Default Do Admins Even Work On This Site?

Just noticed the little banner at the top which shows advertisments...

REDLINE TOTB 6 - 29th July
Tickets available now...

It's TOTB 7 and it's the 27th July...

Just had to rant about that

Forget the Gobstopper, Zen time attack car and many other high profile cars. Cockney Wideboy must have the most famous Impreza ever. And it is only ever parked up next to his house.

Admin where ever you are put some graft in and give back a bit to the loyal followers of this site and just update the little things.

I think they are far more interested in banners and ad's that bear no relation to Subaru ownership

I have raised this on occasions with no response either.
Be nice if we see other cars there for a change, the scooby shootout banners only just come down.

Maybe if we really start slagging them off we might get a reply
Even if it is only an infraction.

Seriously though, it is about time they pulled their fingers out and updated the website. Cockney's motor is nice but I am sick of seeing it now !

I agree. I sent in some well nice pics of my scooby up in the highlands ages ago hoping for it to be on featured scoobies but nothing happened. It says - If your model does not appear please contact us to let us know.

righto

admins clearly do not admin correctly or have pride in the most important page which is the front. Seems the accountants that own the site are more intrested in trying to sell you stuff than maintaining it. Pretty sad really.

I would BUT...

Whats the point?
If there's no admin doing their work then I'm going to pay my 5 quid and be getting basically the same service as what I am now.
Already a fully paid member on 2 other site because I know the admins are on there on a daily basis.
Unlike here...

Will do once things get turned around though.

I understand that he has emailed asking to sponsor a forum, as well as pay to advertise, but that no one has replied.

That's why I didn't renew my full subscription.

Does anyone know of any other Impreza sites that are any good? Are you all on SIDC?

I do agree slightly with this but what the hell...

People want to know what they are going to get for their money.
The admins aren't exactly showing us good things when we never see them around the site and never see much changing.
Personally I'm not going to be paying the £5 for the membership.
I've previously said I've done it on 2 other sites because I know the admins are on daily and always inform of updates etc.
Which I've only seen once since I've been registered on this site.


It looks like the admins have given up all hope on this site and have decided to take people's money who pay them to become fully fledged members and do a runner.

It wouldn't suprise me if I got an infraction to be honest because it's people like this that can't face the truth and do anything to keep people quiet!

ScoobyNet members = 83,792 and posts = 7,774,627

SIDC members = 15,013 and posts = 990,831

Scoobynet does seem to be more popular and I can understand why cause the forums are great and easy to use. I'm just going to keep using this site for it's forums and not expect anything else.

I've learnt so much in the past few months which I am greateful for but I won't part with any cash. The site seems to have been created in a fire and forget way so I'd want to know where the money would be going first

Ive been here less than a year and scoobynet has gone downhill.......

Cant have a laugh anymore cos some humourless tool will infract at will

PS Lewis getting slightly more annoying everyday

Seems to be loads of slagging off threads lately (namely dealers and specialists)

Threads and posts getting vaped by admins for the flimsiest of pc reasons!

People negging posts just cos they dont agree with the opinion, not cos they are genuinely offended!

Admins not giving a **** about the home page!


I used to log on to find out stuff about my impreza, and have a laugh in the forums. Now its like if you disagree with someone, you get infracted. Im close to a ban, but i dont give a **** cos if ps lewis can haunt this site with a thousand user names, so can i!

TBH I think the fact that the thread has been here for 3 days and NO ONE FROM ADMIN has bothered to make comment says it all really.

A simple "sorry guys we'll get on the case" would help, but alas you obviously don't care.

True Grip is the only thing I miss about not being paid up on SIDC.

I found the forum to be a bit dull TBH.

Unsure what you mean about ability to buy show tickets?
