It seems the more chat there is the more fighting there is.

I'm not sure if you all realise this or not but behind the scenes at SAU there are discussions about getting rid of every single whore thread. If the online social side of things is not pleasant then it may just disappear altogether.

Please think before you post.

I clearly warned all of those who frequent the whore threads that if there was any repeat of the bitching, that the whore threads would go, permanently.

I was not kidding, and it seems too many people simply don't listen.

Unfortunately, actions speak louder than words so the whore threads of NSW will now be closed indefinately.

Those of you whose actions have brought this on know who you are, so perhaps you can explain to the other more mature members why the chat threads are no longer.

I'd like to know why people from places like the central coast, newcastle, south coast, hornsby etc are being punished for sh!t that goes on in other threads??? Nothing to do with us.....

Hardly fair....

Yeap thats true! I apologise for my childishness! Some things just bring out the worst and stupid in me!! I have already decided that my last comments will be just that.. the last! I am here to enjoy my car and meet new enthusiasts and to generally have a good time! I don't want all the crap going around to affect any of this.

that is all :rofl:

I think that the argument that came around thismorning was resolved by the people that started it and everyone shouldnt be punished for it. The fact that it was resolved shows alot more matturity than what has been around as of late.

just my 2 cents.

this all very well to close them down, but i know from experience its mainly happening in the whoretown thread not all the whore thread like central coast and such. but i think this will settle it down.

The bottom line is the whore threads have caused problems from the start, are a waste of space, and are nothing but pages of worthless crap.

I agree with Sam and others, it is unfair, especially on those who haven't acted like complete tools, but everyone was warned and those involved were told that if they didn't cut it out once and for all, the threads would go, thereby affecting many others.

Personally, I think that while its all good and well to want to talk to your friends all day, there are more appropriate chat mediums around to facilitate this, a forum isn't one of them.

Lifes not fair Tinks =(

Hopefully this will be a temporary thing and soon we can get our forums back, but if its permanent its kind of removing the reason I joined SAU, to chat with and organise meets with others from Newcastle (and the surrounding areas).

i to agree with this to, and i think that having this privilage removed will wake everybody up, and that those who have lead to this will now hopefully have more respect for the forum and its users

I agree, there are far more appropriate methods of talking to friends all day long, but in my experience (which is mainly the Newcastle thread) the members using it were more using it as a bulletin board rather than pages and pages of random chatter.

Will there be any system implemented to replace these threads? Perhaps a "one post per time limit" sort of deal (i know it would be a pain in the butt to implement, but it would be nice to get the community feel back).

And I do understand why they were banned and can accept and support the decision to stop them for the reasons the admins have mentioned above, but as Tinks said...what about the rest of us who werent abusing the service or others?

i go out to get a haircut and all shit breaks loose?

come on guys... i wasn't even gone that long >_<

on a more mature note: im not so sure losing the area threads is a great idea... i met pretty much everyone through those threads, heard about pretty much every event i went to, and was almost literally my doorway to SAU...

i introduced myself and was welcome with open arms... it made me stay, and now i am a paying member, have helped at several events and am always putting my name down to help on more events...

what about other new people? where do they go? do we have a new member make a thread about themselves every time?

anyway, moderating a forum is hard enough (I should know)... moderating this one would be impossible... doing a great job guys, making the tough calls :)

I second that.. Being on the SAU forums as a big time reader, not much of a poster, starting hanging around the central cost thread and got welcomed by some really friendly people and also starting chatting with members :)

Maybe I didnt communicate what I meant very well, but the above two posters have done so.

Removing the local threads removes the "community" feel of the boards.

Will there be any thought into providing a similar feature on SAU itself, or should we just kiss it goodbye?

As a side note: If you're from Newcastle - hit me with a PM so i can add you to friends

Long time listener, first time caller.. Lol..

That is true, and I don't disagree. I just wanted to add though that most chat/IM programs are blocked at workplaces - even SAU is blocked at my school (along with most URLs with the word /forum/ in it). Therefore hence the ease of accessing a webpage (forum) and communicating on all that.

Im just gonna leave it at that. Just wanted to add my 2c

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
