    Don't know whether this is possible but should we have a private Aussie subsection for subscribed and frequent users only? I am in favour and it would be a good place to discuss things like the GG run as well as other various things that some might not want lurkers to see (you know who you are you ****ing arseholes :D).

    Get Pap onto it.

    Good idea actually - make it just for subscribed people and Rob Lay shouldn't have any problems.

    Great idea. Nuts to Lurkers that cause trouble.

    Is this even possible? Sort of defeats the purpose of "openness" though doesn't it?

    What, and have even less posters in another section than the general Aussie section already?

    I'd like to see the stats on who frequents this section. Dare I say it's dropped off over the years?

    How about the mod list at the bottom of the section fixed up out of respect for those who are no longer with us?

    Am I the only one who sees this stuff?

    This has it's good and bad points IMO. Certa

    I had a quick look and found four active members that are not subscribed, that would 'miss out'......so to speak.

    These four people are active posters here, our friends and it would be a shame to see them miss out from our normal discussions.

    Not including other members on the forum that are not subscribed, but drop in and add some value to this section.

    Now, we CAN have our cake and eat it too friends. :eek:

    Rob Lay can set this up and it was suggested we do this a while ago when some guys complained about not being able to put me on ignore.

    It was discussed again just recently with Rob Lay and another member, who's emails were forwarded onto myself to read.

    After having some time to think about it, I still don't believe it will be totally successful as we are too small a section to really benefit from it.

    But in saying that, there could be good value in it in regards to the GG & Tassie runs that you all organise and discuss. The FCA Rallies etc.etc.

    So I am happy to give it a go, with Rob's permission and help of course.

    I just hope no one becomes "snobby" or behaves immaturely towards the non-subscribed members.

    We can keep the Aussie section as is and have a private sub-forum to discuss anything else.

    Just remember though, it only takes a non-subscribed member to subscribe to be able to access the new private section and this may backfire in some respect.

    I will forward this thread and the idea to Rob Lay and we will go from there.

    Any suggestions or ideas are most welcome.

    Cheers boys and girls. :)

    Seriously, how much is a silver subscription, cheap as chips, however I don't think silver subscription should lead to automatic entry, pointless IMO, rather have it set up like the owners forum where you need to be vouched for before you have access

    I don't propose the whole Aussie section becomes private but rather there be a place where we can post stuff without it being broadcast to everyone eg GG, breakfast runs, photos from various runs
