the code has to be obtained via an admin of the forum now, i have to vouch for each member i give the code too. If i invite someone i dont know or
someone i invite passes the code out to eveyone then they will be deleated and i will be banned. sorry. Its not a very good system to encourage people
to join. I think they like to think being a Lufter is an exclusive thing. one again sorry. I will post the pictures here for you so you dont need
their site

yes it doesn't encourage sit infront of the monitor types to join, but that is not what the luft is all about. sure there is plenty of talking, but
it is about getting out there, getting to know each other and doing stuff. if you go to a few shows and get chatting to some lufters (and have the
right sense of humour, touch of stupidity, total addiction to vw's etc fit in  ) you are on your way to getting an invite.
it is a very tight knit community where people look out for each other and go out of thier way to help each other. this week one of the melbourne guys
needed help lifting a t3 body off a pan and half a dozen guys put thier hand up during the week, cruised around today and did it. some had never met
the guy they were helping.
yes it probably seems that we like it to be exclusive but if you had a forum where 98% of the posts are positive and stuff like the above happen
regularly you too would be careful to try and keep it that way too.
i live in rural nsw so i can see how difficult it would be for people in a similar situation to join now, but unfortunately that is the downside of
trying to keep the "feeling" that makes the luft what it is.
please note the above is just my opinion the mods etc might see it differently.

Most of the dudes on luft would be on here as well, yeah?? Still don't get the password thing... don't like how they can hold that power over you
if invite someone they don't like you could get banned!!!
Things like this have a very one eyed culture, and want everyone to bow to their demands

At the request of the photographer of the above images, I have to remove them. I've now got my own thread on the luftwebsite where we are now
discussing the issue. I find myself hating the online world more and more because of fighting like this, we all share a passion you'd think we'd get
along like a house on fire.

we do get on like a house on fire... lots of heat, flames and stuff getting f'd up.
i don't know your history with john (the photographer) but i have talked to him about getting banned here and what came after. if the same happened
to me i wouldn't want my pictures on here either.
yes you are copping flack on the luft as is this site. the regulars love the place and if another member bags the place they often take offence. if a
member doesn't seem to "get" what it is all about, people question why they are there. from my understanding melburg luft started because of
peoples dis-satisfaction with avd at the time so picking on avd is almost a sport.
again, just my take on things.

I appreciate the insight. I don't understanding fighting on the internet at all. John has had some irk with me from the day I joined the samba, the
only.reason I haven't been kicked from there by him is because I get along with everet. Hmm the marvels of technology

Its funny how a few bag AVD, but i see some on here advertise luft with their banners. If AVD was that bad then you'd think they would shut that
down!
AVD has been around forever and a day and really is a good forum, has great people from all parts of the vw spectrim. I had my times on here were my
opion has clashed, but hey i've got thick skin and can take it as well as i can give it and don't get the sooks on if things don't go my way.
As for just sitting in front of the monitor and typing..... some of us don't wear Avd shirts, have AVD banners at shows etc.. you my not reconise who
we exactly are as some of us on here have been in the vw scene for a long period of time and they were the ones that set the secene that people follow
today.
AVD has done a lot for the VW community and i'm fairly sure i wouldn't be the only to say that!!
I've used both so i've tasted both peices of the pie.

thanks for the info steve.
tar, i get what you are saying. AVD has certainly done a huge amount for the australian scene, i remember how exciting it was when i first found out
about it. i'm back to checking here every day.
a lot of the dis satisfaction stemmed back to a period on here when it was a bit wilder. constant flaming, some of the moderation was rather heavy
handed and skewed to the moderators point of view. a fair few of the old faces dissappeared and others (mods included) took a big step back. things
are a lot better now but the damage was done.

Yep i can remember those days. I've been on AVD for awhile had different user name so my tar regis 2009 is not when i first got here, so i know the
times your talking about.
I agree AVD is better but to me it never got so bad i hated everything about it. I suppose what i'm trying to say is they can be haters but don't
bring that attitude to everyone else just because there not in the cool crowd. Both crowds like the same thing.

mods this thread doesn’t need to be here. it should be removed. a separate thread to complain about other forums doesn't achieve anything. These
posts worked in the context of the original post, and on their own can be taken out of context and misinterpreted.

oh pleeezzzeee
complaints.. don't think so imao
I'm sure most peeps here can read the thread and get the context yeah
if they misinterpret the context get back to English class and work it out ffs
their are other forums in this universe that so don't get it and ban ban ban the slightest view not according to the gospel of the so called
mesiah(s)
this thread gives account to how peeps are feeling on said subject and should not be interpreted as hate crimes that need to be culled
I get the community thing and it is everywhere as just demonstrated at Valla,
however that's the beauty of here it can be said and discussed as most of us are grown ups around here.. most of the time
my 8 cents

Look. Many of the regular posters are complete wankers. Puffing up like peacocks, very elitist. Aggressive. Which. Is actually funny. I'll happily
tell them to f off in person. The forum really should be just for club members. Not open to anyone else. As it is like a little boys club. If you
don't agree with them 100% they cry and carry on. I asked to have my access terminated. F that crap. Life is too short for wankers like that. So
many Vw crew have had similar issues. Hence why they are here. A forum. That's chilled. Informative. I personally don't give two shits if you have
the "correct" year model etc. they do. If that's your thing. U will love it.
