I think a gold watch for long service and good conduct for Macgor is in order. percy put those short arms in those deep pockets and do the right thing. Mr Mac, throw in the moderating gig and come join the great unwashed hell raisers on this side of the fence. Seriously tho Mr Mac thank you for your efforts over the last nearly 20 years. Thru these boards I've meet many great ppl who I now consider good friends. I know you have had a few hassles and aggravations along the way but I hope you look back with fondness at what you achevied. You had social media sussed before socal media was a thing. I'm sure I join many others in offering a massive thanks for your efforts. |

Thanks ramjam its had its highs and lows but the fact its lasted so long suggests it has been filling a need.
Meeting and communicating with so many good people has been the most rewarding part of my foray into Speedway publishing on the web.
Must admit at times it took a strength of character that I didn't know I had lol.

Well done Macgor, on how many years has it been? A well earned and well deserved retirement.
Two questions though;
1/ what do we call you now?
2/ do we now call Percy, Macgor?

Barry B You'll have to ask the new boss what we are to be called. How long? 15 years for this particular board, about 23 or 24 years for me in total with the Macgor brand. |

A huge thank you Macgor for being brave to start a social media forum for us follow our beloved speedway.
You have been very strong with your rules and beliefs from day 1, say what you like but please no personalities to be aired on this forum and it is a rule that has seen threads deleted,a Macgor ticking off, posters banded but it is a standard to be applauded.
When this forum started i was still on windows 95, dial up connection and really floundering how to use this mod con.
Unlike the old blackboard at school, a duster removed the chalk to remove your mistakes, learning this wizardry sometimes trying to remove wording would accidently send the posting and a stern but fair reprimand would come from the captain.
While the younger set may of gone off to other social media outlets, Macgors has remained basically unchanged over all these years
and still the most popular and reliable source of our beloved sport.
I probably communicate more on here than i do with my wife but a huge thanks Macgor for giving us the privilege to use your forum to air our thoughts, disagree with other posters and most importantly stay informed with our speedway fix.
Enjoy your well over due retirement.

Kia ora Gordon, Well old fella thanks for your creativity in starting this fantastic forum. Here's some learnings for me during your time on this board: - that feeling where you have posted something and you think "oh oh I've blown that one". Your too scared to view your post and the reactions of others then days later you view it and it's not too bad! - that feeling where you have posted something and you think "oh oh I've blown that one" and eventually you view the reactions and yep you're blown it! - how to manage correction from the moderators who have deleted your post. You thought was an awesome post but they thought otherwise! - how to separate correction from your own rejection!  - making my mind my friend and not to take things personally - managing my anger - checking, then checking again, then again - before posting! Always been good catching up with you at the Valley of Paradise! Ma te Atua hei aroha manaaki ki a koe! |

Thank you, and all the best Gordon. This board has been a constant companion to me over more years than I can remember. I know that it is in good hands with Percy, but your contribution to all of us over the years by keeping it going and keeping it a steady ship in sometimes stormy waters is huge. If anyone from SNZ is listening, you deserve a gong of some sort mate.
