in all seriousness i don't feel welcomed in other forums. it remains the only common thing bonding us all together is the make and model of our motor cars and even then there is such variation within the model, eg manual/DSG etc, so in reality even amongst us we drive quite different machines
and then you got members of other forums who think the mk6 owners are probably a bunch of stuck up rich <Un+5 who think they are better than anybody else. that's partly why i avoid those other forums.
even now i feel very subordinate as most other members here seem to be hardcore enthusiasts to me so i avoid posting up silly stuff of a sarcastic nature. well sometimes. i'm happy to share my experiences, notably my recent issue regarding the driver's door that stayed shut, i think it's good to share this stuff as it relates to everybody.
on the whole though generally it's a nice atmosphere here, most guys (and gals) seem very helpful and it's nice to have such an enthusiastic community. it might even be nice to come meet some of you one day.

He's just tasted freedom from the closet for the first time.
I'd suggest he pop into Harrods where I am shopping right now with the grandkids, it being jam packed with gays. He'll probably fit in quite easily. :evil: :grin:
-
what ripostes
think of it as getting it from both ends. you will enjoy that i am sure.
-
Shut that door! :grin:
-
On a serious note.
I find the terms 'qu@@r' and 'd**e' most offensive. :angry:
These should be banned from use on this and other forums.
May I respectfully suggest the term 'gay' be used instead for both sexes.
Most grateful.

Best mate's sirname is d**e. :grin:

I find the terms especially offensive when used in a abusive capacity. I don't find it amusing at all.
As for the Sir Name, what a wonderful and brave person to have it not changed, especially with so many narrow minded bigots around.

Jesus, someone needs to move to Cornwall.

This is more than a little off topic :grin:
I agree with your sentiment, give me 2 mins while I work out where to place this
:grin: :grin: The work begins :laugh:

Thank you Doc.
Most grateful. :smiley:

Happy to be of service.
Hopefully keeping things on topic (ish) is the one thing I can do well :smiley:

Interesting. And yet the term you used for Saudi Arabian women some time ago wasn't offensive. And it wasn't offensive when you told another member to "**** off" simply because he posted a comment with which you disagreed? You're a hypocrite.

We learn from our mistakes for to err is human, to forgive devine. :smiley:

I've been on a few forums Asker. I do agree with you that this one certainly has a nice atmosphere. I say this primarily in reference to the mk6 section because a) it is where I spend most of my time on this site; and b) because sometimes the 'Off Topic' sections just get caught up in arguments (usually with the same members).
Nothing against any other sections but I just don't really go into any other mks because I don't own them. Although I love reading the projects sections because some of the stuff in there is pretty impressive.
Of course there are always bound to be flies in the ointment. :wink:

The forum has a good mix with generally very good and helpful people. They are also very kind and generous with their time.
On the other forums, people seem so angry and unnecessaruly aggressive.
I know we can all be a bit titchy at times, but it is constant on those and very disheartening. They also bear grudges.
Hopefully, with Doc and Snoops some modicum of understanding and kindness will be made to prevail.

omfg why did my post get separated into starting a whole new thread?!
sH1+ - it makes me look like a stuck up richard-head

Well as a (soon to be) GTD owner I have to say that I did not find this forum very friendly.
I am a member of a mortorbike forum and I never saw any offensive posts regarding other peoples bikes - usually quite the opposite. I had a V twin. Which, I guess, would be thought of as the 'diesel' of the mortorbike world - loud and buckets of torque :cool: 0-60 in 4 seconds, but a max speed of only 130mph. Which is a lot slower than most of the inline fours which can do 160mph +
Did you know that for just £10,000 you can buy standard 1000cc motorbike than can go from 100mph to 160mph in 8 seconds? :shocked:

DDRFAN it's not you that looks like a Richard head, quite the opposite, I split the post because the original one went way off topic, it was at your post that things went off on a tangent regardings our sexual preferences so I split the topics up.
Please accept my appologies if I have caused you any grief, I'm just trying to keep posts "on topic"

Im sorry to hear that :embarassed:
How can we make it better for newbies?
-
I think we need to do an introduction sticky for new members.
With a little help from us the new and old members should be able to get done forum airtime :smiley:
-
I think you need to stop slagging off other people's choices of car. Banter between people who are already friends is one thing, but persistent, knee-jerk denigration of perfectly valid choices (like diesel, or DSG, or 5-door, or 17" wheels) can indeed come over as pretty unfriendly.

Bottom(s) duly slapped. :grin:
Love all Golfs as you might have gathered, whatever the colour or spec. :smiley:

Erm I find *'ing out my mates name offensive. It's genuinely "D(http://)yke". :grin: It's a name.

Could it include a link here?
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?board=29.0
That way new members will be able to introduce themselves to everyone rather than just one section? If they want to of course, they can say hello here and there. Might make the off topic/dub rides/ show sections more accessible?

Not a problem RJ
The snow / tyres / more snow section of this post has moved here: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=176444.0 :smiley:
