Im Homeless
 

Im a reject from .org i got banned for saying some home truths that thye didnt like

can you please be my friend and take me in

I'll be your friend :D You are more than welcome here mate

Hi welcome along :)

:hi: to the forum Bob :D

what sort of 'home truths' are you talking of here????

wellll if this site has nothing to do with Fatty Steve Childs and .org ill say

hello again ive seen you on XPF Oh wait i got banned theyre tooo :(

Not doing very well on forums are you? lol

well i was until the mod team decided that my oppinion wasnt allowed on the Cult that is .org (going a bit quick and that the mod team were like Hitler)

And then decided just to **** me off theyd ban my XPF account too *******

Tbh i didnt see you do anything wrong on xpf, so i think that was a bit out of order. Is it a permanent ban?

Yep Permanent :(

Dr Dave (Gasaxe) Flexing his Power i believe

That lot can be a bit funny, hence why I spat the dunny out at Steve about the subscription for .Org years ago (it's all for the benefit of folk down south, nothing at all for us Scots) and I'm hardly on XPF these days. If you're not in the clan you get flamed for nothing.

IMO you're better off banned matey, here is much better

And to answer the earlier question we have nothing to do with Hitler or his sites, so what did you say? Must have hit a nerve lol

Well whatever happened Bob, you are welcome here :hi:

Well i started off as someone saying he had blown his car up because he had changed to 2nd at 100mph :stupid:

then i changed the subject and said 35 in 30mph zone where its safe to do so is ok maybe not legal but the police wouldnt pull you over for it, And you know what thyere like on .org about speed i got pounced on by about 30 people saying i was wrong and my attitude to driving stank E.T.C.

Then one pesky little 19 year old tosser sends me a pm saying i was an idiot E.T.C. so i sent him a polite (not Pm back ((it had about 10 Swear words in BTW)) pm back which he didnt like, So he could dish it out but not take it, he then ran to the mods crying about it.

Next thing i kno i have a pm from a mod saying i was in trouble blah blah i basically told him in so many words to f-Off and cancel the damn account

Next thing i know im banned from .org and 5 mins later XPF too for no reason other than a small argument about something silly,that was it about working on a saturday, So the Daft mod team which is .org again banned me from theyre with the excuse "he caused trouble over on .org he will on XPF" and as Mrslozzmachine has said i did nothing really that wrong on theyre

what the mod team dont know is i signed back in again with an old account i set up ages ago and began to post again Stick that up ya ass moderation team haha Which as people clicked it was me started to fill up with emails saying it was wrong how they banned you for no reason E.T.C in the space of 1 day ive had 10 separate people go that was wrong

I knew i had this account here so i thought id sign on and use this as my my base forum and XPF as the second forum.


jeez thats the longest post ive ever ever made and it all makes sense tooo :lol:

hehe, sounds like fun! :D

Ah well mate, it's a very friendly forum here, I'm sure you'll settle in fine :)

firstly welcome over here Bob :)
secondly ignore those bunch of dim wits on the forums, they are quick enough to do dish it out but once they get it back they dont like it, i know i dont have a car YET and ive joined few forums but thats purely for the fact that i am interested in cars, shows, and gaining my knowledge for when i do drive, myself have had a words with a few people but you know what? i left school years ago, if i wanted to continue being childish id go find a nursery or something, most the people on forums (not this one) are very defensive, and just lately theres loads of cocky chav sh!ts who are joining up and taking over.

i know you must be annoyed/angry right now but dont let it get to you, this site is whole damn better than those 2 you are banned from :)

yer we are much cooler and down to earth than the other forums dude so welcome aboard :) obv that 19yo was a complete penis, obv not a clue! its not speed that kills....its using it in the wrong places :) i live by that and it works for me! lol

talk about giving an opinion and stating the truth? if you cant handle the truth then f' off and go play or the motorway on something, have no time for people who bash away at genuine peeps!

I do like XPF although i hated Mg-rover.org had been trying for ages to have the accont closed on theyre bunch of mini hitlers the mod teams are


Well my rule is drive to my limits of the road if i go over those set limits im gonna crash and die

Like i said in the piccies thread ill be trying my hardest to get my account reinstated on XPF and the Mod shafted

This is my new base forum and XPF will be the second one

and you know what? they never say it to you're face either, if they had the opportunity to they still wouldnt.

I wouldnt like to see them try sarah. All 6 ft 5 of me wouldnt be best pleased if one of them came over to me saying you cant speed its illegal

Edit: Do i have to subscribe to have a signature???

Subscribe.....................you know it makes sense ;)

I know what you mean about .org, my account is still active but post very little these days. The mods are an anal bunch, but not all of them, however it only takes one eh!

Welcome back and hope you like what we've done to the place :D

Yeh it looks much better than when i first signed up all those moons ago

theyre all anal mate evryone of them been doing my head in over theyre for a few weeks now

Ah, .org, they let someone slag me off with lies in open forum, locked the thread (like that has never happened to one of his threads) and wouldn't let me reply! I don't visit .ORG now.

and not wanting to drop myself in it with XPF but I've had messeges deleted there because the thread starter has a chip on his shoulder and though my messege saying "good luck" was taking the st mick! I still post there sometimes because they can often throw a diffrent veiw on a technical problem.

I do most prefer here for my ZS fix though so I wont go
"mmmm 35 in a 30, we had an agency driver in our little van a few weeks ago who was really slow but then got a speed camera fine for 36 in a 30!" will I. :happy:

P.S. hello (who says I post whoring?)

Welcome Bob hope you enjoy your stay:yes:

Jeez, he gets everywhere...

Ross that aint true

I myself try to make everyone welcome.

I may be wrong but does the person concerned not host this forum??

Theres nothing fun about it Bob was a well respected member on XPF and he knows i did everything i could to keep him on XPF.

Sarah chill out

I am not a Dim Wit and what do you know about XPF? you have only been on it for a very short period.

If you took the time like i did you would find that XPF is the most Knowledgeable place for the modern MG.

How is that?

What do you know about XPF??

Before you sprout off i suggest you look into the history and what people in the past put into it etc.

Ask Matt C what the likes of Jerry flint,Leda and many more i could mention put into building the MG community.

Ok XPF is not everyones cup of tea but there is some of us who try to keep it inline with what it was in its heydey.

Thats your choice Bob.

Let me address this.

The original poster of the thread requested that the said posts be removed so as not to cause any controversy.

Saying that i can see where you were coming from but the thread was obvioulsly starting to errupt.

Hence the original poster asked for it to be modded.

You all know what i am talking about because a similar thing happened on here and the thread was deleted and the guy was banned.

I do know this guy takes alot of negative publicity on many forums but if he is that bad "Why hasnt there been any prosecutions of him etc etc"

If i believed some of the stories i have read i would surely be on to my solicitors to sue the arse of the guy.

Dont get me wrong i aint sticking up for no one apart from myself and what i do on XPF.

hey paul i never said you didnt try and not help me i dint realise you were a mwmber over here as i would have said you were the only one on my side

which was the truth

TBH aswell paul theyre is not much point me basing myself on XPF for me to get fount out an banned AGAIN

like ive said i enjoyed XPF a great load of people but this is home for the time being bud

He has been succsessfully sued by someone I know for £11,000! This was mostly for parts removed and "lost" from a car he was supposdily installing a new engine. He disappeared for quite sometime after this and I'm not sure if he paid up in the end.

He has various technics from staging robberies when customers are around to declaring himself bancrupt to moving.

The biggest problem I'm having is getting people to tell me about their own personal experience as they are either scared of him, he has since done them a little favour, or for some reason are unwilling to tell me the good stories!

I could go on but I'm saving it!

and http://home.btconnect.com/talkingcars/T16con.htm is my statment on my own personal experience, I would stand up in a court of law on it!

I know that Paul, but like has been said before it only taks a few people being silly to ruin it totally. I never had a problem with the site for a long time but as soon as the site changed owners all those years ago, I think the general feeling on the site changed for the worse.

I don't like the way the place is going personally, and I enjoy the laid back feeling here. I don't know if it is suffering in the same way as theMGZR.co.uk is with the influx of new young drivers due to the lower 2nd hand values these days... but there is a deffinate change in the air

Welcome along Bob

There seems to be a lot of negativity towards XPF at the moment and in many respects i can understand why - Ross picks up on my major reason and that is there's too many young kids thinking they know it all and bringing their limited knowledge and inflated attitudes along. All that does is wind-up the older guard who helped make it the giant it is now.

Some background info on XPF. In late 2001 a gentleman i am proud to call a friend called Jerry Flint went to a BTCC race and met up with another gent callen Kev Neal (cousin of Matt Neal) and along with a few others decided to turn what was Jerrys basic blog about running his Rover 75 into a website dedicated to the new breed of MG's : The Zed range. Regional meets were organised and soon the members came flooding in. An online gallery was created which to this day is one of the nets largest car-based gallerys - an achievement in itself. I was one of the very early members and helped with regional meets and BTCC events, often getting convoys of 75+ cars.

I then started working for MG's works BTCC team on the merchandise/display stand. This gave further relationships between MG and XPF with Jerry and me often visiting the factory. In 2004 we sponsored not only Jason Hughes maiden season in a ZS but also WSR who were now running 2 ZS's independantly with no MG backing. We then ran a raffle to help WSR's race programme even further. Jerry personaly went out and bought a brand new MG TF for the raffle prize - sheer dedication to the marque. The raffle was a huge success and we gave WSR thousands. (this is why you will find a lot of BTCC supporters who used to support the MG's now support WSR's 2 orange BMW's !)

Then in 2005 when the sad news of Longbridge closing it's doors reached us we immediatly reacted. The owners of Leda suspension, Beverley and Andy Miles made it their mission to show and give support to MGR's hard and loyal workers by organising a convoy to Longbridge. A few of us negotiated with the local authorities for Police assistatance (which we got - including a junction of the M42 being shut to allow us through !) and we even had BBC, ITV and Sky news involved. The rally was a huge success, we had hundreds of cars in convoy and raised thousands once again.

Following this, feeling and morale was low on XPF and Jerry decided he wanted to step down. By this time XPF was a business in it's own right and needed someone to step in, not only with money but with a hosting package and knowledge of running a site. A few of us tried to get a rescue package together but it failed and eventualy it was Steve Childs who stepped in.

It was here that many of us felt let down as we felt that he bought his own army of moderators in, wiping us out with complete disregard for the years of hard work we had put in.
In the meantime Beverley and Andy Miles formed a new website, Brit-cars.com and Jerry formed his own going back to his motorsport routes, Sportscar-racing.com. All the old guard from XPF ended up as members of either one or both - i'm on both, admin on Sports-car as well as a moderator on Jerrys other MG website.

Some of us still frequent XPF but it doesn't seem the same. We try to add our knowledge and input but it's rarely appreciated and then the fact that RSM is allowed to roam free is an insult to us who did our best to make sure he would never scam another MGR owner again. I'm glad there are still big supporters of XPF and i still have respect for it and great memories of what we achieved. I spend most of my time here and on Sportscar-racing.com but i would like to add that i think it's wrong for those who don't know about XPF, it's background and what was achieved to go knocking it and slagging it off. It may be run in a vastly different way to how we used to know it but it's still the largest independantly run MG website in the world and the wealth of collective knowledge there is unrivalled and unchallenged by any other MGR website.

Sorry for the length of this post and for hijacking Bobs thread ! :)

Jesus christ dude calm down, practice what you preach!
its was just a comment....freedom of speech is one of gods great gifts :)
so chill out dude, no-ones really laying into the XPF too harsh, its not a bad website, im a member so i do know :) i was commenting that the atmosphere on here is alot more laid back and not so serious all the time...people on here seem alot more personal and more my cup of tea....so chill out bud, have a beer:beer2:

R 8 Bob what you been up to now? lol. .Org is ***** and completley over moderated, one words slightly non PC and you get a nasty PM so nowt to worry about there, I would be slightly pissed about XPF tho. By all accounts this Steve Childs is a ****!

Rob

I was half expecting this, it's a real shame when we have to read negative opinions on other forums. I just wished that people would be diplomatic in what they say so as to not create an atmosphere as witnessed here.

What I do not want to see is a divide between the MG community, we are all here for one simple purpose, so why the hostilities?

I would rather things be channeled in the right direction via the site team in question before airing it on another forum. It only creates bad blood and sucks more people in.

Paul has every right to be asking questions as he cares for XPF as we do for theMGZS, I would be no different if the roles were reversed.

Let's hope any differences can be resolved and let's make the MG community a happy one.

I'll echo what Stamford has said... I would make just 1 edit:


I am in 2 minds as to whether or not this thread should be 'locked' before it gets out of hand. I will let it run for another while and reconsider.

Stamford, There allways will be a Divide in the community, there allways has been :) Back in the Day's when I was a Mod on XPF the devide was between XPF and .Org, I went through all the politics when steve took over and my experience on how steve treated me (I was one of his super mods after he took over) made me leave, now I go back very rarely. I don't hold grudges I just havn't really had a reason to go back...

Talkingcars
If your talking about who I think you are then Ignore him, if you talk about it on forums your thread gets deleted, I can understand why, but I can also see the other side of the coin. I know a bit about his history and also a bit about him and the way he treats people. TBH he has never treated me bad, but on the other hand I've seen how he treated a good friend of mine... Anything further should be confined to PM's or emails so as to take the negative posting away from the forum.

Me?? Joking.

On a serious note. Sometimes its good to voice negative opinions aslong as they are constructive and if people listen to them improvements can be made.:yes:
