Downtime Today (29th July 2009)

[JJay]

And just another silly stat - the For Sale area's as a total, have over 1,000,000 views a month.

exactly, this forum has just become worthy of selling shit on it and not worth posting in other areas

purely because a mod will have something to say to moderate that post.

sorry but personally i think for such a small forum (50,000 users you say) compared to a large forum (boost or nissansilvia with over a million users) its way to over moderated.

a perfect example was my stolen threads being closed because you class it as spam.

sorry guys but i was NOT trying to sell anything and what you guys ended up doing was allowing theives to better get away with what they did in the other threads because i was not able to further inform anyone within those states of my stolen parts to which you told them to refer back to the qld area. ffs, a majority of wa ppl or sa ppl or nsw/vic ppl wont even touch the qld area cause its not any of there interest therefore, not having a thread or a open thread to which i bumped every now and then as a reminder allowed those theives to sell the gear in other states if they wanted to because no one knew they were buying stolen goods.

either way, end of the day the manifold was found being sold on boost and a person on boost saw my stolen thread and linked me to the sale thread.

funny how bumping a thread allowing everyone within that state to see the stolen thread help lead me to the stolen part.

you guys want to heavily moderate a forum, you wont have the user base for businesses to forsee a reason to advertise on here because you'll just drive those users off to another forum and if it means going back to boost, they'll do that.

right now, your biggest competitor apart from boost is nissansilvia with his subforum sections for skylines and gtroc.

within my business management skills and work i do on a daily bases, i can see alot of people dropping off here and going else where.

its exactly like a ISP... you get poor service from the helpdesk or dont receive what you expect you go else where.

on here, you get over moderated, ppl will head to another forum.

i cant help you guys see it any other way but if you want to be close minded about all this, so be it, i cant help any further.

Of course you think its over moderated

You've been warned and suspended twice in the last 8 months, for a total over over 30 days because you can't stop attacking people.

You've also been banned what, 10 maybe 15 times over the past 3 years and made various legal 'threats' towards SAU.

I can understand you might be a little bitter... but see some sense please.

Our membership has increased over 100% in 2.5years.

Given our trader base is growing, membership base is growing, its clearly not a problem.

Most of the clubs have 200 odd members each as well.

Vic more than 350, i think WA and NSW are around 250-300, and now SA with ~25 but that will grow in time. Not sure where QLD is at present.

You are looking at things overall in a business sense - Far as i see it SAU does not see NS.Com/BC.com as a 'competitor'.

They cater for that community and group, we cater for ours.

It is not some competition between us, there is a lot of history between those 3 forums, a lot more than you probably realise (and i don't mean in a bad way).

ps. Hardtuned.net only has 50,000 registered users as well, a far cry from your claim of 1 million, and that means SAU actually has more

[W0rp3D]

Dont go on boostcruising much but when i do all i see is holden and for stuff so its not really in competition, and NS is full of 13yo idiots, which if the quote below is true then thats where you would fit right in.

At the end of the day what do you care who pays to be on these forums, its obvious that you love NS and BC and they are such good forums that they have everything you require so why dont you f**k off over there and stop posting up whining comments that make you look like a 13yo.

It's true alright, we keep a record of everything in the mod/admin area's.

why dont you f**k off over there and stop posting up whining comments that make you look like a 13yo.

That's kinda what we were hoping for after i think the 10th banning? Not sure, maybe it was the 9th come to think of it.

LOL

and lets look at the fact that what I produced for a forum out of my own pocket and what alot of people actually wanted, you guys shut down purely because of certain people who had there own input into it in the background.

you guys showed little to no remorse what someone actually did that no one else would get up off there arse and do when people have been wanting something for so long. kinda goes to show that the power gets to certain people's heads around here and goes on a power trip. i be sure that if you were to of done what i had of done you would of gone about it the same way to recoup the money back if not, made forum announcements and everything and used the forum to your advantage.

it's what broke the straw that saw sauqld move away from this mother site because of the banning towards club members to which were then no longer able to access a club area within the qld section on here to be able to see what they are entitled to see (events, club discussions, etc) as a paying member of the club.

you wanna bring what i did wrong publically, lets take a hard look at the moderators and administrators actions towards plenty of the shit that had happened.

i for one know very well about a certain moderator who posted fake msn logs in ur little secret mod/admin area on here about me apparently threatening to put him... 10 feet under ground was it?

give me a break seriously... fact you people beleived that bullshit just goes to show how well you's all stick together even when you know they are in the wrong and you continue to support there actions.

at the end of the day, i put forward my side of things to which many others saw everything that was given to prank and he decided to favour the side of his moderator purely for the fact that he doesn't like/want/allow moderators to look as though they are fighting amoungst each other in the background therefore supporting the liar within the group for the sake of a forums reputation.

care to discuss this more? not a problem.

2 sides to every story bud and you've only seen your little groups side of it all.

i still question where the f*k did my $1500 go that you guys helped so well in making sure i didnt get it back.

By the sounds of it your problems only concern you and the mods, as someone who does not know the details (as most of the ppl in this thread probably dont) all i see is some one who has decided to post there problem with the mod (of which i cant see a problem you are trying to resolve) in a thread that has no relevance and therefore makes you look like a dick, i can not see any gain for any one out of this apart from you having a whinge and making your self look like a dick, no doubt your right there is more to the situation but every one who is reading this thread know is what is here, and what is in this thread makes you look like a whingeing dick.

You seem to have a lot of problems with the mods, if they cause you that much trouble maybe you should just go else where, obviously there not giving an inch with this problem and neither are you which means nothing is going to be resolved any time soon, and to keep posting this stuff in threads like this is just going to make you look like a 13yo with nothing better to do.

LOL

again, you fail to see the main points that were raised in what i had posted therefore, you seem to look like a dick yourself.

much of this has been water under the bridge for a couple of years now, it was only whatever admin that raised the point bring it back to reaility in having to point out the stupidity they had done in the actions taken at that time.

all i did was raise the question in regards to the server physical hardware and then other shit started in regards to fudning for it, etc.

so go back and re-read through the thread who brought up the history of all this and lets see who looks like the dick then.

if the mods think they are doing things right, so let them continue on thinking that and see how far it gets them.

or

if the mods think they can TRY a differenent approach to things in different ways, lets see how far it can get them to making this a more successful forum then.

i'm not here to advise them on a business strategic plan but if they cant take negative feedback on actions they've taken to better help themselves in the future of the forum, then so be it.

end of the day... i'll turn around and call them arseholes and wankers for what they did, they'll turn around and call me a idiot and a dick for what i did.

the way the whole bullshit was handled was handled wrong and they jumped boat quicker then trying to come up with a resolution purely because a moderator was trying to sort something out with me and THEN another moderator jumped on the boat and decided to skim through the threads in the mod area and just apply a ban stick without finding out there where wheels in motion but the mods had to stand behind the mod who banned me so they didnt all look like a bunch of tools for what he did.

they're right, i'm wrong... i'm right, they're wrong.

this will never be proven because at the end of the way, the mod's rn't interested in anything that has to be said about the story anymore.

what i'd really like is an appology for there actions if they can see what they did was wrong and have my original account back otherwise life goes on i guess. LOL

[R31Nismoid]

You want an apology after all the bullshit you've put on us?

You wont get that, but you can have another banning. I was all for banning you last time you signed up.

C ya.

[Wacky Dee]

what's going on with the search ??? I'm ready to shoot that bloody SPHINX!!

Search works one day ..then few hours later, sphinx at it again. Then works again. Mmm ?

[Wacky Dee]

and to the dude above ...seriously man, it's a private forum/web site .. pull your head in a little. No one owes you jack shit. Hell I put up with less BS from my paying customers...

[daisu]

Search is playing up again...

[R31Nismoid]

ye, servers are outta sync again, same reason the time is wrong

[Wacky Dee]

set it to sync with an NTP server via cron ..I had this same issue with one of my servers until I did that.

eg. add this to your crontab:

0 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u au.pool.ntp.org > /dev/null 2>&1 && /sbin/hwclock --systohc
