I haven't been here as long as many but I totally agree with the previous sentiments. Because of my aviation connection I do visit Pprune from time to time but it is like an unlit back-alley in a nasty part of a nasty town, compared with this haven of tranquility! There is one other site with equal charm - The Cloud Appreciation Society" but they are hardly going be thugs are they? When I see there are 320+ I have a Question volumes that makes me realise that that's 32,000 Q & As and all top quality. There is also a load of highly professional and relevant information given by people who are expert in their field(s).
|
Agree totally - although I'm more of a lurker than a poster I always know when I do post here I'll always get constructive and sensible replies, never any form of abuse.
The quality of posts and the clarity of writing, to say nothing of the high standard of moderation, makes reading this forum a pleasure too.

I too frequent pprune but am only really looking at the Rotorheads forum...
They are usually pretty helpful but some of the older ex military do not take kindly to being told they are wrong by the wet behind the ears brigade...but its generally good humoured.
|
No "old bold pilots" huh?
|
I like the analogy of the roaring fire in the village pub as against the city centre pub-4-u.
It seems that the Back Room has some kind of hidden chav-filter which keeps it civilised
|
I agree
I love the interaction with all the other BR?s and the wealth of knowledge that?s on here, its truly a pleasant place to be, and although we may disagree with each other I respect fully everyone?s own opinion.
I have to admit that I may not be able to come up with interesting threads like other members, but I do try and I like to contribute as often as I can.
Im truly grateful for the advice I was given when I purchased my car, and other advice when needed.
This is a fantastic place to be part of.

I've registered with quite a few motoring forums over the years, but this is the only one I still regularly visit.
The strict moderation can be frustrating at times, but at least it is applied fairly and consistently. A visit to other forums with more relaxed rules shows how quickly things degenerate into personal insults and abuse if left unmoderated. I think the moderation policy here seems to automatically repel such people anyway, leaving only those people who want to have intelligent and rational discussion and debate. In my years here, I can think of only one person who truly made me angry with their attitude (not naming names and haven't seen them here for ages anyway), but the mods were on the case within minutes. Otherwise, differing opinions have always been expressed politely, and with good nature.
The other truly refreshing thing about this place is its lack of "cliques". On one motorcycle forum I used to visit regularly, there was a select group of individuals who would club together to insult / put down anyone who disagreed with them, or who somehow caught their attention for any reason. They would even boast about their little "clique" quite openly. Then there were the "public flouncers" who would huff off in the most spectacular way, with a long ranting post about how they were leaving and never coming back. Attention seeking nonsense.
None of that applies here. It's the best motoring forum on the internet (that I've seen, anyway).

I too frequent Pprune and find some interesting info but the threads drift and are so long that the same points get repeated ( as it is to onerous to read the whole lot)
loads of rubbish spouted
Here we usually keep the responses short and generally polite.
I am happy to accept the moderation and lack of abuse as a haven from them out there.

Very, very occasionally I get a bit miffed when someone asks a BR question and gets a sarcastic or terse reply. Generally though, I keep coming back because it is civilised, informative, and well-written.
Posters really seem to make the effort to check their spelling, grammar etc. before they post, making reading the answers a pleasure not a chore.
|
As another regular reader but irregular poster then I can only agree with all the comments made so far.
I now log into this site also daily for its blend of motoring, computing and miscellaneous themes! All of which are sensible, polite (the vast majority), and certainly informative.

You haven't been on pprune.com. There they post unexpurgated lengths of legislation or articles, rather than giving a brief explanation and pointing a tinyurl to the relevant page.

I can't argue with that. But as sure as the braid on my arm is gold, you will find the true aviation professionals posting on www.pproon.org instead. :D
Anyway, while I'm here, what car was it that the pilot in the old Rothmans cigarette ads was leaning against? My money is on the Maserati Khamsin, but I wouldn't bet my 911 on it.

Yes, on the whole a good forum. I miss Aprilia's input though, what happened to him? I also enjoy Pistonheads, some great information available there on all sorts of topics. A different kettle of fish though.

Last time I exchanged emails he was fine but busy. He sometimes pops in to have a look too.
As a mod of almost 12 months, thanks for the feedback on the site. But on the whole the members make the site work well too. If someone new posts something wrong we are alerted quickly as mods. Although we try to read a lot (if not all) posts.
So 'gen mNE thx 4 d fEdbak.

Got to agree with all that have posted. And its not 'sucky' to say that HJ and the mods set the tone, so a big ave! to them.
Armitage Shanks: re Screwloose. I too miss him, never met the guy (?) in person but really liked his style. He once posted a fulsome reply to a question I'd posed along the lines of "why modern garages cant fix cars" that was illuminating and a great read.
And thats the thing- his style is unmistakeable. If you want to get a fix, I suggest you head to the Ilexa forums and read the posts of a chap called "Angus"... I've nothing other than experience of reading SL's posts here to say its the same person, of course, but if not, they were separated at birth.
(raises glass to Screwloose, and nods sagely, muttering: "never buy a used CR diesel without a warranty").

I've had the odd, er, disagreement with the management.
But even though the Back Room has its faults, for me, there is no other motoring forum that even comes close.
This is the only one I feel compelled to return to.

While agreeing with the (perhaps a bit smug?) sentiments above, I would add that a small part of the pleasure is that the site (nearly always) doesn't crash my elderly PC, so the boys in the real backroom also do a good job.

It's a bit like a very big and long cocktail party. People arrive. People leave. People quarrel and schmooze. Sometimes they nip out to the bog and come back in disguise.
Naturally all but the very crass are duly grateful to their host and his unobtrusively efficient catering staff.
|
Interesting analogy Lud. Wonder if it has ever led to any indescretions in the time honoured manner of such occasions ?
;-)

I agree with most of the above but I tried to make my feelings a little clear yesterday on this thread.

I say, one of the catering staff is trying to join the party.
Bad form, what?

Bad form, what?
Not really. A totally ratted steward is par for the course. You can't really blame them for trying all the cocktails.

The place is in a league of its own, that's true, and is an outstanding source of information and advice.
But there are occasions I feel it could do with ever so slightly less dusting and house keeping.
|

I have an avuncular affection for the place!

Should we greet new members with "A drink Sir/Madam" ?

Aha! Sun's below the yardarm I see. Just nipping upstairs to the fridge.

Lud, I hope your house is not totally upside down. It can cause confusion. Upstairs to the fridge... :-)
I'll be saying that soon I hope - buying a townhouse with an office downstairs. Fingers crossed.
I hope I've not offended too many loyal members in 11-12 months as a moderator. And mostly enjoy it - and try to make it clear if I post as a mod I am a moderator. Otherwise I'm just Rob.
|
Put a fridge in the office. And a coffee machine.

I hope to have an office (two'ish... one gets an iMac and the other the rest) downstairs soon with utility room and other facilities.... but that's not motoring. Tell's oneself off for that as a mod.

Not totally, no, but our bit is. It isn't a problem usually.

"It seems that the Back Room has some kind of hidden chav-filter which keeps it civilised"
As well as the civilised sontributors, as HJ says - a lot is down to the mods - over the years I've been looking in they have been of a uniformly high standard. A little like that schoolteacher you remember from the old days - you respected him/her, learnt a lot from him but were slightly afraid that you might earn his/her displeasure because s/he could mete (spelling PDA/Rattle etc??) out the punishment also.
Must admit after making a post after rather too much of the red stuff I anticipate replies with a little trepidation!!

Nasty posters eh..... no - just pedants.
--The thing that really gets me are when posters try to belittle other posters because they do not use the correct spelling or grammar in there posts!! ---
Surely should be ' their posts ' :0) ( I'm saying nothing more).....
|
Generally agree although a cynical person might say that any disgruntled members have long fled the nest by now anyway, leaving only the committed ones...
It's a good forum for all sorts of information but I tend to gravitate towards manufacturer-specific forums for model-specific information more and more these days.
There are some excellent other forums as well. I very much like Pistonheads.
I miss some of the 'old' clan though, particularly 'Screwloose' (technical issues), 'Aprilia' (pretty much everything), and 'THe Growler' (RIP, he used to write good posts about somewhere foreign where he lived).
Not sure about the lack of ?cliqueness? though ? it?s very middle class and right-wing to me. The Telegraph influence, no doubt.
|
To put a bit of motoring into this thread, for someone who actually doesn't much care about cars (please insert your own "and it shows" comment here) I spend an unfathomable amount of time here.
Pprune is a hoot. If you want people getting incredibly hot under the collar but in a really polite middle class way about the "right way and the wrong way" to do some thing have a look at Period Property and post something casting doubt on whether lime mortar really allows a building to breathe. Heresy doesn't even begin the describe it.

To put a bit of motoring into this thread Pprune is a hoot.
Hmmm. Just about a motoring link.
However IMO do not read Pprune if you are a nervous flyer or it might ground you for ever.
I think the quality of this site attracts those with vehicle problems that are prepared to "take the fight" to the extent of court action.
It is nice to get the end of the story so that the thread is a useful look up.
We all know HJ is a busy fella but it is nice to see his regular input on threads.
As others have said I is nice to have a simple text type site without all the "silly" bits as seen on other sites
My thanks to the mods and Stephen.

. . . is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven, but is, in truth, more like the sunshine, because of the cheerfulness that it doth engender.
Or something like that. :-)
Actually, I don't spend as much time here as I used to. But the fault is not with the Back Room, but with myself. The other places that I frequent on the internet are not nearly as pleasant.
So thanks again to HJ, the mods, Mr Khoo, and the rest of you.

What you all said, right, except what I can't stand you know yeah right is them geezers that use txtspk or whatever, know what I mean?

...The thing that really gets me are when posters try to belittle other posters because they do not use the correct spelling or grammar in there posts!!...
For this forum - or any other form of communication to work - we have to be able to understand each other.
That can only be achieved by us all using the same system of spelling and grammar.
For example, I do not understand quite a lot of text speak, so were that allowed on the forum, I would be excluded - might please some of you, but not me. :)
A few spelling mistakes may not prevent a post being understood, but the problem is knowing where to draw the line.
I have seen some posts on here that are littered with so many errors, they are difficult to understand.
|
Some of worst posts are newbies who rush in here with a very complicated question, and start it with "Hi Guys" (Yuck), get 30 + answers and never come back or, if they do, don't say thank you for all the help!
|
Interesting to see that a thread in which we all pat ourselves on the back and tell each other what thoroughly decent chaps we are has prompted 83 replies since it was opened yesterday (4/11/09) at 10.48 am.
The only two threads on the first two pages of the index that have more replies (one about 4x4's and one about a stolen Land Rover) were opened on 21/10 and 12/10 respectively.
As an old friend of mine used to say "it's nice to be nice when you're with nice people".
We are all nice, aren't we?

>>don't say thank you for all the help!
Aprilia devoted much of his time on here to answering some pretty complex questions. Most would thank him, but others would not.

Ditto.
I came to the same conclusion independantly. It is not a big ask to write proper, yeah, like, innit? Tiepoes are fine, but bad speeling is another matter. At the risk of being called a pedent, I loose interest when there grammer is so bad, it defeats you're attempts at reading there posts. In those cases, your definately better off moving on to the next thread. Gotta go in piece man, innit. My bad. LOL!!!!!!

Having recently re-entered the corporate world after an extended period of voluntary absence I am still coming to terms with the modern language of the business workplace.
I have been treated to a number of "seminars" hosted by people with strings of letters after their names concluded usually by "MBA" ( Master of Beggar All ? )
I have been invited to "look at the bigger picture" to analyse "green fields", indeed I have been "big asked" on more than one occasion.....I've been told that I can make a loss provided the "pipeline doesn't choke" and to "upscale my resource count," ( hire more people ).
Most of the time I just want to slap them but so far have limited my responses to inward chuckling and suitable muttered oaths......

Humph, the business speak is really useful. It identifies people who don't know what they are talking about, or who are worried they don't and are bluffing. I have rarely met anyone whose acumen I have respected who has used it. Indeed, plain, simple speaking is normally the mark of the real expert.

No sane person can take corporate life for long without some damage.
But it's where the money is, or some of it, for some people.
Tried it, couldn't stand it, went respectable in my fashion and have been poor ever since. But lucky I think too up to now anyway.
Sure do miss those pay cheques, pool cars with all expenses paid and expense account no questions asked if you didn't get greedy, write the number at the end of the month and in it came. Of course the actual figures in the mid sixties, especially in the case of a congenital idiot when it comes to financial negotiation, were minuscule by today's standards.

It is all this management waste I really hate. Just seems to be managers managing mangers. This is how the NHS seems to work, my mums friends all work for the NHS and some of the stories you would not believe. Things like a new boss ripping out a brand new (1 month old) carpet because the colour dosn't match their new logo.
Its why my dad left local government in 1997 because it was the same there. You are not allowed to think.
I have come to the conclusion I can never be employed because I will simply refuse to use phrases like "idea shower", "Multi ethnic etc". The main reason I can't do it though is because I cannot sit one place for long enough. I used to work as a CSS coder/designer in an office without any windows!
I probably will get a proper job one day but it will be something very different.

Mrs Thatcher got it from that Chicago school carphound, the internal market, of course with paper-shufflers to run each bit of it, and foisted it on the NHS and other state-run or state-owned outfits and services. Creating a cancerous new social stratum.
Poisonous garbage which is now general practice.

I did some business modules at university and we were told that public sector wastage is often done for fiscal reasons. E.g it keeps people in jobs. The government really can't afford to it much longer though. It explains why there is so many departments though.
My mate was one them, he got paid to do nothing but they have tightened it up now and he has to work quite hard to earn money, it was a shock at first though. He works for a government agency (one we all hate!).

We should be upscaling voluminous networking exchange solutions to result in the achievment of an excellent systemic electronic data interchange synchronization, thereby exploiting technical environments for mission critical broad-based capacity-constrained systems. This will fundamentally cause a morphing into a well designed and actionable information infrastructure whose semantic content is downright null. To more fully clarify the current concept, a few aggregate issues will require addressing to facilitate a distributed communication venue. In integrating non-aligned structures into existing legacy systems, an even more effervescent (bubbly) gateway blueprint in a backward compatible package of tangible and immeasurable strategic value will result in right-sizing the conceptual frameworks, but only when thinking outside the box while driving a Ford Mondeo TDCI.

I haven't the foggiest idea what you're on about comrade Derfel, but it sounds good so I'll go along with it ... Have you ever considered a career in Politics!

I have no idea what it means either! Or only a vague idea! It is in fact some corporate gibberish picked up on my travels on the Internet slightly adapted to fit the thread.
As for politics, that idea has been kicked into the long grass!

I sent it on to my wife who's brain is still 75% functional, and she said ~
"the only thing I understood was Ford Mondeo!!!"

The Ford Mondeo was my main addition to the content!
In essence I don't think it really means anything much but it is a very clever take on both corporate gibberish and technobabble.

...we need a non motoring waffle thread, alongs the lines of IHAQ and Computers...
That's a no brainer, going forward.

TBH its good to see the world of motoring has caught up with the IT industry in its use of acronyms, TLA's even.
Today we now have
HGF, ABS, EBD, DMF, DPF, FAP, EGR etc etc
all designed to spread FUD in those not in the know.
Just like we do in the IT game

There is regular consideration amongst the Mods for a more "open" thread - in fact there was a discussion around three weeks ago and a "light touch" moderation policy was applied to a then running thread - I'll let you try and figure which one it was. The "however" is in actually how much moderating time was taken up in allowing such a thread to run - this thread has attracted minimal moderation by the way - but this is down to self - discipline amongst members but there's a huge amount of creep off topic in it..........None of the Mods have the time to monitor full time, and it is a labour of love....
