Depending upon circumstances and mood, IMHO we all probably fit into both of those types at some stage.

This has definitely improved the forum IMHO.

Nice to hear.

Thanks Bumps.

Go back a couple of years and the regional forums were a significantly quieter place and there was hardly even a need for them. Now that the numbers have crossed some sort of threshold they have taken a life of their own, and I know that some people only browse their own corner of the world now.

Given this and the inevitable increase in the rate of posts it is a logical and necessary progression to further split the regional forums by topic. Equally, the amount of admin that Mark and Jason must have to put in these days surely means that the use of some local assistance is both necessary and a polite way of assisting what is a great forum. If nothing else, some local representation in the same timezone could more rapidly address any problems.

Fully agree with you, Matt.

LOL. That occured to me when reading Matt's post too - we seem to have similar sense of humour Z4.

Cafe.Racer · 11-18-2007, 03:56 PM

The forum is now much better. Look how much more BMW related stuff has been posted since the other day.

Much, much better this way.

I can't even imagine what it would be like with Callous as a moderator...
