As I said - have had zero reports, concerns or complaints Was after community thoughts on the way the "flavour" was heading. Will still stamp out any harassment etc, but wanted to make sure it's a direction the regulars haven't got an issue with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way... zero farms given but it’s a bit of a shame if that’s the way it’s going to be nowadays. Considering this thread promoted free posting as long as no offence was taken.

Fuck yeah. Too much pointless swearing by cunts isn't good though - change the "u"'s to "@"'s and everyone is happy 19 minutes ago, k31th said: except for the funny ones No one thinks they are funny anymore. Holden, HSV stuff has had its day - daewoo doesn't even exist. Changing pigs to cops was funny, until I was describing the pig on the spit I was cooking - FFS, it looked like I was serving police over a charcoal pit rofl 17 minutes ago, HRM Fluff of Cornwall said: When asked for opinions then posts deleted when they’re given seems pointless and like a dictatorship especially when there was no malicious intent just pointing out an opinion.
