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...

how do i go about donating?

never mind just worked it out :O

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

Cheers

good man ceffie. :O

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.

i havent donated and prob wont .but if it was a subscription every 12 months for a nominal amount i would pay . i still think gambling banners are tacky tho esp as there are under age people that use the site just my 2 cents worth

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 can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
