I vote forum should stay as is, I joined just to sort my box out like probably 99% of members on here, i havn't made that many posts, as i dont feel i have to as most questions are soon answered, but i still come on most nights to have a read. And that 31 day without posts and your removed is just wack. sorry

Yes, that is whacko. People may resort to posting rubbish just so that they don't get deleted.

I have joined the forum in the last few days and judging by some of the posts, for the first time dont feel welcome. I am relatively inexperienced at these things and was hoping to settle in quietly. A 'closed shop' attitude will not help this magnificent site but will be to its detriment. Everybody here was a newbie at some point.

Yes your right m8 its because of all the posters of the same questions over and over that gets on everyones nerves, its very obvious to us that they havnt read and researched first, always happens with keychange and everyones box going off, we just get bombarded with" help me now"and we dont see them again till the next time, this will change once members notice your genuinely interested, you will find them a friendly bunch.
