Allo allo wots all this then. You blokes bitchen about trip reports again. So glad we have an electrical section to read so we don't have to look at stupid pics of rocks and campfires and 4wding and wide open spaces.

I actually don't like trip reports much as half the time I have no idea where they are because they are some place in the east I have never heard of.  Hasn't stopped me posting a few though as they are a good resource.

Darren's all in thread is great and I know where to find any of his stuff in one simple place.  It was this that caused me to post my cruiser cargo barrier build in my CT thread.

He usually give me the 'I'm gonna pumble the living daylights out of you' look but luckily, I can still run faster than he can. So I will continue to capture his magic face for all to see.

I beleave he's been out having a campfire and living the dream............

[DANBRI]

He is out fitting one of these to his Landcruiser.

[Gunna Do]

Will it have double or triple brush bars?

Wish he'd hurry up and get out of the naughty corner and satisfy all his adoring fans with another post.  

Or even better finish off this trip with a trip report.  http://myswag.org/forum/index.php?topic=3209.645

I'm sure this will be deleted or locked anyway. We cant have dissent.

The fact this thread has now gone for 5 pages would disprove that theory.

I find it interesting with the amount of 'stick it to the man' types of posts here.  Considering they are directed to the admin team who are not paid, and receive no other compensation for what they do, apart from a feeling that they are at least contributing in a small way to the success of the site.

I also find it particularly interesting that it seems fashionable to stick it to Brett, the guy who created this site in good faith, and pays for the running costs of this site from his own pocket.  Did you happen to notice there is no in-your-face commercial advertising on this site as opposed to others?  That is because Brett wears the costs.  He does this without complaint.  But it is OK to have a whinge about a simple request he makes?

Of course this does not mean the admins are above reproach, sure we make mistakes (we are human after all).  As the one who looks after the electrical section I am sure everyone is aware how challenging it is to keep things in line.  After a thread lock I usually get at least 5 PM's either supporting or condemning my action.  I have at times reversed my decision after receiving feedback, and I am sure other moderators have done the same.  It is this feedback that I welcome and I believe it makes me better at looking after things.

This leads me into saying it is the members that make this site what it is, not the admins.  With the exception of the electrical section this forum has the most 'hands off' moderation of any forum I've been involved in.  This allows the members to dictate the direction in which the forum takes, and which is exactly the way I see it currently works.

I now sit back and scratch my head when I see threads like these that go on about heavy handed admins.... are we really that bad?
