A message from Neio.

He has asked me to pass this on to the ORG:

As I have been effectively banned from the forum by means of restricted access I have contacted the Mods and decided to leave the forum for good.

Therefore this is my goodbye to all of you and the few good friends I have made whilst I have been here, you know who you are.

Those that I do get on with have my contact details anyhow, so if you want to go for a ride etc next year you know how to get hold of me. If not look me up on Facebook or via someone who has my details.

I know I wont be missed at all by some, but hey bothered.

Asta la vista to those I do get on with hope to ride with you again soon.

Laters my friend

take care dude, never met ya, hopefully see u next year on a mofo ride

It's a shame that people end up leaving because of 'forum fights'. Keep it safe Neio.

Look after yourself Neio, good luck with the career, and stay safe riding.

All the best mate. Didn't get a chance to meet you. If I am over that way, I will look you up and we'll go out for a hoon, so you can blast past me in racing crouch (remember that convo lol).

Oh yeah if you read this, my facebook is Stu Plows

Not sure what he did except some extreme views in the past, but I think its a shame really.

Who's next to go? It looks like people are getting banned by the shed load...

What it is mate, Neio has a different point of view to others a lot of the time, yes he may let it get out of hand some (maybe a lot) of the time. But, in his defence, some people haven't got round to using the resources of the site, more importantly, their computer mouses properly.

to be honest theres probably alot more to it than that. and as for using the ignore function bit late after the horse as bolted - i.e. a bit late to press the button when you've already been attacked or insulted

One of the reasons I drifted away from here was that a number of users constantly pushed the rules to the edge & beyond and gained enjoyment out of disrupting what was (and still is) one of the best bike forums on the net.

It's an Internet forum, run by people who devote their own time to making sure it's a happy place. The last thing admins & mods need is a persistant competition with people who don't give a t0ss for others. So if you consistantly wind them up, you'll get what's owed to you (I think they call that Karma).

Stick to the rules (both written & unwritten) and everybody will be fine. It's not a democracy, it's run by a council of people (the mod team) who discuss virtually all "punishments" before it's handed out. For those that want to continue to make it a nice place to be there shouldn't be any problems, for those that don't like the set up, you know where the door is.....

Simple really
