The admin has a unique approach.

Sometimes you can register during office hours.

I believe the site has been subject to a lot of spammy sign up requests so it's suspended for the moment. See the Sticky in the G&D sub forum.

Plus don't ask admin for any special favours. Notoriously grumpy and will ban anyone for as much as questioning. biggrin

I always thought vBulletin had a way of dealing with spammers. Isn't that part of the reason people pay for it rather than go the free route with phpBB?

Plenty of others. You won't find much of substance over there, unless Eddie posts something then people scramble to reply to him, quite amusing in that respect.

Lots of menopausal men posting vile rants in the "Draft Thread" that would see them flat on their backs if they said such stuff to others in real life.

You could try www.rolexforums.com (has multiple brands, not just Rolex), www.timezone.com or www.newturfers.com.

I disagree. If he didn't want people doing that, he should have stopped them being able to do so.

Remember though, if you Join Rolexforums, one word out of line and you're gone

Actually that is very true, sometimes I look through old posts for information on something and can't believe how many people that posted on the thread are now banned. I read more than post there though, Padi is tiresome with his too cool for school posts when someone is obviously excited about their new purchase.

When you say "out of line" what does that mean? Swearing? Not sharing the same opinion as the owner?

laugh You're not wrong there; the Bear Pit over there doesn't differ much from the Lounge over here although it almost seems that being a dick is encouraged. I stick to watch talk and the sales forum.

Ditto. I'd rather not get into an argument and end up doing a £1k deal with someone who still has a grudge against me.

A lot of what people say in criticism of EP I laugh off. Today's 'correct' makes me smile: it's just SO Sheffield, but there is plenty that doesn't show him in such a good light too.

I think the owner has done you a favour by succinctly giving you a taster of what it is like being a member there. Personally I find this forum more helpful and intelligent, with a greater number of knowledgeable people.
