the other thing that just popped into my head is.........
oh, damn it, its gone....
if you have a look on the UK & some European sites,(both Nissan & Toyota) you have to be a PAIDUP member, before you can even access the forum.........
something I think suxs, but I'm a cheap bugger
so I do believe that by just limiting it to 25 posts or whatever, we are still WAY ahead of others.......
I also understand Trollman's points, some people watch the "banter" between people, and either not understand it or feel intimidated by it, and think that they could NOT contribute to the same level and leave disheartened
Then there is the people who, as has been said, are not comfortable with forums and the way they are or are Techno-phob's who struggle to master emails let alone commit to revealing themselves to the "masses"
there is a forum that I have been a member of for over 2 years, but have maybe made 5 posts (intro, answered Q's and maybe the odd answer to something I did actually know of.) mainly because I keep forgetting the link hahahahahahaha
(have to clean up my favorites folder one day)
still, all in all, the funny thing about democracy is that its the MAJORITY rule, not the minority
true enough too many rules, and someone will always try to push the edge, because they think its their right.
but at the end of the day if it is for the interest of the Forum then it is not bad. it is only bad when its in the interest of certain sections "clicks" groups individuals etc
I think you guys are heading in the right direction
and I applaud the reasoning
cheers

Very well said Big Col. And may I say as member of this forum it's a pleasure to have one of our newest members contributing such posts. I know it has taken (shall I call them) the founding members led by AB, a lot of time effort and not to mention the money AB has personally contributed to make this forum what it is today.
I for one will invite people to join, and I will also strive to lead by example of how to interact on here, in a polite and caring way. I hope this forum is kept running for years to come .
