Both formats have administration schemes that allow a select few to kick anyone out that they deem should be for any reasons whatsoever.
Like the advise in the Johnathan Livingston Seagull story... "<just> Let it go"
or the Beatles "Let it be", if you like music better than books.
Mate, why even pick at a scab?

The difference from this Forum and Facebook is that a corrupt few cannot ban users.

Remember Rowena Wallace? Took over the forum very early.

I remember that Alister the sad part is I lost my last Stubby Holder a couple of years ago at some party. And yes I remember paying a small subscription. Like most of you I don't see any point in raising past history on wards and forwards as they say. All in all most of the people on this forum have been helpful. I drop in from time to time and read the latest post I also see some shared stories on Facebook all of this helps us stay in contact. This site has worked for me so thanks to all that put in the hard work.

I suspect all forums go through a rough patch where passions run a bit wild. I have seen it before on other forums and whilst I wasn't around when it happened here, I have certainly heard about but equally happy not to get involved.
As a newbie to OKA's I have found this to be the best place for information by a country mile. I can search for info and there is a mountain of it.
Whilst I post my build on the Facebook pages, I don't expect to get technical help so much there but it does seem to be where the sale of vehicles appear...it is where I came across 050.
I do try to support the local guys as I don't think it is fair to use them as a knowledge source and then use that knowledge to buy from over overseas. They are not infallible and certainly I have paid more than I could have on occasion but when I had a problem and I phoned 1 of them the answer was instantly "it is part number xxxxx, ring ahead to Pt Augusta and they should be able to get it in and have it waiting for you"....and they were right so the few extra $'s I paid was pretty good insurance in my opinion.
