    The Thread Pre-fix Poll.....(CLOSED)

    I'd estimate that there are more than 72 of them on here dave! In fact I'd bet a pound to a penny that most of them have never seen a naked lady outside a magazine!

    The Thread Pre-fix Poll.....(CLOSED)

    to be fair, the option the majority voted for was: I don't see any mention there of "I think they are a great idea, but in their current incarnation they are a bit pants, but if you want to change things a bit and have a look at improving them then I'm all for it. Crack on!".

    The Thread Pre-fix Poll.....(CLOSED)

    I never thought I would be the one defending staz on this one, but I think it only fair to point out that he has conceded that the whole 8P General\S3 Specific prefix thing is not going to work. You guys should lay off him. The fact that all you S3 owners were able to find this thread and vote...

    what should the topic of the poll be? * should ASN ask for voluntary donations to improve the site * should ASN charge a membership fee * should nigel sponsor the site * should everybody get to express an opinion even if they are wrong

    i might not contribute a lot, because I don't feel I have anything to say that would benefit somebody looking to stick a V8 into their S3 or add a whizzbang turbo as I have no experience in that. What I do have experience in is reading forums and I am expressing my opinion based on that. you...

    well I don't agree with that view. why should the members pay for a service that is funded by advertising? the same way your TV licence fee doesn't go to ITV because they are funded by advertising. I think if you start asking for money from the members they will go elsewhere. why pay for half...

    does that mean that you are not paying for your advertising of leads? in that case why don't you put your money where your mouth is and put some funds in the kitty instead of volunteering everybody else to make donations to improve the service. other members have been told to remove links...

    speaking of sponsorship norman, why don't you threaten to pull your sponsorship if the service doesn't improve?

    i'm surprised that you hadn't worked out the amount in the kitty from sponsors norman. the 250-500 figure I used was just an estimate, but if you had taken the fee you pay to advertise your VCDS leads and multiplied it by 12 you would get a fairly accurate figure for the amount taken in...

    I know I'm kinda new round here, but isn't that what sponsorship is for? Why should the members have to "donate" or pay a membership fee to fund additional server capacity when the sponsorship money is supposed to take care of that? how many sponsors are there here? a dozen or so? assuming...

    The Thread Pre-fix Poll.....(CLOSED)

    so what happens if a lurker decides that they want to sign up in order to vote? will you be contacting each voter individually to perform a background check? you may have somebody, like myself, who doesn't feel they have much to contribute in terms of offering advice on tuning and fitting...

    The Thread Pre-fix Poll.....(CLOSED)

    also, by cancelling the votes of new members aren't you skewing the results of the poll. are we to take from that that if you don't get the result you want after cancelling out the new members' votes that you will start cancelling other votes? will the outcome be based on the majority - i.e...

    The Thread Pre-fix Poll.....(CLOSED)

    is this poll in the proper section? how are people who don't frequent the IveGotAnS3WhatHaveYouGot section supposed to vote. you may argue that it only affects S3 owners, but if this vote is successful then surely you'll roll out the S3 Specific prefix to the other forums such as A4, A5, A6...

    Thread Prefix System - How it works

    why bother creating a new poll. you already know the result will be that people don't like it and then you'll come back to this thread and explain to everybody in simpler terms why you think it is such a good idea. people don't just agree with your argument because you keep telling the same...

    It's nice to have our A3 8P forum back...
