Well there you go! It's out there....not my words.
Now it no longer being the 90s I got into the spirit of Yahoo Groups, I wound the crank up on my Windows 95 PC and after a 20 minute load I logged onto Yahoo. It was very much like an online trip to Beamish as I watched the brand new episodes of Friends on my new 32 inch Plasma TV which I bought especially for the Playstation 2 out later this year.
So after logging into Yahoo Groups (Hovis ad music playing in background) I came across this quote
but also I am slightly alarmed at the emergence of a few forums, one of which whilst seemingly well subscribed has an over zealous team of moderators who would not be out of place in the government of North Korea. They tend to keep discussion limited to what they wish to discuss and woe betide anyone who comes in with an opinion of their own. This is coupled with the latest generation of enthusiasts who seem hell bent on causing friction between the bus companies and the enthusiast community in general.
Eeh by gum I miss the old days

Ah Yes, moderation along the lines of Stalinist Russia lol
I'm glad this forum remains very lightly moderated.

Have BA been restricting oxygen on board their planes or have you taken the 007 link too far and overdone it on the Martinis?

Bit of both.....I did like my pod!
The above quoted text was from someone using 1990s favourite Yahoo Groups to have a go at this forum. Said group is run by a meerkat
It is a bit of a shame I think about the decline of the groups, there was always some knowledgable people on there. Some right plonkers as well, mind. At least some of the group members have made it on to here. The guy that made that post was always one of my favourite posters before the decline of the groups.
The moderating comment I thought was a bit ironic, as I often thought that the moderating policy of the groups was a bit over zealous at times but hey ho.
The constant rules emails...

Is it any surprise he doesn't like NEB? It is our complaints, after all, which made Go North East realise their mistake in regards to the lack of moderation on their Social Media pages. Poor sod is still distraught by it.
I have no doubt that the group of individuals who share the opinion as quoted above are the ones who claim NEB to be a 'fantasy island'. It is no competition; but I'd say this website, despite the great deal of speculation and rumours, is likely to hold the most well informed company representatives willing to share information to the enthusiast community. Coupled with the level of information on the forum, I'd say NEB is the only website to have such a vast array of resources for our members to use - news page, fleet lists with photos and a history for each vehicle tracking movements and repaints, and a photo sharing facility... With more new features planned to come when we reach our 500th member (expected to be later this month, with the amount of registrations as of late - 20+ in the past week?), NEB will only continue to grow and expand and be one of the best communities to be a part of.
Of course I'm going to have this opinion because I'm an over zealeous moderator and I'm a newer generation enthusiast, but it doesn't take a genius to work out how much time and effort has gone into designing features for this website.

I agree entirely but I was concerned when I found this picture of the NEB Admin Team meeting over the Christmas period

Damn, how did you find that?! Mr. Meerkat didn't leak it on his rather dated Yahoo group, did he?

That must be Liam. I'm still being referenced in the news a lot recently, what with it being 100 years since World War 1 (obviously linking in with World War 2).

That would be an ecumenical matter.
A good time to bump this thread again due to recent developments?

Forgot all about this thread!
Some developments in Pyongyang North East today as an amnesty is declared upon the posting of bus photographs previously deemed unsuitable and evil.
Presumably, as reports claim, this is part of the backlash against the ruling elite after one of the 'Dear Leaders' threatened to 'tell your parents' after they were criticised publically.
More news to follow as it arrives.
An interesting night in Pyongyang North East.
Sources on the ground are reporting a coup is taking place.
Could we see the fall of the Kim Dynasty...?
....And in other news, an Elvis sighting has also been reported in the city. If you have seen Elvis, please call our news hotline on 745-574-7455.

I got the inside scoop from my barber, and I’m told it could be the end of his Korea.

I wonder if Horden is zealously over-moderated just like this forum?
Apparently North Korea is undergoing a regime change as their self-appointed, self-reverent 'Dear Leader' has decided to take a leave of absence.
