I have the added advantage of being able to look at the stats and its actually no less busy.
Sam, your are allowed opinions, just not when they're complete poppycock.

We can't have a discussion about the German occupation of the Netherlands with a DUTCH member of the forum because Adam deems it racist 
I give up.

There were a few anti-German comments in that thread. Its content is also not particuarly appropriate for a car forum although I would not disallow a thread on those grounds. The problem is that the conversation doesn't stay mature enough to include only sensible discussion and not random insults. Threads like that are therefore quite dangerous, even moreso considering the direction in which they often head.
The recent bannings are all about risk. That and being bored with the whole post - delete - discuss - ignore - post - delete - discuss - ignore cycle which I seemed to go around a number of times.
Then we also get the crap picked out of the air like everyones a sheep and licks ass. I don't lick ass, I agree with people when they're right and talk to them when I feel that they're not.
I fail to see why someone who doesn't get enough attention should jump in there with a profound comment in order to try and change things and get attention, but mostly to get attention.

So who then.
Either you have a list of names in mind, or you picked the judgement out of the sky.
And if you have a list of names, why not post this, or better still talk to the people direct instead of being a coward and throwing in some insults without any real grounding.

I have a few names in mind yes, however that thread I posted up, I was only generalising, it was not a case of me picking a judgement out of the sky for the hell of it.
I have been on this site longer than most people here, obviously it has evolved since you first opened it, and a lot has changed, some things however I feel are not for the better.
I don't need to provide you or anyone else for that matter with further information/basis/facts etc. on the way I feel about things, it's my own personal opinion, and it's up to me on whether I wish to expand on it publicly or not.

Its larger than it used to be so yes, things are different. My question would be why bother bringing things up if you don't go as far as identifying exactly what the problem is and how to fix it.

I don't see the point personally, I don't feel like anyone (ie. you) would listen to what I have to say - you probably just think I'm an attention seeking post whore!

ok look at it this way. Would you come on to this forum if you were the only person to come on? Nope!
So the people are what make corsa sport what it is.
Have you ever been to any events attended by corsa sport?
Something like PVS on the Saturday is a good show of what Corsa sport is all about. Lots of people getting along having a good time with one thing in common. Cars!
The Pod on Sunday just gone. I think 3 cars from a group of about 20 people ran. Most people were there to meet and chat and have a good laugh.
Without corsa sport most people wouldn't even know that any of the other people in attendance existed.
I get on well with alot of people from CS. All from different back grounds and with different outlooks on life. CS made this happen.
So it may 'only be the internet' but its more than that.
Think before you post.

People are allowed an opinion but not a rasist one.
This is a public website. If we one or two people come accross as rasist then we all do.
