limited funding comes down to much of how the forum is setup, its moderators and how it betrays itself in comparison to other forums like boost and nissansilvia

Good thing we have the best moderators in the business. :)

The forum is setup excellently.

Its run to exist, not to profit (like boost cruising/NS.com).

There is a key difference it think you fail to comprehend. Loz makes quite a pretty penny out of NS.com each year... but im sure you already know that.

Im no saying this is the best forum feature wise, however i think the community here on SAU is arguably one of the best

Any idea how much longer it will be before the search function is back, the question i have may have been answered but i doubt it.

Oh bugger, it was back but is down again. ;)

I'll sort this out tomorrow (Sunday).

It was fixed an hour ago but now its down again.

The problem is that because we have 2 web servers, it is fixed on one but not the other, so it will work intermittently. Doesn't help when testing :happy:

ohh yeh, im aware of the pennies it makes for him each year, specially the parties he puts on at his place on the goldy every now and then :P

but the point to what prank would want to be doing is making the money to cover the cost to run this place instead of pulling dosh out of his families pocket every year.

i for one know of a few businesses here in qld that dont want anything to do with sau because of it's moderators and admins.

then again, some of them also dont want anything to do with arrogant skyline drivers just like we dont want anythin to do with ferrari drivers, am i right?

There are always going to be people who don't like us for whatever reason. We have been the reason behind a few branch-off forums like Skylines-NSW and others. At the end of the day you simply cannot please everybody no matter how hard you try and if those businesses dont want anything to do with us, then thats fine. Just means that we have more room for the businesses who do.

I used to almost lose sleep (literally) when people decided to leave because they didn't like the way things were run, these days I just let it happen and hope that the members who stay will give feedback and constructive criticism about how we can make it better for them.

Well we have over 50,000 registered users

I think roughly 20 businesses paying to advertise to that member base...

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

As C said, if there are some places, somewhere, who dont like SAU - good luck to them.

The traders we have here are all happy, a fair few have been paying regularly for 3-4 years and i get enquries about once a month from businesses and some come onboard, some do not.

So the forum without question exists and survives no problem there, but that is all it will do, exist and run. It's not going to make 50,000/year as that's not what SAU is about IMO. ;)

:) there doing the best they can in there private time.

they have lives outside of this to feed their family's, in there spare time they could be going out shooting pool, going to pubs. but when the shit hits the fan's as Mod's they stay in and fix the problem, so just sit back and be patient.

keep up the good work guys

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
