Not so much moving away as moved away:
totalMINI - the global community MINI forum
Check the post count since the site was setup compared with this one and you'll see what I mean. Everyone of any significance posts there now.
Mini torque
Check the post count of the Engine and Drivetrain forums compared with this one, as this is where all the people into tuning left and went to.

Unpleasent would of been using a very similar phrase, but frowned upon by this Forum, "Proof or STFU". Telling someone to shut up in general I agree isn't pleasent, however in the context of your posts and my replies it was fair and accurate thing to say.

Have you not looked at the photos? The number plate is removed for the track to ensure the central section gets even more air flow to it when it is needed. The top section gets air from the grill in the bonnet and the small grill in the front bumper. The rest of the cooler you can see as there isn't even a grill covering it up. Do you even own a MINI as you don't even need to take the bumper off to see how the air flows there you just lift up the bonnet.

The reason you have got mine (and other people who can't be bothered to post) is the manner in which you posted.
By your own admission you posted just to start a fight, and you expect people to be 'polite'. You have few posts to your name on this forum and you come on and start slating something with little to offer yourself. Your techinical knowledge maybe good, but its all very well reading things from text books until you actually have something of your own to offer keep your less than flattering, quiote frankly pointless comments to yourself, or work at rewording them, otherwise people will ignore anything thats worthwhile you have to offer.
I suggest if you join the other forums your more careful with your first posts if you want anyone to take any notice of you.
