how to fix no introductions

[Yendor]

Once again, I'd say, g'day mate, what time is it, thanks and on my way.....
Rod, I think we are on the same song sheet.......certainly one day we will meet up and chat.....cheers

Yes I think we are on the same page.

You find it offensive if someone doesn't post an intro and I can appreciate that, I don't.

If it's not compulsory I just don't see how you can force someone into doing an intro.

Yes, we'll have to have a few coldies around a fire one day.

As one who came to this place on the back of a google search when I first bought my truck I have some thoughts on this.

I came here looking for the manuals and some answers, and guess what I got both, when I saw the quality of people on this forum I stuck about and then posted an intro and have shared personal information about myself.

I just read the thread from the above link and we should all be disgusted in ourselves and how anal this forum is becoming. The OP asked a reasonable question and got crap, why would he bother coming back.

I get sick of seeing people ask a question and get the standard "use the search feature response". Some times when you do that you have to troll through 20 pages of waffle and shite to get that answer. If you don't know the answer or don't want to be helpful stay the hell out and let someone who is willing to help do so.

Yes it is nice when someone tells us a bit about themselves, but I don't see why it must be compulsory. I for one get sick of having to troll through 3 pages of intros when I hit the what's new button. Sometimes I just want to catch up on what's happening. And I find it funny that the people who are so pent up about intros don't even have the decency to finish a post with their name so we know even that most basic piece of information.

So get over yourselves and your petty hangups and let's get this forum back to what it is supposed to be about, people who love patrols catching up with and helping like minded people.

I agree, the friendly nature of the people who went on the 2 meet ups I've been on is what makes me stay. No ego,s on the forum, I left a 4x4 club because some people thought they were better than everybody else. Keep the forum welcoming!

Yeah, but the Intro area is used....once..to say G'day the first time....and then by ppl who want to get to 25 posts.
I came here to learn and make my 4WD experience, and for my family, as safe and practical as possible.

To me, it seems better to visit a page I am interested in, learning, thanking the gurus for the info, and hopefully doing and posting something that others can learn from is why I am here....

I'm here to post dribble and wind people up
