The battle is over but the war is far from won.

Just looking at FF.com and already the censorship and shitfighting has begun.

I doubt it will end anytime soon.

Happy new year to everyone reading this. I'll be behind this site 100%, I just hope the current FF members realise whats going on right in front of them.

Cheers,
Greg

well put bro, well put

champsky · 30-12-2004, 11:26 PM

who said there had to be a war??????

not really interested just making conversation :P

Franky · 30-12-2004, 11:29 PM

I think soon the sheep will flock with the rest and leave alone the creator to think over what he's done ;) nothing against FF but whether you wish it well or not, I don't think it'll last, unless he changes it to US Ford forums

I was so happy when I came across this forum tonight. I was really getting peeved with the other bull.

And I also hope you all have a safe and happy New Year, and a FORDtastic 2005

Lol, its just a saying.

For me, seeing all the forum admins that I've met, and respect, get booted and replaced with the owners mates from the US is enough for me. Sheep my a$$.

champsky · 30-12-2004, 11:35 PM

Still it's a shame things went down the way they did though.

May well happen with the new admin being US & members from way back.

pauljh74 · 31-12-2004, 12:01 AM

I have little idea what went on - I've haven't been on the forum lately due to internet issues and just being plain busy, but seeing that a few long serving admin guys jumped ship (or were pushed - whatever, I don't know) there must be some serious problems going on. For a while the FF has been dominated by aussies it seems - and to keep up on local news and events, it's logical to back the aussie guys by moving across to here.

Well if all the aussies are here... then FF will be full of ****s opps I mean yanks

(easy mistake)

XAHardtop · 31-12-2004, 12:09 AM

I don't see any reason why the two sites can't co-exist. I wasn't personally affected by the recent events so I do wish FF all the best. It does seem logical that the .com.au version came about because the original ff site was clearly dominated by Aussies. Times change, people move on but the community will live on no matter what website we're on. As for lumping all of the US members as yanks/****s I think this is a bit of an unfair generalisation. In the Cleveland forum especially I valued the contributions of a few US based members, most notably Davis.

Agree totally. Mind you I haven't seen davis around in a while...

paul7v7 · 31-12-2004, 12:17 AM

being a moderator at FF during this time is pretty challenging. don't know what threads to keep open and to close.

anyways a brighter note wishing you all a happy new year, best of luck for 2005.

Yum-Yum · 31-12-2004, 12:21 AM

hey right back at ya paul.

champsky · 31-12-2004, 12:23 AM

yeah and on a personal note, plz stop generalising all americans as ****s/yanks

theyre aren't all bad and i have some relatives who live over there as well as some good friends i talk to regularly.

if you have to plz refer to them as them FF ****s/yanks :P

much abliged

b2tf · 31-12-2004, 12:27 AM

Night_Lurker, has Lunatic said anything to you about this site? Im just wondering how he feels about one of 'his' mods being a member on here.

I'm not trying to cause any trouble, im just curious.

paul7v7 · 31-12-2004, 12:28 AM

he hasn't said anything. I don't what he can do really. I am also a member of many other forums.

Franky · 31-12-2004, 12:30 AM

lighten up people it was a joke... did I meantion that my parents are American? hmmm guess not. Oh and yes I was only refering to the FF yanks (the ones in particular that are ****s not all of them)

b2tf · 31-12-2004, 12:33 AM

Ahhh ok, fair enough then.

I actually wasn't referring to you in particular. It just seems to be a general theme across these forums at the moment and probably understandable to an extent due to recent events.

mick.wheelz · 31-12-2004, 12:36 AM

i dont really think we should be concidering this a war... i still want to be an active member of both forums

xdc351 · 31-12-2004, 12:42 AM

As I said before, its a saying, not a challenge (though some seem to have taken it that way).

All I can say is i'm rivoted, its like internet survivor

Good call ! This place is not a beat up on FF!
I hope the smoke settles and both survive and prosper, each will have something unique to offer.

All the best to FF and all the very best to AFF in 2005.

Yeah I agree it's a bit unfair that because people are upset with Lunitac they're taking out a bit of frustration on other US members. But don't get me wrong that wasn't my intention and you're right some were really helpful on FF.

I don't really this thread has lead to anything but more conflict between both sites...

outback_ute · 31-12-2004, 12:50 AM

It's a damn shame to have left behind nearly a million posts - sure some were full of carp but there was/is a lot of good info there. I don't intend leaving FF behind fully but I also belonged to other forums anyway, I don't see the problem.

b2tf · 31-12-2004, 12:55 AM

Ok, i admit it. Yes i have given LunaticSVT a bit of a serve. Why? Because it's my opinion, not because everyone else is.

Not that that is an excuse for it

I'm gonna stop now. Im gonna put my effort into helping out the team here to get FFAU as good as FF.com was. Yes i know this will sound very hipocritical given my latests posts on FF, but let's leave it, let LunaticSVT deal with things his way.

There is no need to pledge allegiance or burn bridges. Obviously the vast majority of us will be on here more than FF, but that's not to say we won't go abck from time to time. I know I will be.

Again, i apologise for the hipocracy.

xdc351 · 31-12-2004, 12:58 AM

I think its fair to say there was plenty of people not happy with the way ff was run long before this thread was started. You don't gain 200+ members overnight for no reason.

Fact is, lunatic is still making snide remarks and doing nothing to bridge the apparent gap between the 2 sites.

I will say the opinions I expressed in this thread are mine and not intended to be the voice of FF.au, but they are my opinions and will remain so.

Its been a wild first day, i'm going to bed!
