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

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.
