Since the other thread was deleted i'll post this again.

I dont really know what this post is going to make of myself or weather it will make sense at all but i'll have a go.
I joined the old forum a fair while ago when all/most of the older members were still around and everything was going smoothly, but unfortunately I never went to any official Toymods events to personally know the older guys.
When I first got the bug to modify my TA22 I was asking lots of questions on the forum and I always got a reply from these older members saying something along the lines of "this has been discussed before, do a search". This never hurt my feelings or caused me any distress, I simply just went and searched and found the info I was after. These days if someone is told to do a search they get totally offended and start a bitch fighting match until the thread is deleted.
I think this is caused by the newer/younger generation(read kids) that want to do up their cars to look and go "fully sik". These kids have no respect for anyone but themselves and they dont not want to do anything for them selves. This is the biggest cause of all the shit that happens on here.
I guess this brings me to my point. I have seen some of the older guys get pissed of with these kids and have arguments with them, the first argument is ok, the second is boring and the third shits you to tears. I have noticed(a long time ago) that the older knowledgeable people were appearing here less and less, but I just didnt think much of it until the day Allan posted a thread saying he will not be back. I thought to myself back then, what will happen if all these "oldies" leave. I dont think any outcome would be a good thing.
Now I see that Tracton_Issues has been banned, WTF is the go with this?? Banning an old time member is just totally fucked up. Something has got to be done about this!
Also I dont know who the net nazi is but something has got to be done about him. Going into a thread and having the last say in an argument and then locking the thread is a lame cowardly thing to do. If the thread needs to be locked then so be it, but if something needs to be said do it in a PM.
Something really needs to be done about these forums before they hit an all time low.
I have an idea where only the Tech section would be open to anyone and the rest should be available to official Toymods members. Hell I wouldnt mind becoming a member. The only reason why I havent already is because I havent had anything to gain from it.
I dont know what other people think of my idea or even if its possible, its just an idea.

Anyway thats all for now. I hope this made some kind of sense as all the above was just lots of little thoughts from the back of my head.
4DaDrift, if you like I can edit this post and start another thread.

Oh and welcome back Allan, I hope you stick around.
