i'm doing my part. everyone, tell your friends and enemies alike to come over here

[red900ss]

Is it locked already? What about a sticky post in the Oz section directing people here?

Even if it's locked I'm sure the Kiwis wouldn't mind posting a redirect.

Meggala, you seem to be on good terms with them. Any chance of asking?

[two40]

dino, it gets locked on the 1st of June as far as i know.

anyone, correct me if i'm wrong

[red900ss]

Must be my server or something as I can't even read posts on SDU atm...

[two40]

try this link it goes to the Australia section it might work for you

[Grim]

I haven't heard any mention of SDU closing for non-paying members. There are no announcements on the board saying so.

[two40]

remember a little while ago when the forum shut down over the weekend when it got a bit heated. yeah, well they decided in one of their meetings that they would only let ppl post if and when they donate a minimum of $20 to weed out the whores from the rest.

Hmm thats too bad eh

Kinda defeats the purpose of a pulic forum if u have to pay huh?

well looks like we got the cream of the crop here so far.

Nice and friendly like 8)

I've put a note and a link to the forums here in a sticky note in the forums I moderate over on the SDU site.

I personally don't like the idea of the SDU forums being closed to non-members and I don't pretend to understand why that decision was made. I'm not in the exec and I guess I don't hold any sway.

I can only hope that once the Australian Skyline club gets going, we can work together again. I for one, will continue to follow these forums and the development of the Australian club with interest.

Cheers,

Graeme

Totally agree with ya Graeme. Its a stupid move and it is gonna be detrimental to the club in general over there. The people in charge seem to be on a bit of a power trip, I spoke out and got banned for it.

As for a permenent link to your forums, send an email to Brendon Moses, [email protected] he is more than happy to put up links to other club websites and bulletin boards. He has offered to put links to the new club I am in, even tho it only spawned out of a few of us being banned from the SDU site.

Good luck with the future of your club and I hope it all works out in the end.

I was wondering why we suddenly had so many new members on here today!! haha

And I do remember seeing an announcement about the fee thing. I thought it might have just been an idle threat....ie, if things settled down after they'd gotten rid of general discussions etc....they might have decided to not introduce it. Guess not. :roll:

[two40]

kind of a good thing for us ay shell.

it's given us that push we needed. things were slowing down some recently

[Birty]

Not through lack of trying I assure you

[two40]

guys, by the looks of things they might not even close down. i think they might be worried of it going downhill judging from the reactions yesterday. i don't blame them
