2]

LoL, im not angry, im amused
