Neil,

It seems only 0.8% of members here are regarded as financial ( "some" pending renewal - I wonder how many Razz

).

I find Toymods of late becoming more and more elitist, there is an agenda here, and it is not at all to do with creating or in anyway supporting a wider Toyota community.

Does Toymods have a mission statement? Does it include using the buying power of 10000 enthusiasts to benefit a few ?

If the forums were strictly limited to financial members, it wouldn't be financially viable to have a forum, the sponsors are not interested in advertising to 50 odd people, it is the 10000 that supports this forum financially and they do have rights to information, especially when it is not in specific and direct conflict with an organised event.

In the absence of casual members it would be cheaper for the exec to just ring each other once a week instead of wasting the clubs money on what would then be a very small kingdom indeed.

That way they can still bitch about other clubs / troubleshoot their 18rg's and compare GT4 times as well as use the left over cash to register their copy's of photoshop and keep on making funny little photos of their cars looking way sicker than they really are.

I doubt this will happen anytime soon, some enjoy their illusions of grandeur too much.

Matt,

Does staring at the screen give you some sort of PMS or do you just get a kick out of trying to cause aggression between Toymods and The Toyota Nationals committe ? In person your actually a great bloke but I really struggle to understand your motives on this forum Sad

Actualy yes your right ! just under 0.8% of forum users are Toymods members. Theses 0.8% make it possible for the other 99.2% to interact on these forums. The fact that a small minority of the 99.2% choose to complain about how we run them still baffles me.

Elitist you say.. About time you realised it ! This IS a "boys" club. We DO favour our club members and their wishes. Thats what being a financial member is all about. 83 people make this forum possible and some of them don't even use it. The other 10'000 odd contribute to its content and are very welcome but without the 83 financial Toymods members it wouldn't exist. You can rant and dribble about how sponsors wouldn't advertise on a forum with only 83 people but the fact is the Toymods car club had sponsors long before we had a forum and we only need forum sponsors to help subsidize the costs incurred by the 10'000 or so non members.

To be blunt I am sick and tired of having to reply to posts where people attack the board, attack this club and critise the way we run it when they do nothing to support it, pay nothing to use it and carry on like 5 year olds that didn't get the matchbox car they wanted for Xmas. If you don't like our forum.... DONT USE THEM !

The simple fact is Toymods has no beef at all with the Toyota Nationals, I am however starting to think perhaps some of the Toyota Nationals committee might have one with Toymods ??? Not only do we not have a problem with other toyota clubs we are the ONLY Toyota club that has dedicated space at OUR expense on OUR forums just so the wider Toymods community can organise their own events (As long as they don't conflict with ours and are not commercial).

I really do hope you guys get your shit together for a good Easter event next year and I have personally wished both Grant and Dave the best of luck with your Dyno Days. All we asked was that they be held at a time which didn't conflict with our own. Its a shame even this friendly request couldn't be forefilled but its your club so you can run it anyway you like.

I'm not going to argue the point of how your personal desire to ADVERTISE on OUR forum is so much more important than the financial well being of THIS club. I will however waste more of my time and repeat what has already be spelt out and isn't open for discussion.

These are the TOYMODS forums. The best interest of the TOYMODS car club will always be its focus.

You have your own web site we don't tell you how to use it.
