because they were requested by other drivers / staff

I see the posts for Frankiefresh and DiscoverOsris but the names in the sheet don't match up, are staff able to request their numbers w/o posting in this thread?

Staff could yes,

It's all calculated, I get that, and you guys have the right to reserve judgement, but we both raced throughout the TCC in 2016 and intend on racing in the next season of TCC when it comes back as it is the only series we can really manage at the moment. Also, pretty long standing members if I do say so myself

Ill be keeping 13, just awaiting the next TCC to sign up. Raced in the Production GT recently when work permitted.

Believe Richy posted for me as per the above due to work commiments, can aeee he has kept his?

Requested Number:13 keeping current number

Unfortunately number 13 has already been re-assigned, you weren't on the forum since 26th July and haven't raced in the last 3 or more months so therefore your number was put into pending deletion, when it hit 8pm, you still hadn't replied so were removed from the doc, if you disagree with this then you will have to take this higher and speak with Matt.

I don't log on often no as there wasn't something that interested me series wise - I keep an eye on things but don't log on generally as i'm at work however Richy keeps me up to date with most goings on - i see he has kept his number no issues at all even though i've raced more recently.

Massively disappointing that given my input into making TORA what it has become ultimately means nothing as I become a gentlemen driver wanting to log on a race when there is something that interests me and I can commit time.

I spent years of my life pouring time into TORA (I was a staff member from 2006 well before these forums were created) - creating race series, running whole seasons, managed the forums, even drove from the north of Scotland several times to man stands at shows etc at huge personal cost to myself - very disappointing to be 'brushed' over to say the least.

Requesting 53 again. Did it earlier and it changed my current number (423) from pending deletion to exists. Just wondering if there is an issue or if im doing something wrong. Thanks

Technically, there is nothing in the OP that says all individuals must post. I posted with both names before the deadline, hence the reply requirement was met.

This post covers a number of members who's numbers were requested to be saved, without even filling in the required template.

Ok, forum posts aside, not being allowed the option to retain a number based on a 3 month period is short considering some people may not race in all series i.e. TCC finished more than 3 months ago, we were active in that, patiently awaiting the next season to come up an unable to race in anything in between and told we are inactive through a calculation.

I've done this for years, I know how all the ins and outs of this works and why certain numbers are given to people and why their choices take precedent. The person who has the number 13 now is a new staff member and is active, he wanted it, hence it was removed from an older member and given to him. Staff always get their pick of the numbers. Plus, BigBen0913 hasn't even posted in this thread to claim his number at all.

But hey, it's your decision at the end of the day and it's a big undertaking to do such a drastic clearout, but I'm just pointing out a few loose ends and inconsistencies

It's nothing personal, to be fair, if Matt, or anyone else hadn't been on the forums in 5-6 month then I'd do exactly the same to their number. I can't possibly keep track of every members activity so the most logical way to deal with it was basing it from the data I had access to, and looking at that you were more than inactive. This process was done and agreed by all staff to be the most fair way of doing it.

I'm not wanting to argue or start a war over this, but if you look at the drivers you quoted above, I didn't mark those as safe, they're provisional, meaning they can keep them only if no-one else requests to change to that number,

the thing regarding the last 3 month was decided on a while ago and nobody complained when it was put live so we left it.

Staff don't need to post here because they can update the docs themselves so therefore posting would be a pointless exercise.

Just to clarify the number 13 was still pending a reply from Ian at 20.20 GMT and this is the reason I applied for it as it was pending .
But now reading through here it seems a staff member has just taken it without application or even noted that someone has applied before he takes it ? Sorry that is poor form from staff .
