Hello from the other side...

Hi all,

As former admin of The MOT Forum, I thought I should say a few words:

At the roll-out of MOT Computerisation in 2005, I was being asked by NT's from many local test stations for advice & assistance with computeristation issues.
I scoured the inter-web, but could find no discussion forum, so began to set up one of my own for all NTs & AEs, as well as for Joe Public & VOSA/Siemens people.

VOSA weren't interested in backing me despite my writing in to Matters of Testing & speaking at Seminars.

The MOT & AE publication shunned the whole idea - then went off & created a forum of their own!

I slowly emailed VTS's that I found email addresses for & built up a steady flow of members to the forum.


However, my spare time has been non-existent lately so I haven't had the time to monitor the forum as I would have liked.

There was an increase of bad-feeling on the forum around a certain member. I had hoped it would self-regulate.
But then after a stressful day at work last week, I hit the 'Forum Kill' button.

I do sorely regret closing it, but would be willing to offer any help I can here.

I can see my format was so good... You've copied many ideas here already!


Yours,
(Former) 'Admin', The MOT Forum.
