Ill be honest here.. I have been reading these forums for a very very long time. since it was very small.. And to be completely honest.. Alot has changed.. It now feels very big brotherish.. I feel reserved these days with what i post incase it upsets someone from above. Im not a Member of toymods.. i allways wanted to but lately i just dont know if i still want to join anymore.. I mean i like to think i contribute to the forums for people asking questions etc. And hell I spent like a week writing a tech article for the transfer of a GZE and E51 into a Aw11 mr2. But i havnt sent it in to be posted up purely because it seems all the old faces are disappearing and Its all getting very very serious, This club seems to becoming a pyramid type structure. I hate the big brother attitude and i understand that you wanna protect the club.. BUT!.. U cant forget that people are going to be people. And i have noticed an increase in people who really have no idea etc. One thing.. I remember reading sometime back, a post by luke that simply said "Yeh, Lets make a "Small" car club".. Now i completely understand what he meant by that term..
Maybe the toymods scene has outgrown me, or ive outgrown it. Its not a gripe.. Its not aimed to piss people off.. Im just stating what ive been noticing. And i think its a real shame.. Oh well.. I dont want to start a war... Which is why i replied into this post. I just feel people have lost sight as to why they go into these forums, work on there cars.. and drive them(to how they see fit!, Not the hierarchy) For farks sake.. If i go into a bar.. and talk to people about how i drive does that make the owner of the bar responsible?
Also.. Just for the record. Can i please (as im sure others will) know who "Owns", "runs", this club. Just so i can be careful as to what i say to them.
