I've been on EastsideVW a fair bit and yes,they can come across as a bunch of wankers,but it really is only one or two on there that has a detrimental effect on the whole site.
But they believe that they are there "for the banter and if you don't like it or can't take it then f**k off" being the motto... :stupid:
There used to be a fair few guys with knowledge on there,but I think they've been pissed off by the 'certain few' and are barely on there.
It is certainly one of the most clique riddled sites I've been on,but being primarily based in Aberdeenshire and most of the ones on there working in the oil industry,it's kind of understandable that there will be an old boys element in there....not to mention some of the cash being flashed by the standard of some of the motors in the members ride section. :surprised:

I enjoy it in here,but I feel that for whatever reason,it has become a little stale lately. :grin:

There will always be idiots, keyboard warriors and individuals on forums who believe theirs is the way and if you disagree they will personally (verbally) attack you and/or your opinions.

You will not be immune to banter, joking and piss taking on here but all in good fun and never with a nasty or vindictive slant.

There's a few on here who like to pontificate but even that has its amusement value. It's a great site, the best I'm on or have been on. You'll learn a lot about your car and make some good friends and spend more money that ever intended.

 :happy2:

Pontificate. Great word, my Dad used to use it a lot describing me!  :grin:

Well I was on the eastside forum vw till I spelt few words wrong on a advert  then others cheerped in being cheeky and right arrogant people saying ur spelling is wrong wow i spelt ur instead of your so I got them told no swearing to them tho

then admin no sorry as being corrected by email by them the mods  were even worse with language and attitude problems was unreal was ready to tell the fool what I thought of him  so I said here and tgtt uksc ukso and other forums treat me with respect and all that never had bad word to say :)

The eastside forum admin is the worst I have ever heard from disgusted ain't the word been on tons of forums and no bad experience till now :(

If u know and seen the comments till I asked to be taken of there forums there all just big kids with serious issues I hate there forum it was a joke anyways the way of selling was disgusting looked a right state of a forum full of clowns and over grown monkeys

Had little interest and low post counts so really not bothered

Love this forum just like tgtt and ukso

Got some ace info so far and parts and help

Keep up the gd work :-)



I understand you are not happy with the above mentioned forum, but we would  ask you not to  slag it off on here please. Part of what you perceive as being good about this place is the ( in general ) respectful nature to all. Your problem is a personal one with that forum and i dont see a benefit of you airing your grievances on here.
What other forums do, even if it is slagging off this place is there issue and nothing to do with here.  :happy2:
