It seems a few people are wandering away from what I see and value about this forum. One of the great things about it is the sharing of information and experiences. If I have a bad experience with a van or park or place I would like to feel free to share that as wellas the good ones. I know we all have opinions, but when someone highlights their problem I see no reason to put them down, if I don't value their comment or I have nothing of value to add I don't. I must say I am an avid reader of all sections and it makes me feel a part of a community that I respect. Thanks for reading I don't often put in. Bru

Yes we should be able to post , We are heading from sydney to Longreach via windorah can anyone tell me what the road conditions are like. And good things to look out for . Without someone going off topic and the question getting lost in some other story , all though not happening so much lately .I see the forum has a place to find out information about life on the road , If people want to have a personal conversation they should use the PM to do so . I don't need to know Fred had a good happy hour with George and Margaret at Coffee Club . Now I will watch out for the spears .

I was just about to start my own thread, don't need to now. I will carry on from your excellent post Bru.
What is happening here? It seems a few have come on to this forum to deliberately stir. It's easy to see who they are but I can't understand why they find it necessary to do this.
This forum is for chatting, sharing information and asking questions with the hope of getting some helpful answers, so lets get back to it, lets stop the snapping and down putting of others posts. We are all here for the same reason except for a select few who seem to have fun destroying a great forum.

Come on people! Cindy has already closed a thread along similar lines, why persist in labouring the point?
This is quite a liberal forum, people get away with things here that wouldn't be tolerated elsewhere.
Instead of whinging, why not get to work making a few positive posts? may even get you off on the right foot for the new year.
Anyone can criticise and destroy, it takes a stronger personality to make a positive contribution.
Best wishes to all for 2016.
May the positive force be with you.

Agree with HW,,, we can see who they are AGAIN. Do we wait for a heap of good members to go AGAIN to the next forum or have our say????
I think we all know some of those who left and this forum hasn't been the same since, which is unfortunate.
