Must be a right rowdy bunch in there. All the the threads are locked

Noticed that . . . .  any particular reason for a mass lockdown  ?  as cannot remember it being like that before

Don't you lot know nuffing .... 

Newbie Welcome posts autolock after a set time to prevent someone coming on and doing a "welcome" to the last 250 newbies and gaining selling rights without actually doing anything for the community !!



http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90684.0 sort of explains it for the old software ... the new software appears to do more TB got off his lazy arse and did the development required

Fixed.

Some new members may not be used to forums, or are a bit shy or distrusting of internet sites, so its an important areas for such members to just say hello and hopefully get a friendly welcome aboard.

Some may need to take a deeper breath before daring to go into the general discussion areas.

i've noticed this on a couple of occasions. newbie comes on asking for info. one of the mobile lads offers to come out to them. new member sh*ts his pants thinking that mad gixer some weirdoes coming to their house and they politely decline.

obviously it takes time to learn that we're all a bunch of nice chaps and that meeting up with each other is the norm here.

but they'll never know if they dont stick around. and if they dont, their loss

I must admit that I never look at the New Member section perhaps I should.
If anyone posts in any section that I feel a response is worthwhile I will respond whoever makes the initial post. I don't notice titles or post count (STEMO will be back as a newbie and still full of scouse shite. )
It does take along time to feel welcome sometimes when long standing members make an off hand comment, you get used to the banter.
You will not find a better group of people to help you car wise, personally or give help wherever they can.

I can vouch for that.
