ok i think the issue here is not so much that the post counts have been removed... that's not the problem...

there's a few problems that have lead to people either refusing to post, or not being bothered to post...

i'll just put some things down that ive been hearing from other people. i don't agree with all of them...

1. because there has been so much whinging going on here about the whores, and the amount of posts, to the point of people caring enough to have the boards changed to "club lounge" and "car discussion", i think some people just don't want to post in here if all they are going to get from the rest of the club is a mouthful of abuse for it...

2. some silver members (mainly the whoring ones), have gotten fed up with all this whining from non-silver members about their little club not being perfect and easy for them...

i agree with this: what right do you have to whinge and moan about a FREE forum/community? you didnt pay for it, so you're not losing anything if its not perfect... here's jason's analogy: someone gives you a free can of coke, but its not chilled... do you yell after him and abuse him for not refrigerating it for you? no. you don't.

i'm not saying that becuase we've donated my $40 to steve, silver members have a right to complain.. but go and read back on all this crap... its the non-silver non-whores that started it all...

dylan made a simple little thread about posts not being in the wrong section, and we took notice and stopped... BUT THEN, some of you had the nerve to come out and complain about ALL post whoring and tell us that its wrong in ANY thread... wonder why we have the sh!ts?

3. some of us have been busy, and its just come at the wrong time as far as the forum is concerned- just when everything changes... i know I have had alot of things come up, and i can name others who just dont have time to post up in here anymore...

that will do for now... you have to understand there are a number of reasons for not posting, and post count has nothing to do with it... but i think the general feel amongst the whores is that we were having fun doing our thing. we saw a complaint about doing it in the wrong section, and we seriously all said to each other (on msn and on here) that we should keep it to our whoring threads and the complaints just kept on coming...

I agree with some points and disagree with others.

Firstly, only SOME non-silver members were whinging. Look at the first 2 posts in this thread. My whinging is not to do with the overall forum, just the whorers who hijack genuine information threads.

The first post in this thread was from a self confessed whorer who is not a silver member who is cracking the woopys because his post count is now not going to increase.

Personally, I couldn't give 3 shades of dog sh!t whether people post whore or not, but I do give a damn when people whinge about the forum lacking feel when the only thing that has changed is that the threads have been split into 2 sections.

To those people I ask this question, if the person you share your house with takes half the food out of the pantry and puts it into a different cupboard, would you complain that the house has no food all of a sudden.

WAKE UP!!!! THE THREADS ARE STILL HERE KNUCKLEHEADS!!!!!!

Secondly, I take offence to the people (Silver Members) that continually harass and take cheap shots at the non-Silver Members about them making comments about the runnings of the board and that we have no right to complain as we don't contibute our $40.00....

This forum was set up as a free service providing an avenue for Toyota minded people to congregate and share information, and communicate with people of similar interests. If Steve’s intentions were that you can’t make a suggestion until you registered and paid money, then there would not be options for people to post information unless you paid.

Unfortunatly I am in a strict financial situation with my wife aiming at a specific financial goal and purchasing a silver membership is not high on the priority (just ask Silvabullit, I still owe him $70.00 for an air-filter)

Lets just all keep this calm.....like I said, I can't see a reason for anybody saying that they feel that this forum lacks 'feel' because of the split in thread sections other than the removal of post count.

I stand corrected if somebody can provide a valid alternative argument other than the post count issue, because all of your whoring threads are still here for you to whore away at....

First off, I agree with Azza on his views, but seeing as how he's commented about me I guess I should at least say something in my defense or at least clarify my point

My first post is a rant, the initial few lines can be read plainly at pointing to the cry babies who won't post happily in the club lounge due to the lack of the count.

the last line about the mods? hey, its a rant, if my opinion was that the mods could have done some thing better (go dig up my opinions on post whoring) then don't i have the right to say it?

lastly, I am not a whorer, look at my miniscule pos count in relation to how often i've been a member. i participate on these forums even now as a non-rolla owner because I do have a bit of fun here and from time to time can answer a few questions. (you all go buy chrome rims now ya hear?)

Azza, all respects to you (and mrs azza she who controls the modifications) but go easy on the labels, last I checked we've never talked on these forums, so lets start this friend ship on a good note eh?

Chrome ppl?

      Can I put a 2010 bumper on my 2008 Camry ?

      I have a 2008 Camry altise and recently damaged the front bumper and i'm wondering if I can fit a 2010 sportivo bumper on to replace it. It looks like it fits I know I will need to get new headlights for it to fit but do I need to do any modifications or will all the plastic clips and screws line up ?

      am2 fuse blowing

      Hello, i have a 1996 starlet The problem is when i turn the key the fuse blows, and i have been looking over the wiring and can’t find any shorts or damaged wire. The car would not crank over because of the fise blowing. I found out that if i disconnect the transponder key ecu the fuse is holding, but as soon as i connect the transponder the fuse blows. So i wonder if there is something I can try out? should i just buy a new transponder box or is it something else i could try? and is it not kinda wierd that the box is the problem? I have looked inside the box and cant see any corrosion in the box

      Toyota Celica '96 5S-FE no spark

      Hi everyone, I have spent too much time on my Celica and even my mechanic is stumped at figuring out the issue so any tips will be appreciated. Here is what has been done, immobiliser disbabled, distributor replaced, igniter replaced, EFI relay replaced, and EFI 15AMP fuse is not blown. I tried jumping E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port to try and get a code from the CEL but it doesn't light up, I think it might be burned out so I will have to get on that. I am now clueless about what to do next, it could be the ECU but I can't find any pointers too that.
