are you using any firewall software or ad blocking or any of that kind of stuff. it may have misinterpreted it as bad

If anyone is having dramas registering or activating, there is now a special forum topic, where you can post without being registered, so you can let us know. We can then activate you manually.

you will not get any help, they will just ignore you for showing interest in them! NO Manners
they were also happy to take traffic from this site when it started. ironically there is a new thread here now giving them bad press for ignoring good vw folk
its elitist private you know! LOL
type3disease ·
hey loosecannon
wolfgang couldn't be any more wrong
what they are looking to try and achieve is a word of mouth system to register,
the reason for is it is to keep keyboard bandits and postal spammers and other internet junk out (like porn,viagra ads etc etc)
I've run a forum for another make of car before and know what its like to try and monitor and stay on top of and its really a full time job
so these guys are trying to work around that with a new registration system (and they are all part time volunteers)
so if you head to a local vw event and chat to anyone that has a luft sticker or tee on them or their car, chances are they will be able to refer you or get you a code
it's another way of making sure its all about vw heads that are actively involved in their local scene etc too
by no means are they trying to be elitists... just trying to control the forum to members not interweb junk....
hope thats some help
cheers ben
and before everyone jumps on the bandwagon that they are only into ratty low cars , thats bull too...
early, late, shiney, matt, ratty whatever - there are gallieries and members for all sorts, years, models etc...

Melburgluft is a great forum, especially for Vic people.
I was a member but was de-registered because I didn't post enough (I assume). Would love to get access again as it is a great place to research different types of VW's.
Hopefully they will open it back up soon..............pretty please.

ha ha take traffic from this site
what like the founder of this site who now only posts on melburg because of fools like yourself.
wow 4 months and your an expert on this site.😂
PHAT BUG ·
I'm very confused about all the hype,
I've been a long time member of this forum and was a member of the original forum too. Melburg Luft was started because a few mates and I decided we'd like a place where people who are into the style of cars we love could gather to talk shit and share their experiences.
After a few years we thought the forum had lost sight of what we'd set out to create, It had become Generic (for want of a better term) We then as a group (the whole forum) made the decision to close the doors and delete the "0" post users as they hadn't contributed to the forum since joining. Members were given at least a months notice that this would happen.
I'm not sure why any of this needs to be justified to anyone?? Our admin e-mail is out of order at present, so yes you may not have had a response, for that I'm sorry. We except new members every week and are far from elitist, nor do we have "exclusive Jackets", our merchandise is available for purchase at any Vic show.
If you'd like to join, come along to one of our monthly meets at Rancho Deluxe in Collingwood and introduce yourself they're held on the first Saturday of every month.
Again I apologise, All we are trying to do is have more of a community feel to our forum, Just imagine if you could put a face to every name on here wouldn't that be great.
I hope this will clear up any miss-understandings, if you have any further queries please do not hesitate to PM me,
Regards,
Rhett (Melburg Luft Admin)

everyone seems a little more straight up over here and there seems to be a lot less bullsh1t
So cus you got the boot about starting shit that didn't involve you, you are now going to the second best thing? 😂
I guess that tattoo around your neck really sums it up!

Wannavee ·
Well its deserved don't you think?
Or have you forgotten why you're not there now?
You were given so much bloody good advice by good people that KNOW what theyre doing with the kind of style you like,yet you come on here and post this crap.
Thats gratitude for ya
I hear Peewee Herman has started a new forum. Maybe try that

mmmm ... so you have to ARSE someone first !!!!!!!!!!!!

newghia ·
WTF....Just grow up, nobody asked you to lick their arse.
I just dont get why you want to bitch about it,
are you in melbourne ??? No
Are you mates with anyone from on there ?? Kind of doubt it, otherwise you'd probably have a different opinion
Yes i am on there, No i am not in Melbourne, yes i get on several forums, & yes i know some of them by sight.
I have met good & bad people, interesting & uninteresting on several of these forums, this site appears to have the most complaining though.
And i also understand why they did what they did to "Their forum " ,
& they also accepted the mate that i took down to Day Of The VW as a new member
It is a Melbourne based community & many of them are good mates & from my exposure to them, good blokes too.
A bit wrong to judge & make accusations when it appears you are ill informed
Maybe you're a good bloke, maybe i'm off the mark, there are too many variables to clearly judge & come to a conclusion, but maybe you could have also put your words in a different way

Wannavee ·
Coz they can't have what they want Nath
Most ARE ill informed,as they listen or read the crap that's posted on other forums and jump on the bandwagon of hate.
Sad really
And as for Ritalin Boy,well........what can I say there? 😂
Good lads the pair of ya
MISS VDUB ·
Sad and pathetic boys, never seen so much whinging and bitching in my life. Are you 2 men or little over opinionated boys who couldn't get their way so want to have a tanty and sulk!
Most forums are setting themselves up this way, not just Melburg Luft. It stops morons joining up who want to abuse and piss people off, it stops spammers and people who join to sell things and rip members off.
Most people with half a brain will realise that someone doesn't get booted off a forum without a good reason. It's a top forum. Had a good laugh, met some top people, bought some awesome stuff and got great advice. That's what a forum is all about without having to put up with people banging on in a thread with a "poor me, bitch bitch" story. Give it up, move on and post something constructive... End of rant....
snitz ·
Then why are you here?..Im 40 btw so I'm no boy. Does any of my post judge anyone in a different light or stereotype them in any way?..NO.. I just stated that its a waste of fucking time. So if Im a boy you must be a fucking muppet.

As i said,
i am on several forums & have met all different kinds of people,
Yes your post judges people you don't know anything about as requiring to be "arse licked "
"40..&..name calling..." (muppets)
NOT COOL
enjoy your vw,
you'll find & fit in with a group of LIKE minded people
obviously its just not on that site
I have mates that are from different forums,
I & they know that they dont fit in with some others but nobody really wastes time complaining about it,
they all just enjoy their vw's

MISS VDUB ·
Clearly isn't a sign of maturity, your posts do not reflect your age what so ever, disappointing to the younger members here who see this childish carry on.
You are on this forum so enjoy it as I certainly hope you do your car. Don't ruin it with this garbage and unnecessary comments about other forums you don't know anything about personally.
Hope to see some more positive contributions going forward....
Wannavee ·
Snitz, No offence intended,but you won't get any invite when calling someone like Miss Vdub a muppet mate
You don't know her,and I've never met her,but we know each other through these forums,and she's a good egg.
In my opinion,The Luft suits MY taste in cars,and it's a laugh to read some posts everyday.
What they don't want, as Miss Vdub mentioned, is people just joining to post shit for sale like half of the people do, or posting 5 times a year.
Theres here,or Gumtree, or Trading post to sell ya bits.
I'll also mention that I'm not Victorian,so The Luft isnt exclusive to that state,I live in Adelaide,Marion actually, and Reynella is where I grew up (thats where you are yeah?) ,so if ya wanna catch up and talk shit about VW's, feel free to send me a PM,as a few like minded VW guys are trying to get something happening without the official 'club' shit
wagoon69 ·
Friendly?????
If there so like minded why do you need some code to get on there site?🤪
MISS VDUB ·
Please read the previous posts as to why MANY forums are going this way now, especially forums with less "administrators" to keep on top of people who join up with the simple reason to abuse and piss people off, it stops spammers and people who join to sell things and rip members off.
driftdaddy ·
Any chance of an invite code for Melburg Luft? Been meaning to join for awhile now...
