Yep, heard about this too.

I work for a hosting company as a product manager, and i thought of this idea..

Why dont we use a .htaccess file to detect if their IP Address is coming from know Bad IP's (i.e Police Headquarters) and set a rewrite rule to a page saying, "you are breaching T & C's of this forum, access denied." ??

I know its possible, ive done something similar myself, and would seem to prevent alot of heartache, and stop wasting tax payers money for some clown to sit infront of a computer all day surfing forums and eating donuts!

It would require identifying suspect accounts, and logging their access IP's, then we could also research where each states relevant police datacentres are located and block these IP's too.

Only way they could get around this is by using a proxy server i guess.

I guess its alot of effort, and still no way to 100% guarentee that they wont get access, but just an idea :P

id back you 100% ^^^^

Wow Great! Thanks for the support guys. :P

I can write the code for the .htaccess file and email it to one of the administrators to add to the current file.

I have no idea who i would email it to though when its done..? Any ideas guys? Also we would need people to contribute any known bad IP's.

Wow, i'd be surprised if the police were that pathetic. We keep hearing about the lack of police resources, surely they wouldn't be wasting their time looking at a forum for who has a pod filter. I'd be shocked and amazed...

Car modifiers/clubs/enthusiast are the scum of the earth. Their cars should be defected and owners treated like a scumbag criminal just for taking an interest in enhancing their car. They're as low as pedophiles and should have tax payer's money spent to have someone keep a watchful eye on everyone last one of them!

Your all a bunch of murderers and rapist.

Ahhh yep they do come on here for sure.

The cop at mallala actually actively goes on the R31 club forum (r31skylineclub.com) and answers questions and stuff as well as other forums too.

He does it in his own time but there is no reason that others wouldn't do the same.

I know a few of the gawler coppers as my g/f helps with blue light disco there... I reckon I know the pommie guy... usually a good bloke.

As above, I have about 3-4 mates on these forums that are police officers with imports...heck I even used to sponsor one. :(

I would say there are alot more that surf these forums especially nissansilvia.com being as it was the most viewed auto website for the last couple years etc.

Blocking access via .htaccess seems like a good idea, but I'd be against it. You cannot say for sure that all cops that visit these sites are bad and are out to get you. Discriminate much? I've heard of all the bad stories about defects and such but as pointed out above, theres some good people in there too!

I'd propose a flag to mark them as Cops instead of blocking access, why would they have a legitimite reason to say they aren't officers? Give the something like the [has donated] tag and that way it's good PR for them, they should be representing the force in a good way and if they aren't we shoot them down! Well maybe not literally :(

      On the hot side pipe work, or if you want to compensate for pressure loss from the IC, post intercooler on the cold side, pre-throttle

      They're notoriously difficult if you traverse forums... the 102TB and FAST102 are so bad that most people actively don't buy it unless they REALLY want that extra 1hp. The idle stuff isn't really that hard. The cam is pretty manageable and while it acts like a larger cam the whole car actually drives smoother than before. I like to just tinker so if I can get 50rpm less variance or rule out situations where it does 'unexpected' things it's fun for me. HOWEVER If you just let a tuner give it a guess for a couple of hours and had no way/desire to test and tweak it yourself you'd spend a lot of money at the tuner or be pretty frustrated, that's for sure. But yeah. Drives great. (then I drive partner's Civic Type R and I think.. well, more tweaking to do) But for what it is (cam, TB, intake, manual etc) it does commute around really great once you figure out how the idle tables and GM's systems intend to work.

      Where is the best location for boost pressure source when running mac 3port boost solenoid?  my new turbo does not have a fitting for that on the compressor housing.  how come Garrett make a turbo without that?  im confused

      From my memory, which isn't that great, we did have issues getting the large throttle body on my old LS1 to play nicely at idle, first it would stall, then it would only idle at 2k rpm, then it would hang at 2k rpm for a few seconds and then drop and stall, then, finally, the best we got was it would hang at 1.5k rpm for a few seconds then drop to around 800 rpm The tuner stated that large cable throttle bodies are a PITA, and if I wanted anything better than what we ended up with I would need a electronic throttle body and all of the aftermarket ECU stuff to run it
