Default 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

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$$.

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 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.

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.

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

I think everything that needs to be said on this thread has now been said. You have all been agreeing that it is time to look forward, not back, and I dont think anything further will be served by continuing the discussions.

What happened to start this forum is no longer important. We are here and we just want to enjoy each others company and friendship, while discussing our common interest, which is Ford and all things car related.

Also, how other forums are run is no longer our concern. Anyone who wants to is welcome to remain a member of any other forums out there, but we are concentrating on this one, not bagging any of the others.

Lets close this thread and move on to bigger and better things.

Happy New Year everyone.
