Back in 2003 I joined the forum at grandprix.com and for years I was happy there. It was a nice atmosphere, friendly etc. Then in about 2012 some new members joined who didn't get along with some other members. Sadly things started to go downhill and eventually it turned into all out war. Admin got fed up, eventually, he banned a couple of people and got the rest of us to vote on who should be mods. I won or lost the vote depending on how you looked at it. With a couple of other mods, we cleaned the place up, got rid of the trouble makers (damn I enjoyed that) but by then it was too late, a lot of the nicer people had left.
It limped on until 2016 when admin suddenly pulled the plug on the place, no prior warning, not even to us mods. That really made us angry after all we'd done for him.
I tried other forums but to be honest I couldn't settle and I wasn't that bothered. Then just over a week ago I found this place and it felt like I could be happy here. So I signed up and realised this is a really nice place to be. No one has scared me off and I like the vibe here. That means you're more than likely stuck with me for the foreseeable. So now you know how I got here and I hope that's okay since others were explaining how they ended up here too.
If you read all that, well done
