Happy birthday buddy

I have now updated the Arcade System and its live on the following url http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/arcade.php It also can be found under the community menu up top. I'll add more games over the next few days.

no, if you try using inprivate browsing or even a proxy host its the same.

we're at the top with just the words 300zx in Google!

Run over him with ma zed and he would be road kill

was thinking, what a way to go, suffication or drowning ?:biggrin:

when you edited the text you deleted the end tag of [\CODE]

And fixed as gary managed to break the inline code quotes !

Took mine off, degreased it then blasted it with a power hose !

The .co.uk is just a tld or top level domain and really has nothing to do with the running of the club but it does differentiate us from others, And if we did drop the .co.uk in the name not the domain we could actually cause confusion and complaints as there is other established clubs internationally with that name.

Our membership price is based on current active members and costs to keep this place running. For example we have 8,212 members to date and 672 active paying members, either in the primary paid year of £20 or 1/2 price cost of £10 for renewal. The first part of the payment covers costs of the membership pack which gets sent out and the second half covers the hosting fees and funds used at national meets or events. If you take the rx7owners club as an example they currently have 170,059 members and god knows how many subbed users but likely far more than we do so they can bring the subscription price right down as they have plenty of members to subsidise the overhead. Unfortunately we only have 672 which isn't a lot compared the member base of the rx7owners club and as there site is busy they also receive funding from click banners like amazon. Its not feasible to lower prices to that level currently as we will run out of funds fairly quickly then we would be dead in the water.

Great then, just wouldn't like our member base thinking we are ripping off another site. We try to create this site to be as independent and separate looking from any other well known site. Of course there will be feature that's are identical on both sites and that's just the nature of technology. Much like Apple suing Samsung for copying the flat tablet design of the iphone; imagine a company like Nissan invented the wheel and tried to sue every other company for copying them; its just daft as its a general evolution of design.

I wondered how long it would take for a comment like that to show !:glare: Although CMS is part of vBulletin its a function that we never thought was needed as is the blogging feature which is also disabled. If we enabled the CMS it wouldn't be just because z club has it but rather for member features, and I wouldn't say its directly copying them either as there is thousands of car sites that likely use vbulletin and also use cms as there main front end web page. We have a stable relationship at the moment with zclub but if they believe we are copying ideas then they are free to have there say.

I've put it to the rest of committee and I'll get back to you on what we decide.:biggrin:

Actually I disagree with you on that one - The title of the webpage is "300zx.co.uk Club Bulletin Board" and under it the sub title reads "This is a discussion board for the UK 300zx owners club." So far the only point i agree with you on is that the new logo does not say club in it and as it was me who designed it then it simply an oversight which no one apart from yourself has mentioned until now. In my original designs i did have a slogan under the main 300zx.co.uk words but i decided i didn't like it and it made the logo cluttered and not as tidy. One thing we possibly could do is put a design of our own banner into rotation which says welcome. The other option would be to enable the CMS of the forums so that the main page is a website rather than the forums and fill it with content, but we would need moderators to constantly update the sections to make it fresh, i will put that idea to the mods and committee.

Wet and Dry, lol mines going for a spray job shortly

Think it will fail the MOT under safety grounds, as if electrics fail, how do you get out ?

Yeh, Regional Discount sounds good !

Thankyou for the conntinued support to the 300zx.co.uk CLUB !!!:punk:

Full details of the rep system and how it works are in this thread : http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?167111-Forum-Reputation-System-Explained

Top secret !! Actually its still getting designed but hopefully I'll get it launched shortly.

fit a toad!

guide to getting the main harness out : http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?151390-Series-4-manual-air-con-to-digital-conversion-(pic-heavy)

the harness from the pods is separate from that in the wings, but if your thinking of taking it out its a big ask job. for starters it's dash out, seats out, all aircon parts out including heater matrix out. I've done it once before and my guides in the faq section for swapping out manual style aircon to digital type. just follow that guide to get the loom out, the loom in the wings are completely separate.

And i'm sure a mod will take it back off again as even though it could be on purpose it might as well be an accident. How would you like your personal info published online for all to see. Just saying could go both ways.
