STEALTH TURN AROUND BABY!

Dann,I apologize for addressing you by your name. Since I'm speaking on behalf of TPM, I'm trying not to bring opinion into this, but I'm sorry my posts aren't casual enough for you.As designs go, hours go into the development of designs, to come up with the best possible style. However I will look at the old stylings, and see if anything could be included in future updates.

Gary,I don't think you're taking cheap shots! We may not 'be an ATA' but we do think we run up pretty well against other THORPE guides / sites out there. We do make some money out of TPM via donations and sponsorship from Attractiontix, but it goes straight back into the site (Hosting, Forum Updates).We would love to post more news, but not all of the team are too keen on the idea of smaller news, but it will be discussed. I also wanted to start a Thorpe Blog, for rumours, general Thorpe things, big or small, but again it's something the team are yet to agree fully on. I would talk to Marc about that.

Dann,We all have our personal opinions. If you'd like to point out why, perhaps we can try improve our current one for future updates to TPM. We believe the current TPM design serves its purpose of displaying our content in a clean, and easy to navigate way. Thanks.

Gary,We think ATA is an excellent, site, and we strive to be as content 'rich' as them, such as history ( http://www.thorpeparkmania.co.uk/page/past ). However we believe our guides are just as useful as theirs. If you would like to point out what ATA does better than us, feel free, we always welcome criticism / suggestions. Thanks.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnn,I wouldn't say the site is over the top at all, it features all the content from years back, but with a few new additional features. The site isn't all about audio, it's just one of our features. Our main aim is to bring a useful and informative guide to Thorpe, which I believe we deliver. If you care to explain what is over the top about the whole thing, that would be great.Also, at this time, there isn't much to update, as we are limited to what Thorpe actually do, which is why we're expanding out to cover other parks. http://2009coaster.maniahub.com/?page=construction Additionally we have also started a 2009 construction diary. On top of that we also aim to bring something new to the site every friday, be that audio, video, guide improvements or what ever. http://tpmversion4.maniahub.com/ If errors are your thing, then you can always use the old Thorpe Park Mania, 'back then'.Hope this clears anything up.

I cant login too. Hmpf.

Has anyone else been having MSN issues last few days?

You don't. Seriously, I would be careful about it, and not tell them until your ready, and a 100% confident in your choice. Parents can sometimes go weird about it, not entirely sure why, but then again some are fine with it. It depends who you speak too.

Photoshop is for PHOTOS. Fireworks is for Web Graphics. Fireworks is far more friendly than photoshop.

Either that or you connected to Thorpe Park Mania in strange ways.

Happy Birthday Kabz!

I see they got the Nemesis Inferno Misters working again?

Omg QUICKEYS A MAC USER! I love him already, who ever you are (Y).

Happy Birthday all! Especially you Mr Cringle, was meant to wish you it before I went away, but hay! Better late then never

I HATH RETURNED FROM THE TOWERS. Miss me? TPM still here, this pleases me.

Why stop posting on a whole forum because of how one member is acting off the board. Seems silly.

I'm up for an Alton Towers meet.

I also have some pics on Flickr from yesterday.http://www.flickr.com/photos/23741842@N02/...57603924768543/

I agree with Dann, just make it a f**king rave and be done with it. GLOW STICKS AND FLASHING LIGHTS PLEASE.
