Hesi Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 What a boring, dead shit lot(Freda, Mardi and Curious excepted), they must be, if they cannot put together positive and interesting topics of discussion about racing without him(still waiting on the Punters Club) What a self indictment and admission of their own inadequacies. Start a few threads, make a few posts, instead of pulling to bits what other positive initiatives others take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) i know, mate, but you don't have to rub it in again and again. We all know anyway. We're already on your side, remember! Edited March 12, 2020 by Maximus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Yeah yeah I know but this gem of a quote from the owner sums it up. "Go for it. My philosophy in running the site is "free speech" is paramount." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're already on your side, remember! Look Maxi, I recognize what you are saying, but from where I sit the frustration is, that we are not picking up many new members, even though we have done as we said, and delivered a personal abuse free, takling about racing, fun site with quite a few features that other sites don't have I'm also mindful it is getting harder to get the numbers for PJ's comps, so new participating members is vital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The best way to get new members is to promote this site's strengths, not to put down anyone else 'in the market'. I suggest you look at initiatives to bring in new race fans, rather than calling another site and/or its contributors 'ratshit' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly abuses that crap out of everyone except his buddies, and if anyone else tries it on with the personal stuff, they get rebuked by puddles McKenzie, the place is a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get over it....before your supporters get sick of the trivial nonsense you are perpetuating by giving it oxygen. I feel I have said this many many times before ...

Hesi Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Okay okay, I retreat, just the frustration creeps in from time to time. Pete will confirm, it's not a walk in the park on these sites 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just cut Hesi a bit of slack guys. He's passionate about this site and I think the frustration of our inability to attract many new members got the better of him. Having said that, we both recognize the importance of keeping our existing members happy as we have no wish to lose any of you because you are all important to us. We'll both endeavour to keep negative comments about other sites to ourselves from now on. Thanks for your views on this. Robust conversation like this is important and in no way discouraged. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must realise that Doug started BOAY as a means to provide an alternative to the bias and personal abuse prevalent on R.C....seems to have toned down a bit at the moment...but there remain several very good posters there. [ R.C ] I don't understand why more haven't had more than a passing look either there or here. Yes, Thomas has been a thorn in the side for many on BOAY which has produced a hiccup or two for the Chief - but his motives are/were very sound. He doesn't deserve a swipe, and you do yourself no favours in giving him one. A few more numbers here would be nice, but still early days. Maybe a FB page? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas remains a matter of personal taste I guess so we'll leave it at that. Good idea about FB. We'll look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
