at 8:40am on friday I noticed there was a poker banner add on the forums and wondered if it was supposed to be there.

it's the sort of add you would expect to be a pop up.

has it been hacked into the site? or are they a sponsor?

just curious as there are a lot of younger members on here.

Thanks!

Might try and see if I can get a couple of sponsors to help the site along.

I am not complaining, someone has to pay for this fantastic resource.

what are the costs involved in placing banner adds? I will try and drum up some advertisers.

pm me with details if possible :)

Cheers!

i personally would rather see banners from automotive area rather than gambling . i understand that it takes money to run these websites .but i find gambling banners a bit tacky myself

Yeah agreed, if it's an automotive site then all adverts should be automotive related. Not shitty gambling crap. What a sell out.

get a grip mate. if you want to pay the upkeep on the site and pay for the site owners time in running it then by all means enforce whatever banners you want. but saying it's a sell out is not that smart. so what if he didn't accept advertising offers from anything non-automotive? what if the automotive related advertising dried up? with costs being constant sooner or later the site owner would get pretty tired of paying out of pocket to run the forum. then the forum closes down. but hey, at least in your eyes he wouldn't be a sell out. that's what really counts. how about putting some money where your mouth is an making a donation? if more people donated there may not have been a need for any banner adds at all....something to think about.

Yep. very good point this is a great site and it's about time i donated...

I guess $25 ins't much but as Beer Baron said, if everyone here donated $25 we wouldn't have this problem.

oh, and just before anyone calls me a hypocrite I have dontated (twice) I just don't have the "made a donation" user bar as when it was applied it ballsed up my permissions :) but I didn't dontate for the user bar anyway. I dontated as a thank you to the forum.

I agree 100%. Point me in the right direction and i'll donate monthly. Then maybe it'd get rid of half the f*cktarts on the site that are here to bitch only. I think having a paid for 'community' would be awesome. Don't get me wrong, i'm nowhere near a freeloader, i don't mind paying for a service of quality.

Before I begin I will preface my post by acknowledging that have no personal grudge or interest in any gaming business.

I've seen some serious discussion here and I can definately see both sides. SAU is in my estimation the best forum of its kind bar non and I acknowledge that it takes real commitment and coin to keep it going. However, I'm concerned that the inclusion of a gaming operator as a site sponsor sends the wrong message. Like it or not we are connected to whomever we are sponsored by, we reflect the qualities of our sponsors and the sponsors gain from the reflection we cast on their business. What do we gain by this arrangement...besides money??? and what effect does this relationship have on our members and users. This sponsorship raises the question; do we need to start asking everybody to pony up some coin? Ask yourself are you willing to do that or are you happy to be sponsored by a gaming provider?

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
