There's no problem with people meeting up for a chat and a fry, none whatsoever, but I was enquiring why the offer was extended seeing as we are supposed to be a community..? You also ignored what I said about a meet in Midway and not telling people or making a thread. Guaranteed others would be (rightly so) wondering why the offer wasn't extended. For me it sums up the sense or lack of community here.

He said people met up previously to wash cars, don't see anything particularly untowardly about that. Then again I dont have the mind set of wanting posters you dont like banned and sending out snidey pm's to mods.

This wasn't a boards meet, it was a group of friends, most of whom happen to be on boards (like the majority of the country) meeting up for a chat. I've personally met most of the guys from other forums or through mutual friends. I'd chat to a number of them on a regular basis, unlike the majority of posters here in motors. Sorry if a few people feel excluded but frankly you need to grow up. Tis a sad day for the motors forum if a few guys can't post up a few pics of their cars without getting crap about it.

I have absolutely no problem with a group of people meeting up on a Saturday and I have no problem if those people met through Boards. The problem that I have is them posting about it afterwards. I'm close friends with a number of the regular posters on here and we meet on a regular basis. However, when we do we don't post about it on boards afterwards talking about how fantastic a meet it was.

mik_da_man wrote: » I don't think I miss anything tbf, my post references the ability to post some pics without getting crap about it. I. Don't see any posts going on about how fantastic it was. Surely we should be allowed to post a few pics of a nice collection of cars without people feeling left out.

Community doesn't involve living in each others pockets. I think all there knew the others meeting up, some of the people there i'd consider friends in real life. Meeting up with your buddies isn't a sin surely? Personally I wouldn't be a bit put out by others meeting up. I see that as a good thing, people out having the craic with more like minded people. That's a good thing.

The problem lies when one chap drives 150 miles each way to this "local" meet and nobody else outside that? As in not even a short post in the chat thread to say a few were thinking of meeting tomorrow in cork for brekkie, pm if interested. IIRC people who attended that "meet" were also the ones who complained of the clique in the chat thread recently enough and yet now are creating their own. For the third time, if there had been a meet organized by 10 of us in Midway and we hadn't mentioned it here you can guarantee people from Connacht and Munster would be wondering why not.

You know the one I mean, the one that the flop that was Irish Motoring came out of. Well those people made a huge point to complain about the development of cliques in the chat thread on here. then today here they are developing their own?
