I think there are a lot of us who took a lot of pleasure from Racechat, when it was free, and reasonably liberal. But now, I guess it is your choice whether you become a member or not, and if you choose to be, then it is only fair to abide by the rules. If that is how Rob see's how a portal of information should be, then that is his choice, we choose whether to use it or not.

As for oople..... I have to get my daily, nope, hourly fix of the ramblings that go on here, and there is a massive depth of knowledge and experience, albeit with an edge of humour.

He makes himself look so bad, by attacking any offenders, or by sly comments like the "Is this a good idea" thing. It just makes him look bad!

Why doesn't he tackle the rule breachs from the other angle "Don't post your links here, but if you wish to host your information/pictures/details here directly then be my guest". Turn it into a positive.

Ive said this on the thread, im not going to push his buttons and fish for a ban. I don't want to make myself look bad. I just don't like his approach, so made the constructive critism, now I'll leave racecrap alone.

if you think about it, by linking to the images and info, it saves his bandwidth, I understand where he is trying to come from, but really, thats not how the internet works...

i can't believe he has just had a go at the most respected 12th racer in the country for telling people about a practice day were this guy is offering to help and give advice to anyone who is interested.

the guy is only trying to help for god sake

Been banned many times from Rcracecrap and never been threatened with legal action...

Guy who runs it is clearly a Grade A 'silly face' anyway

Now normal non paying members can't even look at other members profiles

..

how gay!

Only last year a post that I put on race chat about a RC CHARITY event at nnrc for cancer got removed........come on we did raise £1.5k for charity!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was the last time I ever visited the site.

Do the BRCA still link to race chat, if I was a new racer and got sent to race chat it would put me right off.

If arranging help for others, and trying to get more people racing, is not for this forum, then we'll find another way to keep alive the spirit that Jim refers to. OK?

Someone log in and point them to o0ples 12th Section

Despite asking 2/3 times over the years, I've yet to see a link to oOple on the BRCA website - though if it's on there now I'll eat my own hair as I've not checked

I asked the question about it being deleted and got the response that i wasn't aloud to post the link unless i was a paying member,i didn't know

,anyway 2 or 3 people ask for the link to be sent to them and they would post it up,i did so but 1 of them got banned for it

which is just complete and utter madness.Anyway the guy that got banned is also a member of the HMNC forum along with me,i apologised and it was all cool. T

The thing is i went back on to R/C and said that i didn't know about it and said sorry that i only wanted to show the pictures, he then goes and gives me 1 Years free subscription, Go figure that out

.

I got banned because of your link also Ross except i got a lifetime ban to go with it when i was a fully paid up member for £15 and paid our club subscription of £50 and i wasnt even allowed to advertise our then website of www.racecentral.org
