The Forum is slowly growing.

When I look at the member list we have some very out spoken, direct, opinionated members, but no petty arguments and a lot of respect shown, and a lot of knowledge.

Just how things should be.

107 members already! That’s impressive guys.

Are all these members new to 4x4’ing or are they maybe a disenfranchised bunch of dissidents that come from another platform?

I’d rather be associated with 100 or 1000 good people than 10000 threatened snowflakes off a bigger, yet declining misdirected heavily censored platform.

So well done to all the initiators

We are only 2 months old.
We are currently growing at a rate of 2 members a day. :shock:
We have many of the big names in the 4x4 world here.

The club is benefiting & growing as a result.
We have 3 current Threads about Club outings (Introduction to 4x4 Driving, The River Trip & The Skid Pan) & take up has been outstanding.
In fact, response is better than it was previously, which is telling.
We've also attracted a few new club members.

So all in all, this Forum has been a massive success & is a great place for Off Road Users (Be they Club members or not) to come spend off time.

I thank everyone involved.

I just hope it doesn’t become too big or heavily censored.

Numbers aren’t everything. Otherwise it just becomes another click bait site where all the relevant threads are in the past with no new relevance.

We are very mindful of this.
Every single member here has been vetted before being accepted.


Basically, we accept Club members as they are known to us.
We accept non-club members if it's people we know.
If we get applications from people we do not know I find someone who can vouch for them.

A good example is Chris Knott who joined today - neither I or my Committee knew him.
I asked around & both Hunter26 & Ginger said they know him & will vouch for him.

So everyone here is known by others here & has been approved.

We have a few who did not make the grade & were not granted acceptance.

Then I agree that you accepted him. Because at least it now gives him an opportunity to make better friends.
