Hello And Goodbye

[fmj]

Hi guys, well as this is now the only place I can post I don't have much choice but to post here. So let me get this straight I have to have a membership to browse or post?

I have been around since 2006 and contributed several how to's and guides one of which went scoobypedia and several people have thanked me for my help. I was a user who actually contributed but now find myself locked out. I know it's all for the greater good etc etc but I feel a bit crapped on here (well a lot actually).

I am not a paying member and will not be doing so. The forums are far quieter then they used to be probably due to the dying of the popularity of the Impreza. I am not going to pay to be able to see something that used to be free. I will now migrate to another forum and leave you guys to it. It's been a great seven years and I hope the club continues long into the future. I am not sure that the forums will benefit from the loss of contribution by those who don't want to pay but oh well.

And I was just about to update my build thread too... grrr.

All the best.

Its a shame to see people that have contirbuted so much in the past but are not prepared to put their hand in their pocket to support for the future.

Thanks for all your informative posts and project thread, i've enjoyed reading them.

I feel the sound of the hammer on the shotgun being pulled back with both barrels squarely pointed at the metatarsals.

Cheers guys, will probably be over scoobynet or something when I get around to redoing my build thread. Of the seven years here I have been a paying member for two of them.

I know it's not much money and to be honest I was going to renew anyway sometime (maybe in time for next years show season) but this has just f****d me off a little. Maybe I will calm down and come back in the future when I miss it too much, it's a nice forum to be part of. It just seems owning a scooby is expensive enough without paying to read and write about them too.

I've been in and out of the forum for a few years now, and having stopped coming here due to it being too clicky (i.e: if your face fits you are fine). Logged in a few weeks back to see a message from a chap earlier this year, so Im not what you call an active member. I have been a paid up member in the past, however i think this just stinks. I cant see the need to pay to view a forum..hell, I dont pay for porn on 2 legs so i'm not going to pay for it on 4 wheels.

If you want to ask why the forum has gone downhill, just look at the senior members first,

ciao
