Welcome to the forum Love the frost leather / twilight combo - looks gorg

Bingo! This is my point - we're discussing the 'success' thread not other threads - thats what the problem is - our single joke thread, with multiple views and posts, has been lumped along with the ''problem'' threads that have been popping up left right and centre in 'off topic' To avoid any further degeneration - would suggest that this thread is locked but left as evidence of our discussion

Oh Luce/ (Stan) - completely agree - that joke quoted here was appalling and Tarmac was hauled up by the rest of us for it - (he knew it was a step too far ) but is not representative of what was in the 'success' thread. The thread took off because a foul and offensive joke to women was posted and we just used it as a combative /competitive thing. I think we all agree on the underwear & cheryl cole threads and that's not what we're discussing here I think we all realise now that if there were a vote then it would not have ben removed and that there were other options available other than removing it completely

Oh ok then you win

Are you insane wee man ?!

There were times that thread lay dormant for more than a fortnight. It was clearly labelled a joke thread in off topic and could have been labelled with an ** as a warning.

ha - well I hope you inflicted some serious pain then

I rather embarassingly posted it up yesterday five minutes after Alex

Me likee - nice one Irfan How many poor sods gnashers paid for that then?

+1 next one's gonna be custard for sure

get a grip - this isn't the thread for that sort of comment Careful Vik or you'll have to go in the sense of humour bypass corner that's currently being carved out! Just didn't want the issue being 'diluted'

You two not got any ironing to be getting on with. get a grip - this isn't the thread for that sort of comment

So should we all stand down and just let everyone post what they want then? I am happy to do that but i bet the forum soon goes down bank. This forums success is down to a great member base run by a dedicated team that have steered the forum to great levels of popularity in recent years. I am sure the right decision was made, we make the decisions based on what we think the members want. So if you want his sort of thing on your car forum then say so and i will happily stand down Dave - I completely agree with your statement on the team's efforts - you all give a lot of your time - and I know that sometimes you feel the non-car related stuff is detrimental to the forum... That joke you're highlighting there was very close to the bone and Tarmac was hauled up by us all immediately (as he was on several occasions if I remember ) But if the team thinks that it is what members want I would suggest a vote

We need two more people for the next group buy! 1) Rtbiscuit 2) DontPanic 3) Lamby 4) fatalus 5) Vik54 6) ikarus 7) Husky 8) Spen

There's usually some on ebay - I think I got mine for £7 in the end

Only joking...glad you're having fun

I would hope it was a team decision... I think if the reason was the content then it should have been made clear a lot earlier - I even ran some of the more 'close to the bone' jokes past mods before I posted. There was no pornographic content or graphic images. If a young person read the posts and understood them then no harm done in IMHO. I can assure you in terms of child protection and internet safety there were no issues ...if that was what the team is worried about check out CEOPs guidance - www.ceop.gov.uk To let it run for three months and then decide to pull it seems a bit off to me...I just wanted to highlight the fact that there was zero discussion or reason given - appreciate your responses

I'm just wondering where our success of marriage thread has gone? I've noticed a few references to it by mods recently and I understand some people thought it a bit OTT / waste of time - but it kept all the daft sexist jokes in one place. It was a laugh and was self moderated by those taking part..........the couple of times anyone stepped over the line they were held accountable by the other participants. I think Stew had to remove one phallic image. Its not as if it has even just been locked - it is gone - with no discussion or reason given. As usual its me thats complaining but no-one else ever seems to bother incase they get flamed - I am not impressed.

Think this is quite old news - but can't see it anywhere on this forum................. New Canadian supercar - the HTT 'Plethore' - 750hp (american) ........0-60 sub 3 secs/ 4 secs (depends on which report you read) - check out the brakes though!! .........and a return to mclaren - you sit in the middle.........is three seater 7ft wide http://www.httsupercar.com/en/index.html They're open for orders

If you like them that's all that counts - but hang around and wait for the right size.

+1 - welcome to the madhouse! It did actually have wheels on it when you bought it ..........didn't it?

Enjoy your roadtrip mark - we want loads of photos

Balls - Alex beat me to it Oh well great minds and all that! Mods - pur-leeeese delete - I only have the option to delete the second post not the thread
