New Year - New Poll - A New Beginning
I propose that the most viewed topic (MCOB) on this site be deleted.
I believe that this gives the wrong impression of what this site is about - the sharing of experience to the benefit of all.

can't really see how it gives ppl the wrong idea about the forum, most of what is written in there is (or at least was the last time i looked
but that was a long time back) ppls experience with other owners of 7's
i guess it all depends how you look at it, it can either be viewed as purely a bunch of wannabes slagging off the closest thing to the original 7
there is or it could be viewed as a show of how locost and other 7 replica owners come together as a comunity?
freedom of speech and all that though, my vote was to keep it
built a car, built a home, had a family. lost the family, lost the home, still got the car.

I agree that the contents of the post are quite harmless and just peoples impressions of other marque owners and not necessarily Caterhams but I think
it does give a bad impression of the forum and what we're about.
Imagine being greeted by a 'Miserable Locost/MK/MNR/Whatever Owning Bastards' thread on another 7 forum - It would hardly fill you with
joy would it?
Whilst the thread has every right to exist, for the reasons mentioned above, maybe the categories of Most Viewed Thread and Longest Running
Thread should be deleted. Lets face it, most of the stuff in there is just dross and not particularly relevant. Even the Top Posting
Members category is pointless.
Like Joel said, the latest Caterham owner to join the forum was offended by it, as would most Caterham owners when they see this as the longest
running and most viewed thread. Maybe thats why we have few Caterham owners contributing on this forum 
I reckon that the Most Viewed Threads, Longest Running Threads and Top Posting Membersshould all get the chop, but as this isn't an
option in the poll, I'll vote for deleting the thread

As has been said, numbers mean nothing. Having the number of posts registered does IMHO, encourage an enormous amount of meaningless drivel that is
totally off topic. That does not mean that all high posters post irrelevent junk, far from it, but it does seem to encourage a certain nothingness in
some peoples posts.

I have just joined the SW Se7en owners club, a friendly bunch, mainly Lotus and Caterham owners, welcomed me with my 'lowly' Locost with
open arms.
I dread the time one of them does an internet search on 'Mark Allanson' and comes up with 'Miserable Caterham....'

As locodude (aka PTM) is now away in Sanyonglickdong 4x4 forum heaven - maybe ChrisG could approach him with a yardarm and ask him to delete the
thread, afterall he still has internet access - what say you Chris?
