| I agree with Martin H, I think its a real shame that the club has descended into cat fights and ego bashing diatribes,it was really good when it started up, though it has possibly become the monster it was trying to escape from in the DOC.
Maybe it'll ressurect itself in the future,unlike martin I doubt whether I'll rejoin as I get all I need from the contacts through DuN and the focus of the Dsc seems to have moved to trackdays and racing.
I'll still use this site as a source of information,though to be brutally honest its much less useful now than it has been in the past as the main postings of the site seem to be caught up in the petty personalities that overwhelm the day to day posts.Whats also a shame is that the people leaving seem to be the ones who have been here the longest.
Whether you believe the often stated fact that most Dsc members dont use this site ,(I find that hard to believe myself) this is the way most people will encounter the club initially and the impression given now is not the same as the exuberant,enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable feeling I got from this site in 2001 when I first joined. There are probably many reasons for this and its not worth debating these here,but I do thing the club need to do something to address these issues before it irrevocably damages itself and fades away.
I do hope all of these problems are solvable, but at what cost to the current memebership? |
