Patrol4x4- Time to Go Easy ...

[GQUTERUS]

I wondered if there was some kind of storage or backup for the info on forums

tappa slappn about

There is, i'm not sure what the forum was run like so i cannot comment if they do or don't.

Backing up forums, well archiving them is key.

I'm on both forums. In fact I think this was the first Nissan Oz forum I registered on.

I've got a low toleration for numpties, and they exist on both forums. I ignore the numpties and get on with it.

both forums have the pluses and minuses, and both have their share of tossers. when you're panning for gold you have to sift so that you don't go home with the gravel.

I moderate on other forums (not patrol related) and actually co-moderate between forums that used to see each other as competitors in the same space. The reality is that its a big space, and there's room for all. In fact on the forums I mod on we share material with each other, ie check on peoples credentials, advise each other of bugs, send troll alerts to each other etc.....

the need to bag and slag without constraint on any forum reflects poorly on all if its condoned and seen as acceptable - state of origin philosophy aside. as is expressing satisfaction at someone elses misfortunes is poor form in any mans language.

btw I've been though catastrophic forum failure as a mod elsewhere (not Patrols) - and its a PITA trying to rebuild if the images and archives aren't avail - and if the archives are corrupted. I don't envy the poor buggers trying to rebuild and close the gates

I know im biased but i disagree i have not found the said tossers here. on the rare exception they have appeared they are sorted out quickly and in a non offensive manner. Normally they are spammers or pi55ed off peeps after manuals for no input into the forum

EDIT patrol4x4 was the first forum i ever signed upto, i didnt hang there for very long though, i found here instead

There are no tossers here, thankyou very much!!

and there's the example of different experiences. mine here was not as flash when I first came in. it's a moving feast. the forum temperament is diff on both forums.

ironically most of the assistance I got in the early days was from people who are on both....

have to say I can't support your comment re tossers. there's a fine smattering of inane drivel in here - just as there is in P4x4. Prev it irritated me, now I just ignore and drive on and look for those with cred instead. It's a universal truth, any forum will have its share of one lining numpties or baiters. Prior to the Mods changing the atmosphere in here, there were quite a few who were letting personal angst weight the colour of their responses.

Its no bigee, just an observation from my own perspective. I'm still in both forums -

The technical information available on Patrol4x4 was exceptional.
Googling any patrol related question would quickly pop up numerous answers, with patrol4x4 always on top.
To lose it would be an absolute disaster for the patrol community.

In regard's to the "a few tossers", I wouldn't go that far, some more opinionated than others maybe, but this was what made things interesting. If everyone had the same opinion on a forum, I wouldn't frequent it, It would be s##t boring.
To be honest, the only "dramas" I ever saw were in the "General chit chat" (Or whatever it is called) section, but this was the whole point in this section, "like minded" people debating there views on whatever happened to be the hot topic, and I never saw anything spill over into other sections.

Personally I don't see the point of having two Aussie patrol forum's, It is definitely not that I am anti-nissanpatrol.com, it's just seems silly to me to divide knowledge on the same topic.
If all who were offended by whatever in the original forum made themselves heard, it may have been more to your liking.

I hope I don't get hit with the banstick for having an opinion.
