why this forum?

[Dark 1]

Good question you posed though mate - one that is discussed on here often in general banter. I've been on here for about 4 months, I've since met 6 of the members from here face to face and had a few beers (didn't meet any from the other forum even though there are literally mulitple in my direct area - not through lack of trying either) and I am now organising a trip that is the thick end of 7,000 klms early next year to meet up with more - what more can I say than that regarding the character of the individuals on this forum and the value I place on them and their advice/comments in such a short time.

Aww Scotty, am i one of those 6 mate. Putting a tear in my eye, feeling the love. Roflol.

Nerok as said above you can go online, ask for tips/advice , opinions , have a laugh, say g'day & always get a response[ comedic or other]. Patrol 4x4 does not have the same interaction or feeling, unless your one of the chosen few.
Get invoved mate, you'll most likely hang around.

hi, just wondering why this forum was started. dont want to cause trouble or anything, but really, why? as far as i see it, it's in direct competition to patrol4x4, it has the same content. but patrol4x4 has got history, its got most of the answers there already. having multiple forums on the same topic isnt really helping anyone, it would be much better off having everyone helping in 1 spot. but now youve got a few knowledgable people here and a few there, whats the point of that?

ps- im talking about tech, not chit-chat.

Welcome to the forum neRok, it always nice to post an introduction before asking questions, it helps to get everyone on side.

God youre single minded!!!!! Everyone else missed that based on wanting to get in and respond, but not ole Tony!!!! ... LOL!!!!

neRok - yeah, we encourage everyone to say g'day and tell us a bit about their rig in the introductions section before they set off on other posts - just a courtesy thing ... I've read yours on Patrol4x4 - your rig looks to be a bit of a weapon in the making - is the V8 installed yet?? Throw up some happy snaps mate!!

Beat me to it Tony, well done mate.

The more the merrier I say
This one is the more touchy feely site (emotively only, do not take that as an invitation Ross) where others are "whose got the biggest B^LL$" type sites
Both have good contributers, both have good info and both have a search ability.
Use both or use either, entirely up to you.

Welcome BTW

well its been good hearing some opinions on the matter, i remember spotting this forum when it was infant and thought 'why' back then. ive only signed up today to give some better service manuals, thought i may as well pose the question. unfortunately i dont have much time for forums these days, so ill stick to the ones i know.

Oh good 1 neRoK,

Quickly quickly rattle the cage before the monkey wakes !!!

Dont see a harm having many forums,whats it hurt ???
Im only new on this site and many contacts have been made and invites have been directed personally at me for events
Oops ,when was the last time people were personally asked ,rather than "where havin a meet ,whos comin " ??? on patrol4x4
Its a totally different atmosphere and definately more social/friendly

Im on four Ford forums as well and my knowledge on them is alot less than Patrols
But ya never can stop learning
