*laughs* now this is interesting. I shoudl add that such a car/body would need to be already made, and not marked. ie Body in white, so we could then apply the custom decals etc.
Part of the issue to control is cost. there’s heaps of cool stuff we could get made, the proble is we need to be able to afford the development cost and more importantly you guys need to be able to afford to buy it!

Site Owner Guy.On the subject of voting. If there’s not one item on the list that you want above the others please select “Other” or “If it’s cool”.
Keep the ideas rolling guys – and keep the votes coming. This is a very serious Poll that will probably be used as the key input into what (of anything) gets developed.

Site Owner Guy.Please post ideas and discussion here. Keep it sane and reasonable 😉
This poll is here to help us decide if it’s worthwhile working on some merchanise. Essentially most of it would be based around the current logo with other design touches to suit!

Site Owner Guy.*grins* I think we can say that you should post the link advertising the auction into the ForSale 😉 But run your ‘sweep’ in here 😉 *laughws* it’s kind of hard to categorise 😉

Site Owner Guy.He went missing around the time of our hack…
Which leads me to meander off-topic…
Oddly enough I was able to trace the IP numbers of the guy that turned up just after the hack claming to know the hacker. I then tracked these back through our logs (both in the Forum DB and in the WWW server logs) and lets just say that a few formal complaints went into a US based ISP about the conduct of their user/s.
I posted a very small snippet of the info I had back then and suddenly those IPs and 3-4 users just went missing.
Draw your own conclusions 😉
What I can say is there’s not much people can do without appearing in logfiles 😉

Site Owner Guy.And I might remind Bithed that this post probably should be in the Forsale section 😉

Site Owner Guy.Just a reminder, please try to post something worth reading 😉
I’m sure we all want to have high post counts, but if it leads to people posting “me too” everytime they see something I will turn off the post counting.

Site Owner Guy.*shrugs* You’d have to pay me to have a PS2… Biggest marketing con job that thing is…
As for the games. *shrugs* They’re mostly crap. (at least the genres of games I like are crap on the PS2)

Site Owner Guy.Hey I bought myself an Xbox for Christmas…. Need I say more? 😀

Site Owner Guy.Yeah my guess is we’ll see a Redsuns FC plus a pair of ‘regula’ FCs

Site Owner Guy.The way the Pics (and indeed all the ‘submission’ stuff works if by you guys entering in info (be it URLs to pics, Articles, or Downloads) and then I as “Administrator” come through and “Approve” them.
For the Pics to work they have to be hosted on the ‘net somewhere. I’m considering allowing them to be uploaded to the ausmicro.com server and so on but it does mean a fair bit of coding and organising on my part. It could be a few weeks until I have it right.

Site Owner Guy.Exactly Krumm 🙂
I know I’m enjoying being 27.75 and buying myself the toys that my parents could never afford to buy me. I gave my Dad (who’s a little beyond twice my age) one last year and he loves it.
I think the technology has come to such a point that it’s just pure fun.
A lot fo us are rebelling against what I call the Playstation Syndrome too. (we’d rather play with a real toy instead of staring at the TV for hours straight).

Site Owner Guy.mmmm interesting on the shocks front as the Frictions are a dead set match in length/travel for the ones currently on my TA03…
Ahhh yeah, mean the propellor shaft (as already mentioned over a TC) not the universals. I know what you mean about the grease. It’s due for it’s first strip and clean so I may see about getting hold of some graphite instead of the very light greasing I’ve done in the past.
And few of the LHSs here have them. Not hugely cheap, about $25 a pair IIRC. Still that’s on par with some tourer tires 😉
—-
Moderator, Admin, and all that 🙂--
Site Owner Guy.*nods* basically my plan.
Oil shocks of some kind – Possibly I may buy a new set of Super Low Frictiosn for the TA03 and migrate the current ’03 oilers to the TL01
Some more “roady” (Road Hawgs or whatever they’re called) tires instead of the spikes
Hotter motor 😉
More than enough to have some fun with.
Only other stuff I’d considered was the weightweight shafts (driveshafts etc)

Site Owner Guy.This thread is another reason for everyone to fill out their info (as much as you’d like but please stick your age and Gender in!) becuase we can then implement cool things like “What’s the average age of an ausmicro.com user?”
Kind of make it an automatic process 😉

Moderator, Admin, and all that 🙂--
Site Owner Guy.Yeah the sticker sheet is historic in that area 😉
The rest of the car is _way_ better than what people tried to tell me. Considering the price I paid for it was about 30% less than the cars that were thrown up as alternatives I’m very happy with my choice!

Moderator, Admin, and all that 🙂--
Site Owner Guy.*laughs* It’s probably a bug 😉
It’s probably tough to fix I dunno 😉
I’ll play with some settings… There may be a “Master” override that forces the PM notification to go…

Moderator, Admin, and all that 🙂--
Site Owner Guy.You can all be Pimps… although I suppose the code could be tweaked to allow it to select between the Genders and then display somehting like “Lusty Vixen” or whatever was deemed suitable 😉

Moderator, Admin, and all that 🙂--
Site Owner Guy.Yeah mines very similar to the pic barring different paint colours (Daytona Yellow, Grape Pearl) with different decals layouts in places.

Moderator, Admin, and all that 🙂--
Site Owner Guy.I honestly haven’t looked that far into it. They’re a feature for the future perhaps maybe 😉

Moderator, Admin, and all that 🙂--
Site Owner Guy.None of us can really just ‘edit’ the settings. I can through the admin controls change them but really I decided to have a bit of fun for the heavy posters. So we’ve got the fairly strightforward stuff and a couple of “Pimped” entries.

Site Owner Guy.I’ll see if I can stick some good pics online… 🙂

Site Owner Guy.*grins* I expect in a week or so when I’m back at my regular daytime haunt I’ll crunch some more code chages to allow people to have their own avatars 😉
