Proposal - change Pistonheads to Dadsnet....

[ruggedscotty]

Is it still a car site or have we changed to the guys equivalent of mumsnet ? discuss.....

[spoodler]

I rarely venture into "General Gassing" - I can see why now...

[Monkeylegend]

It's a multi topic, multi cultural site, what's wrong with that?

As for PH, it's full of bks.

Was thinking the same earlier. There does seem to be a particular set of moral snowflakes who take pleasure in dissecting and arguing every post.

But calling it Dadnet will descriminate against non-Dad members and the PC crowd will close us down, while speeding to the finish.......

Not all men contributing here are dads, but all are/were sons, so why not sonsnet?

But then not all contributors here are sons, so why not sonsanddaughters.net?

Does net.net exist for fishermenpeople? What about hair.net for hairdressers? Is there a backofthe.net for football enthusiasts?

Questions.net.

What about mandatory profile pics which are verified as you.

In addition full house address - so if you do spout tosh or incite violence etc then BIB can be directed your way.

You don’t give that even for a passport so god knows why a website forum would require so much additional personal info OR to the point anyone stating anything the Mods have to fully review it incase it’s lies or stretching the truth as nooone ever lies in real life nor do they online. It’s highly amusing that when someone does lie online in a forum they clearly get more trolling that our MPs do which when you step back is barking mad + why do some posters clearly get so aggressive and abusive over things which make no difference + they would never do that face to face yet online gives them some sort of comfort blanket to be whoever you want to be or not.

Also giving even more personal info to the website goes challenges with regards to data protection and how they use that data. So I’d bet that Haymarket wouldn’t want anything over email address to create a user and be done with it.

Quite right. I had to boycott the local barbers shop until they changed the name from "Dads'n'Lads" to "DNL Hairdressers".

We cannot give any more personal info as it’s far too risky too many people online could easily steal your identity or link up to your house and pick up on the fact your on holiday... boom robbery

[davhill]

We're mostly men (excepting notable exceptions) and we're keen on tech and design, often old.

Steamspunk.net?

You missed a trick there WB, you could have said the 944 was nicked while you were away and saved yourself 5 years of abuse
