Title: How good is OOF?
Post by: geoffr70 on 31 August 2010, 23:22:10
I'll start by saying that in the time I've been on here I've found this forum to be brilliant. Full of helpful advice, helpful people, maintenance guides, quick replies etc; and all laid out very well and easy to find what you want.

I'm just thinking to myself that this must be one of the best forums on the internet? Not that I've got any great experience of them; the only other one I'm a member of is the Transit one, but rarely go on and it's not as good as this IMO.

Someone on OOF, I can't remember who was saying how on their first post on the Saxo forum they got a load of abuse hurled at them! Might be because of the Saxo drivers stereotype?!?! Opinions?!?!?! Not all though!!

What doe anyone else think? :)

Is that the forum where they discuss the right positioning for back copies of The Sun and old polystyrene cups on the dashboard? ;)

Only jesting. Welcome to the OOF, Geoff. :y

Of course, all forums have stereotypes and OOF is no exception.

You could sum up most OOF members as grumpy old gits who live in the 70s & 80s and hate caravans.

 ;) ;) ;D

I could'nt agree more, brilliant forum with almost instantaneous response to problems and of course the mods are superb, for want of a better word.  :y

We do try  :y

The culture here is very different to most forums, especially the way members will bend over backwards to help each other out.
Works really well imho.
The trouble starts when people join, and refuse to recognise the different ways the community here operate, and then risk spoiling it for all.  Luckily that happens all too rarely  :D

It's bending forwards that worries me.  ;) ;D ;D ;D
