if a chat option pops up, i personally wouldnt bother with it.

That's because you aren't an epic whore like some of us here. I'd say that's a 'good' quality to have :)

certainly wont hurt either me being the part time whore on here lol!

Why do we need either of those things on here???

Reasons for not having them:

Anti Blog:

1. This is not a myspace etc. As demonstrated yesterday - if people start blogging, they will abuse it. It will give people a space to write whatever they want for the sake of being an exhibitionist.

2. Moderators will then lose control of standards. If they choose to start moderating users personal blogs, then the whole point of a blog has been lost.

3. Anyone who is friends with anyone on here, probably already knows them in person, or at least has some external contact details. Personal conversations should remain personal - not broadcast on a public forum.

Anti Chatroom:

4. A chat room would limit the discussion only to users who were there at the time. People will get lazy and stop posting constructive messages for all to respond to.

5. A chat room is 'live'. Moderators cannot be present at all times - again, as demonstrated yesterday, some people just love posting whatever they want without prior consideration. Without a moderator, a hectic chatroom will turn into a fight full of:

"omgomglolololz STFU if you dont like STFU leave her alone, helllooooo why wont anyone talk to me, STFU" etc etc

6. Newbies will completely avoid posting messages, and therefore avoid formal flaming. You cannot control so many people at any one time - leaving the chat room open to constant attacks from noobs wanting to sell goods or get 'sik info on turboz' etc.

No Blog, No Chat Room. Keep this place objective :angry:

a chat room will allow quicker access to questions and discussions..however I am sort of liking the old forum+posting format as the answers will be more specific and most likely have mature responses.

tough one...

however, I dont know..Iam happy either way lol.....just see what happens

The 'Search' button is the most under-rated function of the entire forum. :toast:

If I can't find the info that I wanted for the Goose, then I'd post. If I knew that the topic had been touched on a little bit before, I'd PM the member who may have an idea and hopefully they would point me in the right direction.

what about if the chat room opened at certain times? chat fest for a few hours! not a 24 hour thing.

I have ran chat rooms before, they are successful if set for certain evenings, it a good laugh.

I am also looking into a Wiki so that all the useful stuff will get archived in the wiki such as How to's and tips.

I know i promised this lot a while ago but i still have serious internet issues and awaiting a new cable to be laid through my garden. I need to ensure my net access is reliable as i have to upgrade the boards first, then blog, gallery update.. with these issues, if it messes up halfway then could have some issues with the forum software and be messy. Plus i am getting such poor upload speeds its crazy.

So I will probably try and do most in one day over a weekend when i have time to be around to fix any issues.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      Well, new tyres, a proper wheel balance seems to have done about 90% of the trick - the car now drives like it once did. The only thing is that a wheel bearing was called out as "completely stuffed" and as it is so bad, the only way to fix due to wear on the knuckle is to replace the whole thing. Quoted $600 for the repair and no parts for this until mid next week. Once this is replaced I will update if back to 100% or still more problems. I was thinking that the aftermarket CV shafts could be to blame - very glad this turned out not to be the case.

      New to Toyota - 2005 Corolla Sportivo!

      Long time no update. In all honesty, not an awful lot to update on. Life has been super busy and inbetween life, I get a chance here and there to clean the beast and also arrange for the usual 5000 km oil change. The car is showing it's age with more noticeable paint fade on the roof. After some time I've decided to order the parts to fix my slow power steering leak. After receiving the quote from Toyota, I was able to get the parts from overseas for not even a 1/3 of the cost it would've cost me to order here. The parts are due here in 2-3 weeks and I'm thinking of getting this done with the major service which will be due later this year at some point seenig as the car is quickly approaching 293000 kms this month. Other than that, I'm still enjoying driving the car and the money spent late last year was well worth it.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      I've noticed the same issue after changing the front shocks from OEM to KYB - and while I don't think the shocks are to blame, it could be that there's been an issue which the old shocks covered up by not working at all after 230,000kms. I've also changed the CV joints in mine, replaced the front suspension bushings; hoping that a wheel alignment and new tyres helps this - will post back in the morning the result. Adam,
