If it is to work the four letter words,personal jibes.
Idiots who just do a one liner & then scamper away.
They need to be banned.No warnings.
I know it won’t work too many bad attitudes just as on the roads.

Now I get it, people have been calling this a forum, which I knew was wrong. If a real forum does go ahead, I won’t be part of it.

agreeded 100% with bavarian missle!
a forum for this website will be different because it allows a such a diverse range unlike a ford or holden forum.- no harm in having a trial! if it decends into a drivel or CarAdvice finds it too hard to maintain, get rid of it- no harm no foul

I guess cause 97 % of people that view the site don’t comment! I think if it was dedicated to a Forum then more would feel inclined to have a say……they clearly are watching but why not comment??

Lets just watch this site grow………after all how many other sites will allow such a diverse range of cars to discuss?? None!! Alborz is on a good thing………lets keep it growing!! Have you seen the sites results over the last 12 months on “about us’?? Growing and growing!!I dont like change but I do like opportunity when it comes a knocking!! TAP,TAP,TAP!!

yes yes true but i just felt it was being used like a forum now.
whats the point of having both?

yes maybe a trial might be good like anything to see how it goes.
the V8 supercars conversation is a good eg missile. it is very relevant to what we come to read about yet no designated space.

but i cant help but feel these conversations will still grow in certain articles’s posts

Why wouldn’t you want a real Forum??????? Have you seen how many people go on to Ford Forums????? Its moderated really well……..thats all you need,some of those blogs get thousands of posts………thats good for your ratings as a site and that makes money!!! Nothing wrong with chitt chatt Andrew!At the moment we cant go off topic ! We need to be able to start new blogs on subjects….. if you cant then the Chitt Chatt arises,look at us talking about V8 Supercars……..no spot available to discuss here at the moment except for where you bring it up!Moderators will stop the abuse so I wouldn’t worry about any abuse!!This site already gets idiots coming on and mimicking others………Caradvice is ready to grow……..and a Forum will help it on its way! I agree with Grumps………….give it a trial……..Alborz isn’t an idiot if he deems it as unsuccessful then we just go back to where we were!!!!!

nah this set up is unique and easy.
i also reckon the forums will fill up with crap. maybe just moderate the posts a little more closely to get rid of the personal chit chat that is a country mile off the topic.
i dont have a problem with the biased comments that frequent the site (they are fun to read and respond to) but once they become abusive they should be cut
