A thread on another forum (where everything from wheel barrow axles to beards are discussed) was brought to my attention - some reminiscing occurred about lost and forgotten members - the majority of which are now members here, and one particular post struck a chord. Seemingly, and from their perspective, not much is going on here and that this forum will remain tiny in comparison - or so the post resonated.

I for one hope it does. People seem to forget that this is a dedicated 4x4 forum run on the initiative of the 4x4AG. We do not want wheelbarrow threads nor do we want to hear about someone begging for money nor do we want to hear what argument you may have had with the missus.

Thumbs up to the administrators, moderators and founders - keep this site dedicated to the cause as you have done so well over the past 2 years.

Thanks Ricoffy, I too was alerted to that Thread. Damassel is sorely missed there
We are not in competition with any other Forum.
We are not post chasing.
We are a dedicated Forum for enthusiasts.

As for the silly comments that this Forum is dead - over the past 60 days this Forum got more people into Low Range despite having 240 times less members - meaning we are over 240 times better at our purpose.
... and that, in the end, is all that really matters to us.

Maybe we should open a thread per 4x4 track / trip etc that we have done, a dedicated thread where people can review and rate their experience. Not saying that the threads for the specific gtg should be canned, but like building a catalog or encyclopedia of the tracks and trips with pics and videos. would be interesting to get more than one person's view on a particular track, river trip, lebombo trail trip etc.

Manny I must say, as someone who enjoys both Forums. something got lost with the split of the two forums. Many members here are very knowledgeable on many subjects and very outspoken on all those subjects.

Yourself XJ and Apocalypse is just some whose wider posts I miss. You rebelled against a 10 percent moderation or as you called it censorship and put in a 100 percent censorship so that arguments cannot break out.

This forum is doing well for what it is but I miss a good argument or just plain obnoxiousness of some of you.

Have a great day.
