Mtorque Site

[cslbecks]

Sorry to mention a competing site but does anyone else have problems loading the Mtorque site?? I find it a real regular pain in the arse to try and load - ive been trying all day to get on it and it just wont load - happens a lot. Anyone else have similar issues with it???

[Andyk]

Yep, I have had problems in the past but not recently. I do find it slow to load though.

[E46ACS]

I can't register as I only have a hotmail & gmail email accounts, and it doesn't like either of them, so I thought bollox to them!

[Andyk]

I'm not a big fan of the site to be honest...got some good advice but they will cut your balls off if you even think about posting in the wrong forum. It's a very complex site......I like simple.

[SMD]

I cant get on, been trying today with no luck! :whistle:

[sailorbaz]

Can't get on either. big scandal! :butthead:

[GT TWO]

I find it more friendly over here. I reckon its because its only CSL owners and not a mixture.

[Andyk]

I would totaly agree with you on that one.

[DazBlackCSL]

Yeah it does seem to Kick Off quite a lot over there over nothing most of the time lol !!
Must be doing some maintenance to it or something ...

[cslbecks]

Ive never really liked the site to be honest and definitely find a lot of hostility over there - much friendlier over here!!!

[englebert]

Regularly down, couldn't get on it today either.

I think it is a bit hostile too actually, but nevertheless good if you need a quick answer on something.

[SpineOnABap]

Ive never really liked the site to be honest and definitely find a lot of hostility over there - much friendlier over here!!!

.. but surely most of the users (well, CSL ones) exist/post on both sites? Unless it's the 6-series people who are hostile, because they're having to drive those ugly cars :bigcry:

PS - yeah been down all day. Guess the owners not around to fix it

[RichW]

I presumed that most of us on here postover there too - i guess that isnt the case!


I find this site the more friendly, though has being said, Mtorque is goood for quick technical answers, though with time and better knowledge of the car hopefully i'll be able to input alittle more over here :smokin:

[M3ACS]

Problem with the site is the huge narrow mindness of some of the people!

Much friendlier over here :)

[SpineOnABap]

Over here we just have a few hundred users registered but not many regular posters - all CSL'ers (probably?). Over there we have nearly 10,000 users and hundreds, if not thousands of regular posters. The smaller community is always going to seem more friendly. There isn't really much trouble on mtorque given the size.

[Mark CSL]

It is good to see that you like this site


It was made after I was banned 3 times over there
with NO explanation why.

And yes if your question does not go on the right forum they can be a bit
stroppy also some are just stuck up Wankers ( Don’t get me started )
:hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha:


There are a few good members from there on here.

[SpineOnABap]

There are a few good members from there on here.

Just "a few"?

Bit harsh calling them stuck up wankers

[Andyk]

Was thinking that Mark but was trying to be a bit more diplomatic :whistle: ....Remember some poor chap asked for info on CSL merchandise...it would have been less painful for him to have been hung drawn and quartered than to face the 4 page abuse from the forum.

[Mark CSL]

Andy i dont mince my words :hahaha:

But yes i seen the post it is the admin i blame it is ok for a laugh but it gets out of hand, People use these sites for info and help and even Friends are made on them. If it is abuse they want go to work :hahaha:

So you're blaming Matt ... I'll point him this way and he'll ban you again :thumbs:

[Mark CSL]

SpineOnABap

How many times do you think they can ban me
:whistle: it is hard when you have NO IP :thumbs:

[windy]

You're just upset because people over there keep telling you your car's worth less than £20k aren't ya becks? :bigcry:

Nah, only kidding, I know you really want to go there to see what my response it to your fake Gruppe M scaremongering... :blalalala:

[NZ_M3]

I too post over there on occassions - but in all honesty I do agree that the folks on here a lot friendlier - perhaps the 'trouble makers' haven't found out about this site yet :blalalala:

[glendog74]

I can't register as I only have a hotmail & gmail email accounts, and it doesn't like either of them, so I thought bollox to them!

Ditto! Plus there's always 'handbags at dawn' over something on Mtorque, which i can't be arsed with... :smt075

Much more welcoming over here! :smt056

[SpineOnABap]

The requirement for a 'proper' ISP email address is a good thing, and is used by many forums (certainly a lot of the bigger ones) to limit 'trolling' - the idiots who register loads of hotmail addresses and use them to create multiple users to post crap. It's also another step towards blocking auto-registrations.
The vast majority of internet users do have an ISP address so it's not a 'problem'.

[SpineOnABap]

Come to think of it...

Out of curiosity - how do you actually end up NOT having an ISP address? Don't all ISPs give away at least one address when you sign-up, usually for free? I've experienced many since 1994 and they've all included that in the base packages. I remember even that first one back in '94 (Cityscape) included an email address.

[cslbecks]

Windy - you drive an M3 mate - this is a CSL register - enough said kiddo, yeh!!

[cslgirl]

This site is more friendly. I find its hard to get taken seriously being female and into the csl or cars generally. I have had a falling out or two on mtorque - I post sometimes but a lot less than what I used to. Matt has always been helpful to me though. There are some good guys there but also some a*holes.

[SpineOnABap]

There are some good guys there but also some a*holes.

Same everywhere really though isn't it, especially when a site grows to nearly 10,000 users. There will always be people who don't 'get on' (in forum terms, seeing as most of those people never meet)

Never thought you got any stick over there though (?)

That is right.

LOL, did you not see the sailfish picture I posted up? Upset a few people that did.

No, I don't get too much stick and I like banter (I am married to a fireman) - on the whole, its a good site

[windy]

Windy - you drive an M3 mate - this is a CSL register - enough said kiddo, yeh!!

Thanks dad :wanker:

[amar7274]

You asked for that buddy :whistle:

[cslbecks]

Thats ok kid, now f**k off back to Mtorque with your pimped out M3 where you belong :wanker:

[SpineOnABap]

LOL, did you not see the sailfish picture I posted up? Upset a few people that did.

Ah yes... wasn't it Tim who took kicked off for some reason?

[SpineOnABap]

This site's not very friendly! :bigcry:

[windy]

Looks like you took the bait old man. Such pompous snobbery is what I'd expect from a middle-aged chap - you're not a CSL-driving old dude now are you?

In the few months of M3 ownership I've already met a few lads who post on here, and they were all decent blokes, with fairly modified - 'pimped out' is the term I believe you old chaps use? - CSLs. I nearly bought a Gruppe M off one of them, though I'm sure you'd point out it was fake.

Obviously there's always one prize cvnt in every forum.

I'm off to have some fun in my pimped M3. See how I've ruined it by fitting an aux-in kit for my iPod (Google it dad)...

Indeed!! He who has leather seats... anyway, don't want to get back to that again..... I have closure :hahaha:

[cslbecks]

Trust me chav lad you wont be having anywhere near as much fun as i will in my CSL. Dont forget your burberry cap now!!! :wanker:

[SpineOnABap]

Yesterday you were saying how mtorque was hostile, now you're being hostile here. Are you one of the trouble-makers that someone mentioned? :hahaha:

[cslbecks]

Chav lad started it!!! :blalalala:

[windy]

Man from Essex calls man from Cheshire a chav. Hilarious.

Dude you're making yourself look a bit of a balloon here. As SOAB says, you moan about 'hostility' on forums, then have a pop at me for having a lowly M3, probably because I can't afford one. You know, after trading in my £40k Cayman S and picking up an M3 while I look for a 997? Chavs do that a lot.

Seriously, your CSL-pomposity is a touch embarrassing don't you think?

[Mark CSL]

Now Now Boys cam it or i shall get my :ban: Ing stick out :hahaha:

I have not used it yet ( You have been warned ) now kiss and make up :gayfight:

[the reverend]

And there's me thinking that the CSL Register is mellow, easy forum!
Mtorque does have the odd individual on there who consider their opinion to be extremely valuable.
Generally there are loads of nice folks on it but watch out if you post anything on there that they'll think devalues the CSL ethic.

Mtorque for me is good because it's busier but it's fun to watch folks light the blue touch paper and stand back!
Especially anyone who posts on the CSL forum there without actually owning one (how dare they!)

Windy - Don't take it personally, some people like winding others up. Not everyone with a CSL has a superiority complex, horses for courses and all that. And I certainly wouldn't bother justifying what I'm driving to anyone, let alone on a forum. :-)
They don't know you, so you could live in the car or in a mansion for all they know.

[Mark CSL]

This will make you all laugh I drive a rover 25 to work :thumbs:

Bike and a train..
Car stays in the garage.. I know it's sad but I know I'll just fret about it if I leave it at the train station every day.
The moment I feel it's safe enough to "unclench" some stroker will;
key/hit/breakinto/steal it.

[glendog74]

Out of curiosity - how do you actually end up NOT having an ISP address?

Sadly I live on a Navy base just now and have to pay to use a wireless network :smt012

Oh and I walk to work Mark! How quaint is that! :hahaha:

My service provider changes my ip all the time :whistle:
