Hi Everyone,

I just thought would start this thread to get some feedback on the site.
Any comments, good and bad would be appreciated, we need to know what you think so we can provide the best service.

There is still a lot to come, I just want to make sure it's what you want.

Enjoy!

Tony :D



It`s a few years down the line since Tony posted this but I wonder if he ever thought it would be the place it is today.

Over 10,000 members last time I looked so he must be doing something right.

Cheers Tony :beerchug:
 
I think it's a great site and forum I've spent hours reading as much as I can over the past week on here BUT I think there should be less rules on the forum, It doesn't strike me as the sort to attract 14 year old american forum trolls and as such it should just be set up in a manner that allows a large group of members to collectively delete threads if they are deemed to be highly offensive as it seems that generally people on here are pretty mature and well balanced, but that's just my opinion. I'm firmly against moderation or censorship of any sort really, I wouldn't be surprised if one day there was moderators checking our emails.

Why on Earth would we do that ???:eek: We have enough work keeping things running smoothly, thank you.
As for the forum trolls..............we've banned dozens this month alone.
What you don't see is the amount of work that goes on in the background to help keep the forum as peaceable as it is.

cheers,

Please - keep it as it is!
I love it here, the best site on the web, where standards are kept high by excellent (well most of the time:)) Modes.
Keep up the good work!

Very happy with the way it's run,mostly.Generally it does seem as though some posters get away with posys that others don't .But as has been said ,We don't have to be here if we don't want to,and the numbers show that many people are here.
A great site ,keep it as it is.

Im a mod on another site and we too ban a fair amount of them too, though we catch most of them before they're even let loose on the site.

As for my views on the forum…I think this place is great, so much knowledge and advice here, It's you guys, the members that make it such a great forum.

I think it's a fantastic site.
I've learnt so much and, due to member's inspiring posts, had many ideas for projects.
The only criticism I have (and it's one I can live with) is that it, at times, seems a bit too zealously moderated - some of the moderation is either heavy-handed or patronising. Sometimes.
But it doesn't cause me turmoil and doesn't stop me reading a site that I was really chuffed to find.

wow touche'. I really didn't think this would be the sort of forum to attract trolls. Please accept my apologies for perhaps not appreciating how hard you guys have to work.

annymous (shaun) you ask for get togethers about the country , but we already do that with the meetups section don't we?
I think the best part about this site is the meetups and bushmoot. There is some top members with excellent skills ready to share.

Maybe there were not so many in 2003?
