Vic Wasteland Thread

[xALmoN]

moderator hey? reminds me of irc.

[dezz]

LOL!

Nobody posts in there ever only the exclusive events which are rare anyway

thats exactly right, but the fact that the moderators wont expand their teams within the Club exec's is pretty poor form, its nothing against the club itself, but more the moderators running the show.

its a simple task, I'm sure that it doesnt have to go before Julia Gillard to grant moderator access to someone such as yourself, it probably doesnt need to go before anyone for that matter, and its a selfish act for the moderators to restrict members access to something they've payed for because they can't be bothered doing it.

There are plenty of people trustworthy enough in the commitee team ie, yourself toby Dan etc, that wouldn't walk around like Mad082 waving their banstick around to justify their ego.

nothing against the vic club, if it was I wouldntve renewed.

The truth

They make people like that complete and utter knob moderators, when he clearly has self esteem issues which make him more of a flog now that he has 'power'

Basically the less admins/moderators there are, the more important they all feel... Pretty sad really.

went looking for some jeans today..

the majority of places just have f**king 'slim' or 'skinny' jeans..

someone needs to hand out a memo about how gay they look

Gay is an understatement

opps, I just asked when my member access will be available and now a long discussion has started. My bad

By the sounds of things, I honestly thought sau vic was better than this?

^^ This!

Clearly needs to be addressed.

So you think its acceptable that having paid for membership to not have the access?

Member's section access isn't the mainstay of membership...you're not missing out on much, not at the moment anyway. Even if you don't have forum access yet, you can still get member benefits and go to exclusive events using your members card - something which we are directly responsible for and do stay on top of issuing. I'm not defending the lack of access, members should have it and promptly...we are trying all we can to sort it out...but it's outside of our control and a bit unfair for people to sledge SAU Vic over it, when it's an SAU issue.

[Birds]

On the side, guys, the club IS the members...that's all committee are...members who volunteer their time to help run the club. We aren't on a payroll and we don't think we're special or better than anyone (except Tony; arrogant shit). If you don't like something about your club, change it. I'm not saying "well you do a better job", but turn up to every event and make it something big/special, get fellow members along; make suggestions about what events you want to see happen and when - the events guys won't knock it back unless it's unfeasible.

We're part way through a revamp of SAU Vic at the moment; we're trying to make the membership more worthwhile. This value-adding includes rehashing our affiliates/sponsors - scrapping the old places that don't even recognise us anymore and getting some big name / commonly used businesses on board as supporters - Tony has been doing an awesome job of this and discount at one of these places alone will more than have the cost of membership paid for. The events guys are looking at doing some cool shit for us, we have some quality members-only merchandise on the way (e.g. jackets) and the rest of us are working to make the club more interactive so people know exactly what's going on at all times.

Alex is right when he says these cars aren't what they used to be. Half the club isn't even Skylines and there are very few paid membership clubs around these days for our demographic and type of car. The car scene isn't what it used to be and neither are the clubs. On top of this, our club isn't for everyone...if you don't feel you're getting anything from it, no one will blame you for not renewing or not joining in the first place. SAU Vic puts on DECA and motorsport events and for people like me, attending these alone are worth the cost of membership. But we are trying to add more to the club so that more people can get more out of it.

tl;dr: quit whinging, good things are on their way, give us a hand.

How many times do I have to say "nothing against SAU Vic, but against the particular mods" for u to understand I'm not sledging SAU Vic.. Seriously dude read what I wrote again.

I think the comitee are doing an excellent job with what resources you are given. But why does a moderator have to be so selfish and power hungry, that it effects the members?

Fair enough he does alot for SAU ie nationals etc. but why is it so hard for moderator access to be given to one of you, when it can be so easily given to that f**king deadshit mad082? Technically moh should be given access is marc has it.

And I've offered my help a countless amount of times and it goes unnoticed so what's the point?

Tl:dr;

Stop telling me I'm sledging SAU Vic when I'm clearly not. Give someone else in committee mod access. Get rid of Mad082. = happier SAU

Yeah, I've been looking at carsales in last couple of days, and have seen few 33r's for as much as 32r's, that makes 33r better value with added bits such as Brembos, faster attesta, newer/better chassis & motor.

I once thought about buying a Evo 5-6 before buying the purple 33r I had, I didn't like how lack of 'character' these Evos have, it's like you know it's faster, better handling etc but it doesn't give you that special feeling when you drive it (that's just me though).

Would like to buy myself a E46 M3 but couldn't justify the price they go for at the moment - $35-55k whereas in UK you can pick one up for $10-15k (try getting a M3 insured for reasonable price whilst on Australian licence though!).

hell yeah

looked at e46 m3

z4 35s

135

as really they the modern "skyline"

and even 34R are over priced

I'll be buying a good new car for the then wife, and a run around for me.

and so long as I can do most of the service myself a 33R is stupid cheap.

you can import one for well under 16

just over 20 for a good condition series 3 R

if I was doing massive km I prob would not hink it, but for around 5K km a year why not have a fun car!

[Count Grantleyish]

Honestly, with amount of 33r's on carsales at the moment, I wouldn't bother importing one. But if you don't mind waiting 3-4 months for one, go for it.

33r makes for a good daily driver and weekend tourer as long your missus doesn't over pack!

Well ya said this ya cock and it kind of implies problem ownership for the club:

So you think its acceptable that having paid for membership to not have the access?
