Make that 6 -

Lurch! Where are you? I skied at WhiteWater after Christmas! Hope you're well.

well, it looks like five guys' garbage is just your treasure, Jemal.

five guys that have been here from 1999-2002... odd line of thinking.

Jemal:
I agree with Alex, Turbo Dave, Whee and countless others who have already left the forum. I would rate this board somewhere below 10 percent of what it used to be. Take care of the garbage... it is starting to stink in here.

This wouldn't have anything to do witht he message board carrying paid advertising would it ?

Sheer numbers of clicks generated by your pet troll may appear to boost figures, but at what cost.

When one of the most knowledgable people in the Mini world, who has in the past and possibly still does hold Mod powers here, councils going elsewhere you know that there is something wrong...

Regardless of whether you are the troll or not Jemal - though you undoubtedly know who it is - the damaged individual currently known as specialist is casting a long shadow on the reputation of your employer and his business.
By openly condoning the situation to carry on as long as you have, you really are wiping your arse with your own underpants.

Minimania used to be the punchbowl of forums, until the special floater arrived.

And anyone who thinks different is clearly playing a screwed game with the others...

If you think it's treasure, you must be the only one. I used to buy my parts here precisely because I felt loyalty because of the advice I got on the message board Minimania hosted.

No more.

Now now Lurch.... One man's garbage is another man's treasure!  Surely you don't doubt the popularity of the garbage in our train wreck culture?

"It's a Jeep Bini thing. You wouldn't understand."

Great tip, Chuck!

R what and R what?

Thanks Chuck, I try to check in here but they just won't take out the garbage. shame, really, this was a great forum for a good many years.

cheers

Awww, They're just afraid the alleged notorious unreliability and exorbitant cost of maintaining the MINI will rub off and soil the reputation of our beloved 'real Mini',  as one of my customers refers to his classic, so I know he's not talking about his R53 GP or his wife's R56!

it doesn't bother me at all but I don't doubt BMW goes after him if they find that site.

There are plenty of websites BMW went after, maybe the most notable one is the predecessor to northamericanmotoring.com which used to be called something else before they got strong armed.

I can't remember if this has come up here before. Graham Robinson, who lived a life of Minis since the early '60s, has retired and started up a  new Mini (and MINI) related forum. It looks like it has a lot of potential and can add some different views to what we are used to on this forum. Visit them both and add even more to your Mini knowledge.
