I've been thinking about this for a while now and now decided to leave for forum, just for a month or permently shocked

In all hounestly since i bought the car over 3 years ago it has been faultless,
and fountunatly not had many problems which have plaged other owners wink smile

Even through modifing the car to its present spec,
GT28RS,helix etc

I find the forum very useful and informative and it gives good advice and is a general 'must' if you own a coupe
regardless of spec wink

But basically over the last 6 months i,ve just got a bit chessed off with certian people on here
either regarding parts or not paying shocked blush/ you know who you are evil
and i find that my comments or adivce on topics is often looked down upon blush rolleyes

From what i gather where all here to share information and learn from each other.

Anyhow, I intend to keep the coupe and splash out on a 3'exhaust and a livemap wink
Regarding time with work and other things, eg house,

i might come on here just to see whats happeing and whats new, but realisticaly when ever i can,

It's been intresting laugh

There is a bit of a 'clique' going on here on this forum but don't let that put you off, it's still a good place.

As regards folk not paying etc, well, thats not good but every forum has a bit of that going on, you've just been unlucky.

As you say though, still the No.1 resource for all things coupe so if you are keeping it you'll find yourself back here I'm sure. smile

Maybe take a break if you feel you need to, but don't leave permanently frown

If anyone cheeses you off on here then just ignore them and as for people not paying you, then contact a moderator and I'm sure/I hope they'll try to help you out smile

Yup. Seen that too. But I think most forums are like that, (although shame on those who decide this the right way to behave).

Personally, I'd never use the forum to buy and sell. But always use the forum to receive and give advice on subjects about the Coupe.

But... I can see why issues such as non-payments, or non-receipts of parts, and the 'cliquey' kind of attitude we see sometimes can put people off.

You'll be back.
You will sneak on with out loggin in like a crack addict - 'just a quick look' - thats how it starts.
You will want to get involved in debate -
see that I keep ruining serious posts with stupid comments and will feel the need to PM me with "TW@T"
You will notice, that finally - I get a pic posted of Carlt on the forum as a Pirate or Bankok hooker.
Then you will sneak on at work - look in the coop vs threads and get a 'man-throb' on
Then the bed wetting starts - (well did for me)
Then, THEN the anger, and the nile, sorry, denial...
You will want to sneeeeeeeeek a peek at 'Coupe related chat', but cant, or rather wont, before you know it you are punching your gran in the face and shouting "I hate the shout box"
You look in the mirror and you look like Golum but with cherry red lipstick on and stink of whisky and defeat and wonder 'Hey - where has all my body hair gone??.
You dont sleep. Never sleep.
You get sacked from your job and have done things to your dog that even Stan wouldnt do (unless there was a web cam).

You will end up, under an archway, no shoes,the only thing warm you've had in weeks is a dump. Drinking own brand supermarket Vodka and trying to make a 5 cylinder warble sound in between deep sobs and snot bubbles.

It gets worse, you beg for cash to crash a net cafe and look up filthy dirty perverted corsa forums. Pretending you own a corsa, or worse a Nova. You cant wash the shame off though.
Drunk you will roam the streets, drunk. See a Dawoo Matiz, and wonder if there is a forum. God, I am ashamed for you.

Do you want that?
HUH?

I will pray for you tonight. Be strong.

You said the Coop has been faultless on the forum. You're jinxed now. You'll be back when it goes wrong... tomorrow.

As said most forums with a small user base (comparatively as this is) are cliquey but you can only ever put up or shut up. I guess you're taking the latter option!

All addictions and habits always take effort, it just has to be an effort you enjoy or can afford.
