If anyone has first hand experience of, good or bad, please email me.

Some very good debate going on in here, some valid and wise words from Mat too, nice to see.

As for who started what, I think there are a few who can lay claim to that

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!

I cant profess to know of any of this but surely someone of the many people he has and i quote for legal reasons "Ripped off"

If you are correct why the hell have you not done it??

Dont get me wrong i aint sticking up for no one who blatantly robs anyone but if people have proof then do something about it.

Does that also not apply to me???????

Or is it something you hold a monopoly on?

I wasnt being nasty to anyone just pointing out a few truths.

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.

Thanks for understanding that.

Sometimes constructive views and opinions have to be put forward and hand in hand with that will go negative views. We have to have negative views as Witnes$ states so that we can learn from them or other peoples experiances. I don't like this view and attitude that if something slightly worrying or negative is said that it has to be dealt with. By all means keep an eye on it but don't lock everything, team; you're a good bunch but lets not be trigger happy !

The very meaning of the word forum (Latin) is a medium for open discussion of subjects of public interest. How can we have open discussion if we are not allowed to air negative views and home-truths now and again ? I feel it is my duty that if someone has provided a service that is no more than a criminal activity masquarading as a legitimate business to inform the masses so no one else will be fleeced - surely this is in the ethos of the whole idea of having an online community ? ; to share with our fellow owners some sound advice. If one mans 'business' suffers from this then tough, learn how to be honest ! We all know he's a sore subject but unfortunatly he keeps poping back up and we mustn't let others be conned.
As for the age old rivalry between forums, it will always happen. XPF is the ultimate MGR website and i don't mean that in any offence to this site, it's just a simple truth ! However, sometimes it's the smaller communities like this and Sportscar-racing that have the greater appeal because the core user group is interacting with eachother on a near daily basis and wether we are a regular user or part of the admin/mods' team we all look out for eachother. It's for that reason why i prefer to do my posting here and spend my net time here. XPF is more for a quick browse now.
I would just like to make it clear to the admin/mods team that i'm not trying to be provocative here or stir anything up, all i'm doing is looking at things from both sides - how a regular user would see it and how a moderator would see it !

Well said matt.

Although i was only a lurker at the time it was truly the best days in the modern MG community.

I am a member of XPF ZSC .org themgzr and rovertech.
Its a good thing that there are so many MGR related sites cos thats what we are so interested in.

Great points craig and i totally agree with them.

I like you am a member of them all albeit i use XPF as my base.

If you look on most of the said sites you will see i promote the north east meets on most of them and i can say that most of our meets are made up of people from a very wide variation of all of these forums.

I dont really look on it as "I am from this Forum" But more or less has "I am from the MG community"

That is the one I know about, most people don't sue for reasons already stated.

Because it took me over a year to find every last thing and the size of the claim wasn't that large, for me it's not about the money, it's about pride.
If I'd known what I know now would I have gone ahead, proberbly not,
can we make other people awear, definatly.

Pros & cons with every forum (same as everything else in life!):

ZSCentral: sometimes goes for days with nothing new posted

XPF: very pro 180 but still lots of helpful people on there

.org: WAAAAYYY too much Napoleon syndrome on there with one or two mods - its just a forum FFS, who died and made you God? And too much pro Chinese / down with Brits for me.
