Time of the month ??

[Mike W]

Well what can I say .. Over the last few days this forum has degenerated into what can only be described as people either bitching or calling each other ... Can we please get back to the topic on hand with this forum which is to help and give advice ...

Yes if we have something bad to say about certain vendors then by all means do it only after exhausting every avenue open to you ... Like emails and phone calls and private messaging through the forums ...Don't just put up bad posts because you have not been dealt with the next day or other trivial stuff ...

I have watched a certain thread degenerate into nearly a full on flame war over the net .... NOW !! you guys should know better and WHAT!! does it look like to NEW people that join this forum ...????...It makes us lot look like idiots .. If you have issues deal with it in private .....if that dont work and it does not end satisfactory to all parties involved then by all means post a thread on it ... HECK..... USE THE chatroom if you have to .. that's what its there for and then we can keep the main forum free of the crap I seen just lately ...

I have nothing but the upmost respect for all the members here and to Stuart for letting us have the free speech that we have ... BUT!! with free speech comes the responsibility that you need to THINK!! before you type before this forum ends up in a free for all ....

Well thats my rant over with and for gods sake this is a hobby ... and is supposed to be enjoyable ... SO ENJOY IT !!!!

Here ends the lesson

I have only been a member since September and as a complete "no nowt!" I have found this site invaluable and read every post in order to "glean" as much information as possible (addicted). The recent ""discussions!!"" have really disappointed me and i have been looking to other sites! Mike W,s post has re-inforced my decision to stay with this site (and i thank him) and not allow the few to spoil things for the many.

Well said, I must admit I have been dissappointed in the way certain threads have gone and appear to be repeating themselves as we type!!!!

[cambs flyer]

I agree with my fellow members, come on chaps, your all too well respected and what makes this forum the place it is for this to continue any longer.

[del19_82]

I have to agree with ya Mike. I have hardly been on in a few days as all i was seeing was bickering and arguing. I thoroughly enjoy using this site and if i had a paypal account would definately donate (stuart if your reading this is there any other way to donate?????). IMO the information available on here is invaluable to newbies and experienced pilots alike and we need to keep it as friendly as we possibly can. Lets enjoy the forum for what it is, a wealth of information and knowledge on rc helicopters!!!!

[163phil]

I thoroughlly agree with all that's been said. Good post Mike, let's hope certain individuals take note.

I come here for fun and because it is supposed to be "your friendly rc helicopter community" - let's keep it that way

I have found this site invaluable and read every post in order to "glean" as much information as possible (addicted).

Exactly why this site was created as well as a place for like minded people to hang out and have some fun. But not at the expense of others or personal ego trip's.

Hello mates, Just opened this thread and was wondering what the heck is going on. I've been a member about for about 1 and half months and really enjoy this forum. I'am a single parent and at times dont get to open the forum up. My point, I missed what you guys are talking about, and I agree with this latest thread lets move on. Just my 2 cents. Thanks to all members you been great. Dewey

[fatmantom]

geeezz i go away for the week and come back to this!!???

i'm missed the threads so don't know what went on but its sad to come back to see this, good on you mike for the wake up call!

this forum has great people on.. let it remain that way

[inferno]

Well... despite what been said i do agree mike, however after my current issues are finalised, im going to think long and hard and possibly look elsewhere myself. Most of the guys ive dealt with here are good freindly, full of advice, and genuine. I think its only the trading side ever caused problems, but youll get that anywhere you go.

As a newbe a year ago, id be lost without this forum.

One thing i will add, at what level does a private problem, that could potentially affect other members, need to be made public?
