ok so half the complaints on here are about it being too cliquey, in jokes from people who know each other and those who dont feeling left out and the other half is complaints from people about there not being enough banter and piss taking like there used to be in the good old days?
sounds to me like damned if you do damned if you dont.......
The heart of the whole problem is people dont have the time, money or will power to get out to meets all the time - sidc was always driven by meets and runs and the online banter and busyness came from people having met at meets and knowing each other
SIDC is a drivers club for driving and getting out, not for keyboard warriors - look at the major events it attends, .net, ayrshirescoobs, aberdeen scoobs are all good forums but I dont see them attending rallyday, japfest, JAE etc or running their own trackdays regularaly - THATS where we are different and if you dont like that well you cant please all of the people all of the time, just ask anyone who's married.....
