>>>Zero is aware of this thread and I've tried to tempt him to come back and say in here what he told me was wrong with car4play:);) who was to blame:):)
As AC says... he would never admit that he was largely to blame himself... so little point.
I almost never post in these type of navel gazing threads but on this occasion it's worth saying.
Some days ago NoFM said... and I think this is close enough... the main issue with the forum was a new visitior stream/feed... and that negative behaviour from the existing inmates wasn't an issue.
Well I agree the visitor stream is crucial to a good forum and an area where there seems no way forward for C4P.... but as Runfer mentions above while a few still hold on here there is no harm in keeping it lively but polite as a worthwhile placeholder for the long shot something expansive might happen.
Pat for your part you have said quite a lot recently your dislike of confrontation and criticism every time you post something. Well that is exactly how Zero's posting style comes across and it has permeated many of the threads here and affected most of the other posters who have varying degrees of resilience to him. Yet you say it's boring without Zero... you can't have it both ways.
As far as those shadowy figures behind the forum go I think they have to give at least some direction.
For example it is totally asking fort trouble to allow politics... and particularly of one party... to dominate threads... similarly the associated racial views and rants are not conducive to a stable forum where it's stated aim is to broadly centre around motoring.
