It has nothing to do with anality, it has everything to do with wanting to improve. I'm new, and i want to see how the changes that i make to my driving style, car setup, parts etc all make to my average laptime. I realise that the track changes every week, data can still be gleaned from this, you may not use it, but if 1 other person wants to use it, then its worthwhile. Just throwing this info in here as well... If you dont want to use it, dont use it. No one is trying to force you to use it...

I'm not disputing that, but its literally a 2 second job to add a forum, it adds virtually nothing to the size of the site and if nothing else, i can add a link to oople, which i was planning on doing anyways...

The champ night results are how we check our progress and they are already posted on the site.

Really? Want to show me a link to them, the last results i can see are from 2010... also, why does everyone who is, seem to like advertising the fact that they are committee members? Arent we all equal in the eyes of the club, or does being a committee member mean your ideas and abilities are more important than mine? Should you as a committee member be allowed to continue and do a job that someone else wants to do and could probably do better, just because of your status? I'm just asking here, dont take this as me being disrespectful to you, as a committee member...

I cant comment due to not being there, but since no one appears to have done anything, I figured that you either couldnt, or didnt have the time. Both of which i can help with.

That very insulting paragraph is missing a small statement, "in my opinion" Clearly i feel its necessary, otherwise i wouldnt have suggested it... Also, please dont take such a disrespectful tone about my abilities, you dont know me at all.

Would you like to show me where I've been insulting? Also show me where i've been trying to take over your website? I have skills which can be useful to new members progression, and also give the website a fresh new look. All i was trying to do was help, now you seem to be losing your cool, and over the internet no less.

If thats the way you wish to play it, then i have no choice but to simply go ahead and create the site anyways. You carry on and do what you were going to do before, even if i'm the only one who uses the site i'll create, i'll get the information I want, in the format I want. I just figured that if i have a skill and a desire to help out the other newer members, i should offer to help, since you appear to feel threatened by this, for some inexplicable reason, I'll leave you to do whatever it is that you have cooking.
