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.

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


Eeh by gum I miss the old days

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

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.

Sources on the ground are reporting a coup is taking place.

Could we see the fall of the Kim Dynasty...?
