I think its completely f**king stupid that everyone can read everything including the FAQs (well those left anyway) and not have to pay. Sure they can't ask a question, but tbh 99.5% of the info is already on here for them to see and google will find it.
Stan: I think you need to take a step back, stop posting on absolutely everything and enjoy some time with your new little 'un. You don't get this time back - never forget that - the forum isn't important
The fact that everyone can read everything is neither here or there IMO. A lot of members are here for the fun and banter of the forum. Many members who have been here for years don't need to come on and find/ask for information, they are here for the fun and enjoyment of chatting with people whom they have been chatting to for years with similar interests.
Adam, you're a classic example. You don't have a 306 anymore and drive a Volvo. Why are you still here? Because its a good community where you can have a laugh and keep up with long time friends. The 306 is getting on a bit now and that's mainly the focus of the forum nowadays. Yes, there are still technical discussions going on of course but in the main its long timers which keep the community thriving, a community which I'm proud to be part of.
As for 'stop posting', I post if I have something to say as you have done in the above quote. That's the point of the forum, to post. If no-one posted there wouldn't be anything to read. I can take a backwards step if people would like and just Admin from behind the scenes, but surprisingly enough I, like many of the rest of you enjoy being here and contributing to discussions where applicable. Lets get this site progressing for the better and let the good times continue...
