That's a shame, I am on the MK1OC and find it a great place and probably the most un-clicky forum I know.
It's pretty diverse and has changed a lot over the years.
That's just my personal experience, if your experienced and know your stuff, that's great, but support for folks just venturing into the MK1 Scene it's helpful. I come on here and on about 4 other forums to gain and share my knowledge, which is great if you want to know anything about hoods, headliners and pads, all roof related, Ask me anything on the engines, gear boxes, forget it lol.
You wouldn't usually get banned for a discussion over a Golf, so not sure why that happened.
Most strange.
cheers
