swishy poll

Thanks for the support. This stuff all takes time and people have work & family commitments and other hobbies as well that this has to fit into.

As stated above the reason for the poll being removed is that the feedback is already being gathered via another method by the committee so it was to keep all the information going via the one route.

Just as everybody who has had a car licence for 15 minutes thinks hey know how to drive a truck (particularly older ones) than the qualified, experienced truck driver even if they have never driven a car without power steering, automatic, ABS, Traction Control and ESC. it is becoming the same with the IT industry. Just because people know how to use a PC doesn't mean they understand how the systems actually work nor the work involved in setting up, testing, converting the existing threads etc.

I have already said that if I had to estimate this as a paid for project it would be 5 to 6 weeks full time work for 3 people. As we are doing it with volunteers the realistic schedule is 5 to 6 months (as people can only give about a day a week). The meeting that got it rolling was only 6 weeks ago. Give people a chance to get it done.

I have to agree with Newto on this one. Why are the trouble makers allowed to continue with their posts without censure. As Newto said, 2 strikes and you are out for a while, continue, and their posts have to be passed by Admins before it is posted. The number of knowledgeable people we have lost due to abuse has to be cause for concern. As a lot of others have already stated, if you don't like a topic don't look at it. Because you don't like it doesn't mean everybody else dislikes it.

Hi all,

I missed Dave's post last night, and while I'm sure it would have been highly educational, enlightening and possibly entertaining to have read, the fact that it was gone before I even had a chance to see it just highlights the amount of effort that the mods and admin go to to keep this whole thing rolling along.

Thanks Guys.

Grant.

The forum is great! thanks to all who make it happen.
but 3 things annoy me.
1. sometimes the forum is slow to load >
2. people who write (talk) before thinking >
3. it is difficult to load photos (not necessarily the forums fault. :)
I've said it before but I'll say it again
"If you have nothing nice to say (write) then don't say (write) anything"
Cheers Debo

I have deleted your forum poll as there is an official process for giving feedback and we don't need to confuse people. I know you put the disclaimer up that your poll wasn't official and wouldn't mean much, but their has been too much talk about the forum and not enough about old trucks lately

May B the person responsible for the new 4M should also read this 4M 4 wot our requests R

edit:
eye jus bin finkin sumun iz trina ster up duh possums

well Debo's on the money I reckon I would say the only problem I would like fixed is number 2 the others I can live with but saying that I cant under stand about the photo thing but it does work and I can understand how it could be frustrating for people
The speed it takes to work well it can make the visit to the forum that much more fun the ride lasts longer
and as Forest Gump says " thats about all I got to say about that "
