NP forum has a new owner

[AB]

Hi NP team,

The time has come to hand over the torch to someone who will have more time to invest in our great forum.

Over the last 15 years of NP we have all built up an amazing community of likeminded folks not just for the passion of all things patrols but more so similar characteristics in personalities which was the foundation of our success.

I firstly want to thank our mods who have put their own valuable time and effort into keeping this place clean and organised, which I know firsthand is an effort on its own, especially back when we went viral and forums were the go-to platform, without you this place wouldn’t exist, so I thank you for your efforts!

We created a different little place here, a respectful and considerate home for patrol enthusiasts no matter what skill level and knowledge you have. We shared a passion of welcoming newbies which was the heart of the NP success and the NP values we love.

Thank you to the long-standing members who not only looked after NP themselves but also gave up so much of their time sharing their incredible in-depth knowledge and passion to help others in desperate times of need, thank you!

We had some amazing ups and some amazing downs lol, mostly up’s though and that’s what really matters.


I have personally met some amazing people on here and some that I call my close friends, and I thank you the NP members in making this happen.



Our Friends at Patrolapart & Navarapart recognise the incredible value of our community and has generously stepped up to ensure the forum's long-term future. They will invest in the site's foundation, managing the servers and maintenance to preserve this space for all of us and keep it the valuable, spam-free resource we all depend on."

I’m extremely happy that they have offered to do this, without them, this place would have to shut down like so many other forums have done so around the world, and I would like to thank the team at Patrolapart& Navarapart for keeping the flame going.

I’m also not going anywhere folks, please keep creating meet ups too, I just started a new job but once I settle into my new role, I am super keen to keep our trips going as I truly call many of you here my friends.


Anyways lol, not a goodbye but I want everyone to know that this is happening and It’s a big moment in my life as this was my baby for many years and I am pleased that Patrolapart can keep the flame going.



Happy travels NP!

AB, this is big news. Good to hear that the forum has the support from Patrolapart to keep running, but let's take a moment to acknowledge what a fantastic platform and collection of passionate Patrol owners you have brought together.

Your 15 years of dedication are a testament to the strength of your character, and that of the other long-standing members, who have given so much to preserve and celebrate the shared connection built around the solid vehicle Nissan created.

Its great that you have secured this, your baby, so that this platform and its members continue on with strength, just like the bullet proof vehicles we all love to own.

All the best with the new job too

Wow. That's a interesting post AB. But part of me isn't surprised it came this way.
Thank you enormously for running this show for all these years for us mate.
I've invested a fortune of posts here, and invested a fortune of $ in Patrolapart. So, I guess it kind of goes hand in hand.

Great to hear they have jumped on board and will keep the forum going. Congrats on your new job, would love to catch up with you and Mark soon.

Well blow me down with a Toyota Axle. Mate this Forum landed in my life at Exactly the right time. I was going through a very dark time in my world and this place kept the light on.

If you asked me 20 years ago if I was going to have a core group of my best friends that I met on the Internet I would have scoffed at you. But my people are from here, my wifes friends are from here. Np.com has played a massive part in my life.

I don't apologise for leading members down expensive roads to land here running 37s, big turbo 24Volt the World. Love those guys.

Unfortunately this place got thin. But Damn did we not give it a crack!!! We outlasted most forums of this structure by 10 years. That goes to the core of who we are and were.

Know this. My Fire is Your Fire! You are always welcome. Reach out here or on Facebook. I will welcome the chat.

Good luck Andy but you can't get rid of me that easy. You will smash the next stage in your life mate. Congratulations

Thank you to everyone that made this place what it is and has been.

Thanks for starting this place and keeping the lights on for so long, Andy and Co. I am looking forward to seeing the forum going on strong with Patrolapart at the helm.

I have bought several things from Patarolapart and will continue to do so, great range of parts at good prices.

15 years.. daym. That's flown by.
I look forward to the next chapter.
