Ah yes the exiled Pradopoint KLC members, I was wondering where they would pop up. May they talk about as many possums as they can fit into a Prado.

I haven't looked at LCOOL in months due to what I consider OTT moderating and allowing one woman to rant about a person's post starting with gender biased "Gents", and then deleting posts that were not personal but critical of the rant.

I'd only be fooling myself to think that they miss me but I wasn't happy with the heat in the kitchen, so I left.

for those disenfranchised with the Lcool world

admittedly, these forums are in the start up phase, but are much more open to friendly banter and conversation.  :cheers:

the newlandcruiser forum has been around for a while, but has got a wriggle on lately by a few members who have upgraded from dual cab hiluxes to dual cab cruisers, but lots of tech etc on all models- including the 60 series (LCOOL in joke)

the pradotech forum was formed due to the same sort of frustration with pradopoint

Agreed, I have only been a member of Lcool for six months but am not interested anymore due to the moderating, they seem really intense!, too intense!

Like a lot of Forums, if not all at some stage, personalities get too big and there are head clashes and urinating contests.

One big issue is some forums had the keys over to children, and that destroys the forum within weeks. that happened on patrol forum.

I know nothing.............

I joined pradopoint earlier in the year when I downgraded to the prado and I have stayed well clear of any of that sort of behaviour.
(I have the electrical section on myswag for a half scale war or I can talk to the missus for a full scale war..... ;D)

HOWEVER - I did manage to come across this link today on there which I reckon is great...............For any prado owners out there....
