Ghand, I get fully what you are talking about

”we should accommodate those that are clearly just plain lazy and those who just need to draw attention to themselves, whether new members or old”

I find the “ignore” button works very well, my list has very recently been increased🙄


I get it but the old farts like us don't need to reply if we don't feel like but newer guys may want to explain stuff and help out and chat just like we did way back, Ok way way back 😂
Plus things move on availability wise and price wise and so on from old forum data on some things, actually I can think of a few new suppliers of VX bits with availabllity of stuff you won't find on a forum search. Search it 👍😂 even tyres and pads move on.

It appears that the vast majority of threads, comments and information on here, now relate to things like blue lights in the footwell, comfy scatter cushions, thick plush piled carpets and furry steering wheel covers.

It's now a total waste of time...Sorry, just my opinion.

Has Neil (Vocky) now departed from this site? What a shame!

Where's Joe (Batman) when you just want someone to mock? (Has he finally learned to drive properly as yet?)

First time I've logged on in years and first thing i see is this.
It used to be great fun and banter filled place but went down hill with stuff being removed and boring bastards taking over.
Use the search, ffs is this still going on ! Feck right off, some folk like to chat it's called a forum not a fecking encyclopaedia. If you don't want to answer or chat then click off. Use the search and miss the latest good offer or someone who has just what you want or is just in the mood for a chat like the ones who answer you or rip the back out of a new guy with feck off and search which is a great way of making someone feel at home. They can always search as a second option.
I'm off to read up on Imran and Elmo and some awsome banter filled threads of years ago.

Maybe we need the old crew back again ?
Get the mods wound up again ?
Take the p*ss, get the puns going, have some banter, enjoy a laugh, oh and own a VX 👍😂

Did someone say "puns"?........
Yo 👍 It's been a long time 😂
Would you like to buy a TV ? 😀 Is that a hair in your fish cake ? 😂
Let's find Elmo I say

To the sound of Mary Hopkin.. "Those were the days"😩 Ken's Tv, etched in the annals of .Org together with the "Hairy Fish cake's". Elmo, I sooooooo miss him🙁🤣. Perhaps I'm just a sentimental old fool!

.org is dead :/ 

 

On the 7th March 2011 I posted the 100,000th thread (http://www.vx220.org...-thread-100000/)

 

This thread we are on is 151539, shows the number of threads in the last 9 years!

 

Shame, loved .org just after I brought the VX, turning point for me was in 2014, started visiting less and then the Facebook page started about 2018(?) and it's easier to view on while I'm browsing FB.

Just a question as I don’t pay much attention to the fb VX page or fb in general really.

Do people organise meets on there? I know it’s a bit redundant at the moment. Do people still do meets? 🤔

Yep, national, hoons have been done via FB.

Until. Org is switched off it's not dead... coming for a cuppa when all this virus stuff blows over

Likewise, I avoid the Facebook page, I like the structure of the .org

Ditto, I don't have facebook, and therefore probably miss loads of unwarranted spam.  Oh dear....

Its "just" people selling sh*t, the new "companies" selling sh*t, the odd mong question about hooning under lockdown and some folks posting photos of cars.

TBH havent seen many meet things on there, yes the national is pimped but it seems to all direct back here anyway (as things should imho)
