Whats needed is a firm idea of what we all want so we will all be happy with placing these on the car

Some would prefer vinyls and some would prefer self cling in the window.

I just do not want another site to make money from our logo... We do not want to make money on them. Obviously the company who makes them has to live.

We need stickers to be as cheap as poss covering all costs. I dont mind getting a load done and bearing the costs to them.

I am sure we can supply our own

I can get screenprinted self cling made up (the type you wetten and stick and can be removed)

It is good to keep the domain as our brand name... it does what it says on the tin.

Also in regards to the filter.. well I think there is no need for any bad language at all. I would like to say that having a filter is controlling but repects other members who may not wish to see such language, especially at work as some companies filter for such language and block our website (i have seen this done).

I would hope members would respect what we are trying to do... the F word has nothing to do with cars and I can explain things without using swear words.

Example;

oh S**t = oh golly

F**k = flip! ;)

If it is good enough for all members of your family to view then its good enough for this site. If it is not then expect it to be moderated.

Not my intention to be pushy, but I try and keep things of high standard in order to look after everyone. ;)

hmm googles $5 a day shared.. hey thats $1 each fellas!!

$25 a year hosting made me grin... thats cheap for a dedicated server

The end of the day we do not have funds to improve things on this website. Shame as since this club is only over a year old we see it growing rapidly.

We are not begging people to support the site... If people enjoy it and want a few more features in return then please do what you can.

Otaku you need to get a grips of reality if you expect something to grow.

had a windom that did this... the heat from the exhaust rises through the body of the car

I have a set for corrolla.. but not sure which facelift it is for... i think its for an 03 model

i can sell for $50 AUD + $10 shipping

i shall definatly be watching this tommorow ;)

but with japenese products there would be a much higher quality control cos those big brands (like sony) dont want their names spoiled by some crappy chinese factory...

←

you should do some research.. the "crappy chinese" factory you mention are thats where most of the componants in sony gear is made... its only the elecronics (which some of the electronic componants are made in China) are then put togethr by japanase factories.

If i said to you go and have a look at where all the products are made in your home you would see that you have purchased so called "crappy chinese" made products. I bet even the shirt on your back is made in china.

Also isnt china now the second most powerful economy in the world? (or getting there very quickly) America being the first.. i can bet you China will soon be the most powerfull country in the world.. afterall they are buying out alot of the large banks in the USA.

So, i reckon before slating chinese made products (not saying all is good as there is some crap floating around) I would research actually how big the chinese industry is.. you will be highly suprised.

Japan is too small to have such a enourmous industry making plastics and electronics products... its all imported in!!

ok... Those who wish to write some articles could you add your name so i can add you to a list, I can then put together the news section.

cheers

saw this on clubrsx.....thats sum crazy n scary shizzles.....

y cant the CHINAese produce n e thing thats decent :(

←

funny you should say that

China probably develope 70% of the things you use every day... guess what.. the japs do too. You buy something from japan such as a camera you can guarentee alot of it was moulded in china... the japanese just add their technology to it.

China just have to establish themselves in the car market and learn from their mistakes. But they will be big in the future i can tell you.

In fact the americans dont build such safe cars either.

The new moderators have been assigned there new positions.

E-Gene will help new mods with any questions regarding moderation.

Thanks for your support.

cheers

34 and feeling it

damn.. gonna miss out on the big fat burger and Latte :P

ok guys here is the deal.

If i provide a content management system for the front end (instaed of the cacky one at the mo) I can give you guys access to add articles on the fly.

All that is required is at least an article per week from each person (which may depend on how big the article is)

I do not expect anything that puts people out... just a bit of fun to add more content to the club and help build it up.

Contenet will be based on all types of Toyota cars and information (not just corolla ;) ) Also adding industry news would be excellent too. Toyota AU release press releases weekly... these will need to be researched from Toyota and get them email as soon as they are released and added to the website, Toyota will be happy to supply this info as its publicity for them as long as you adhere to their Embargo dates.

I agree that we should have a team leader so we can all agree on articles that are published.

If those interest can defiantly volunteer a little bit of time then we should start planning by choosing a team leader, and then some ideas such as Featured ride, car of the month and industry news etc.

There are better ways of crashing the server man...

dont worry ;)

Any members here good at writing articles and can spare a few hours a week and volunteer?

Looking for somone to do TOCAU newsletters and write ups.

Experience essential... good placement whithin the club.

cheers

Steve

yeah sorry guys.. we were eliminating the high server load and we reduced the amount of queries throughout the clubs.

Now we have solved the problems we have returned these features.

interesting votes... we did get a couple more than whats listed but i am only listing the highest votes.

northy 4 votes

Danz 3 votes

E-Gene 3 votes

Silva 3 Votes

xoom 3 votes

my job picking just got harder

So I am going to pick all 5

E-gene being the supermod.

I will also try and send the 4 new mods some ideas on how to mod when I make the changeover. I will sort something out real soon.

interesting votes... not the same as the poll

Also why is E-gene up for vote when he is already a supermod??

Here is a manual vote...

Instructions

Add the username you wish to vote for in the TITLE of your PM and in the Body of yor PM

The click send

Use this link to vote

I will only count votes from members who have posted and have been on here for at least 1 month.

I will run this for a couple of days and will annnounce 3 new mods.

Ok... After a bit of investigation i have found that cheating has been going on.

I can sniff crap from a nuns **** from the admin area of these boards and I know who it is. I aint saying anything.

So... I am cancelling these polls as they are incorrect

Sorry for not keep tabs guys.. last week my PC went bang and I have managed to get stuff sorted and had to reinstall software and get myself running again.

I was waiting for you guys to make a list or add names to a poll

But I will only make new moderators who will actually commit to spending at least 30 mins a day going through posts.

Also I have big experience with forums.. and like th e other boards we usually have mods that manage all forums because you dont need to be car minded to know when someone is being rude, silly or bitchy or know when a topic is not in the right place.

So.. we usually set things up so that mods look after the whole board in the hope that at least there is one Mod about during the daytime.

Thats my experience and I would like to stick to this.

So... If you guys can get a list of names that are willing to help then its up to you guys to vote.

Thats fair then

At the moment TOCAU is internet based. This part of the club is only a year old and is building a firm foundation for a popular club.

This is the 4th club i have set up and like the other it will grow just like the others.

Give it time. But for the time being.. enjoy it here! ;)

we have camry forums here?? and a private server.

Sorry but we do not generally build this site for other clubs to take our members. We are more interested in promoting our own camry forums.

Please read our forum terms and conditions
