Can we seperate the for sale section into parts for sale and cars for sale? Not to the degree the samba is or anything. Just means cars will stay near the top longer as they sometimes take more time to move where as parts move generally more quickly.
Just an idea. Anyone else agree, disagree?

We're not eBay.
I'll talk to the other forum mods, in particular Jim.

good idea.
Stuff disappers way too quickly

I'm in favour of that

Were not expecting ebay Andrew. We all seriously bow down and thank you for your tireless slavery on our behalf.
What about a parts price comparison database for all the dealers while were at it? Ha ha - just dreaming!
I was actually thinking it would be nice to add a couple of custom smilies like traffic lights if people don't want their posts being hijacked. You know - like a red card at the footy. If I made some, would you be interested in whacking them in? Or does it sound like too much work?
david ·
how about being able to edit your own thread to remove all the dropkicks smartarse comments and stupid posts (maybe like this one)
vwombat ·
You'd have to separate the forum into purist conservatives and basket cases then. I know where I belong!
Do people really get that worked up about craziness in their threads? If they do, maybe they could add a field to their member profiles for "serious only" or something? Like a "no junk mail" sign on the letterbox?
This is a serious suggestion BTW.
Sorry to the Moderators for opening yet another can of worms.

I second that! if we can't have some light hearted fun, this forum will become "flame wars" like OCAU 🙁

Most people know who the moderators are. Most moderators are looking and participating several times a day.
Just ask and a message can be edited if it is warranted.
I keep my eye on the Paint & body section and am always there to offer advice, and also edit if need be. Fortunatley that section seems to attract mostly serious posts.
If you have a more serious question, posting in a more serious area - Tech, Conversions, Racers etc will get you to more people that are into seroius stuff.
In my opinion what is posted in General Chit Chat is open for anyone to reply and go silly (within the boundries). I actually quite enjoy the tangents that a lot of those posts end up on.

so I was taking Frenzix seriouisly:o I iwiil now have to go back & re read all his post's to re assess everything in a lateral manor & find a free interenet cynicism translator program
what does hijacking a post mean?
XXX-1.8T ·
hijacking a post is when 2 gay guys having sex are in an aeroplane while reading a post
Nah just joking it means to take a post off subject like this one is starting too:thumb

Hijacking is ok, it is holding one for ransom that would be interesting.
Shrek ·
As long as the post is in general chat, then it should be just that.
No complaints as long as we're not abusing or being totally out of order, there are serious forums for serious subjects. I also enjoy coming on for a laugh with some of these posts, I can read them for hours. The VW's brought us together but the general chat forum let's us speak about anything.
Pulling the thread back though, I think having a separate forum for complete vehicle sales would be useful as posts would stay current for longer.

Without those type of posts there would not be a lot to read.

C'mon Hellbus the 1916 comment was a joke. Do you think i'd seriously open that bloody debate! Anyway stroke it and do it properly ha ha ha!!!!!
Tangents , stupid posts , thats what this place is about but best kept to the General Chat forum. The idea of not having to sift through heaps of parts to find a car does sound good though.
Your all crazy crazy people and thats why we love ya!!!!
Dan 🙂🙂🙂

I like the idea of seperating parts from cars but ONLY if it is not too much effort for moderators god knows you guys are doing enough already.
vanderaj ·
Done. Go nuts. 🙂
Andrew
ducky ·
talk about quick that's action. And not just a seperate one for parts but a whole bunch of new for sale sections. Well done
Cruzin in a Golf ·
It is called democracy ducky...or atleast something like that. 🙂
jenz58 ·
And a section for Buggies.... Hey Ducky!!!
It took someone (Ducky) to start a new thread with a question.....It would have been lost here and taken longer.....
p.s. how's the missus Ducky? Good I hope 🙂

Well done to the mods for acting so quickly but I think there are too many sections now for such a small amount of traffic that come through here. One section for cars and one for parts is enough I think, I will never bother trawling through all that looking for anything. Only my opinion though, everybody else may feel differently.
Cheers

quick action, guys. :kiss thats why i love this forum.

I agree 1 section for cars 1 for parts. I feel there are now too many sections. 🙁 To much to trawl.
I would like to JUST see
Cars Buying, Selling & Swapping
Parts Buying, Selling & Swapping
Not the Type breakdowns.

I guess the creators will assess the situation...if there is low volume of traffic in areas they will merge them into another area?
and if one area is big/popular it will stay as is...?
I've just bought a couple of things from TheSamba...the guy asked were we all go online over here so I gave him our/forum link...You never know....they may come to us 😎
He has a very nice collection of parts 🙂

You can always use the 'todays posts' link at the top of the page and you dont have to sift through the sections.
P.S this works really well if you check every half hour. 🙂
