    I am still not even 30 but offered to wait till I am 30 to officially join after all the mascot degrouping happened. And you guys were adamant that I stay in the gang. I think the 30 rule should still stick tbh. It is after all Over The Hill Gang for a reason. It's just right but I won't forget what exceptions you made for me, and heck even Fin too. We aren't going anywhere either but I think Blaze is real mature and I think he could be another exception too and I talk to him now and then and I feel he can be trusted to be a part of the gang.

    I've always felt the age should be lower myself. 25 plus maybe? But eh I'm not in charge.

    Of course not. Like has been said though, there are occasions when the rules can be bent a little. It's not as if he's a known trouble causer or a complete tool. Quite the opposite, and appears as mature as most of us old farts.

    If you had we wouldn't have Nov, Shakes, and a fair few others probably.

    No, it's your gang. However, you chose co-leaders and you always encourage discussion/debate amongst the group. This trait is admirable.

    You have Boss, and you've done a remarkable job keeping things together.

    If you don't want co-leaders Boss, then that is entirely up to yourself. You always encouraged us to speak up and speak our minds. We can't always all agree on everything but life would be pretty boring if everyone felt the same way about everything all the time.

    You're going to get the odd bad egg from time to time, regardless of the age thing. Think I can work out the two you singled out.

    You have a point there. I wouldn't say we blew up though. No drama, just a few who happened to support his request.

    Yes. Again you're right. I do not see the problem though if half the group are happy with him joining, and him being a highly respected member of our community.

    Yes, we've been here before. Numerous occasions. A member of the French community wanted to join and wasn't allowed in. I don't think this age ******** washes with me at times. I have a lot of good friends in the Trials community, a lot of those are under 30. I don't care if you're 20, 30, or in Sir Baz's case, 70. Guess I don't belong here.

    No drama, and again, it's the core of the group who have spoken up, some who have been around forever. I would love it if the FIFTY! Members of the group (plus PS4) would chime in on occasion, but unfortunately that's not going to happen. Ever.
    Not being rebellious or antagonising. Just speaking up for someone who I don't believe would create undue problems for the group.

    Anyways, I've said my piece. I'll hand over control of the group. It's like Kindergarten in here at times, and we're supposed to be the OTHG?

    You know something? It just takes one comment from our delightfully lovable Scottish rogue and everything is alright in my world.

    My apologise for my earlier post. I definitely over reacted..

    Hope this gets resolved ASAP.. We are a team after all, and my absolute respect goes out to everyone from my point.

    You should have brought some duct tape as well lol

    Hope noone is genuinely upset guys. It's just a discussion. It's impossible for everyone to have the same viewpoints. Conflict is a part of life - unless you live in isolation - how one learns to deal with it forges the type of people we end up being. Hope everyone can be more tolerant of eachother and deal with this is a more calm and understanding manner. D2's philosophical tip of the day.

    xxxooo

    Hey Gang.
    I couldn't log-in for love nor money yesterday... (Probably a good). But seeing as Joe took the time to single out my "Raising the clubs profile" comment, I figured it take the time to respond.
    So with tongue firmly in cheek I'll say... Dude!! Have you even switched Fusion in the last few months? If so, you couldn't of failed to notice those four big OTHG letters emblazoned all over the in-game community hub. OTHG Community Picks, OTHG Community Spotlighs, multiple OTHG Tournies etc... Not to mention an overall shift towards Fusion becoming a more community focused game generally. Would you also like us all to stop putting OTHG eggs into tracks too, in case anyone happens upon them, & sharing screenshots of their finds? Haha.... If it's just a handful of people not communicating with each other that you'd prefer, then you've already got that by virtue of being on PS4.... XD
    (@Joe... Feel free to ignore the above... Or not... No skin off my nose either way)

    That aside, I'm really seeing no drama here. (Other than BoBo's latest tantrum).
    All I see is pretty much everyone agreeing that the age limit should stay, but we should make an exception in special cases if everyone's in agreement. Simple.

    Old folk resistant to change? Who knew?! XD

    Sorry for being the catalyst to the last 3 pages gang. Some say to me I have nothing to apologise for but Directly or Indirectly It all stemmed from my actions.

    I am more then happy to be an unofficial member for now and reopen the talks in 2 years time.

    I have no desire to see loggerheads or disagreements or potential fall outs arise from my actions.

    For now I say let's leave it and put one foot behind us with the last few pages and the other firmly footed looking to the future.

    Jedi, it was more a general quoting of the profile raising talk I've seen since Fusion dropped and the OTHG doors got flung open, wasn't really supposed to be a dig at you but I can see why you've taken it that way. I'll apologise and consider myself lucky you couldn't log in all day yesterday huh

    Blaze, you've nothing to apologise for man
