Where did the E-series section go off Australian Ford Forums

SLY437 i still didnt get banned and had more of a go than you did (sven over there)... every post i put in that thread was pro-boosted

LUXO-8 my post got deleted but i made a short copy before russel went to town on the thread:

What else is included with the $20. I would like to know where my money was going if i was to pay it. And if the club isnt part of CAMS Affiliated yet why are you asking for money now?? Why not when it actually happens??

How do you expect to get new members, or people that have been on AFF for a while, to pay $20 to attend cruises when they dont know what OzECruisers cruises will be like??

Also clubs such as boostedfalcon . n e t have FREE membership and FREE cruises. Along with having ALL of the knowledge from the old E-Series club that was here on AFF.

The E-Series section of AFF isnt growing anywhere near the rate of BoostedFalcon and it will stay that way if people here dont wise up.

Now i know you'll probably delete some or all of this for talking up BoostedFalcon but i'm just giving my opinion. Their technical knowledge, cruises, mini-meets and the web site in general are just superior to OEC.

$20 is nothing. Cheaper than removing a yellow sticker.

sven wrote:knowledge yes, when it comes to e-series technical info boosted is the place to be.

didnt think people on AFF liked people talking about getting little yellow stickers on your car...

Wish I could've posted it myself over there :'(

Sux that they deleted it. Oh well. Everyone can come and see it here.

It's like zomfgz a car modified to a standard that renders it ineligible for a RWC is way bad. But oh, um I have 4 kids who I haven't payed any maintenance for and like didn't buy them Xmas presents. That's FULLY ok.

yeah sorry i stole your line sunny but figured if you couldnt say it someone should. you still have the claim to it. it got russel'd though

by **TUFED6** » February 6th, 2008, 10:55 am

I wonder if any of those fools realize how much $$$ they have thrown away by fcuking with the E-series section.

900ish people look at this site? Young people with disposable income, a demographic that most businesses go to a lot of trouble to attract. The E-series section used to be a very busy part of AFF, if even 10% of those looked at the sponsors products and were converted into sales it would be worthwhile.

But no, out of pure arrogance they fcuked themselves. Retards.

by **EFFalcon** » February 6th, 2008, 10:58 am

Very true John... and since we're sponsorship free, we can allow people like snort performance (a major player in our markets) to keep us updated without the fear of another sponsor being pissed off.

by **Commando** » February 6th, 2008, 11:08 am

E-Series was 2nd to the Bar in activity & # of posts/threads before the July exodus IIRC... Or 1st

That's the best thing about it, this gives us the upper hand. If we were sponsored, we'd haveto follow their rules on what foreign products we could promote on this site and which we can't. Without a sponsor, their gunna haveto compete with each other to promote their product. Also, alot more accurate information about various products will be put forward and discussed, as it will not be censored by what the sponsor allows us to say.

No sponsor FTW!!!

Boosted FTMFW.

by **SLY347** » February 6th, 2008, 3:45 pm

EDFalcon...I took mine to PM with russellw. Also, not only have they pissed the E-series memebrs off BUt also the majority of SA people have scattered from that place aswell.
I also ask russellw to delete any thread started by me, including my car build up thread. He said since they were the property of there IP, it was AFF decsion to delete them or not. Gay.

by **Nikk O'lass** » February 6th, 2008, 3:47 pm

nothing happens over on Oec anyway, that thread was the most action they have seen in days.

by **pHaT`eL** » February 6th, 2008, 3:53 pm

can someone check and see if my build thread is still open.. i asked for it to be deleted ages ago.

just had a look and couldnt even see you in the member list but doesnt mean you post isnt there. would it have been in technical?? also you were phatel over there werent you??

sly347: i took it to PM with the minge and he cracked it and said "MY FORUMS!!! MY RULES!!" and stopped replying.

by **Nikk O'lass** » February 6th, 2008, 4:07 pm

can i ask why you cant bump threads?? it was good the way it was, i'm sure you have your reasons though.

Mainly because all we saw was bumps to threads that contained no context, I would hate to see how many single posts have only the word bump in the database.

Again, financially we don't make a cent from it

by **[Sterling]** » February 6th, 2008, 4:08 pm

the guys at AFF need to eat some concrete and harden the **** up!

by **SLY347** » February 6th, 2008, 4:14 pm

They will only delete it if they want to

by **Commando** » February 6th, 2008, 4:48 pm

SLY347, change your picture links in photobucket/etc

That'll mess up your build thread. Sure, all the text info will still be in place, but all your photos will be blown away

Instant ban from AFF = replacing named links with porn or boostedfalcon pics

I simply broke all my links.

by **SLY347** » February 6th, 2008, 4:54 pm

I would but I use the same photo's on a few forums, not just AFF. So that kinda sucks, I've got a few otehr avenues to get rid of it

That's what I told him to do also, after he told me that my posts were full of shit, but he said the same thing. Changing pic links ftmfw

by **AaronEF8** » February 6th, 2008, 5:59 pm

Nice. Closed again.

I'm sure a few AFF'ers/oEc'ers are reading this, and for everyone elses information, a 'car club' isn't a car club until it has CAMS affiliation. Until then, they are a social club with a focus on cars, no matter how much crap anyone tries to spin, how many constitutions are written, and even if they have an ABN, and every other government piece of paperwork. Still not a car club without CAMS.

How many times did people on E-Series/AFF say they are chasing CAMS affiliation for the club, then dissappear a month later? IIRC it was looked into properly by senior club members, and it basically worked out that to do it on a national level is impossible, due to the numbers required to attend monthly meetings, and the AGM.

I'll believe oEc will have CAMS affiliation when I check on http://www.cams.com.au and see oEc listed as a club on there.

It seems EA2BA doesn't like 'oEc' as a shortened name either..

Forums dedicated to performance, not dyed roof linings, hornet scoops and paying money for elite-ism FTW

Thats why this place is good. No bullshit, just the way we planned.

by **simon5574** » February 6th, 2008, 8:04 pm

I'm on my 5th E-Series and enjoy the variety of all 4 major E-Series forums and actively post on all of them.

I honestly believe it would be boring if we ended up with just the one forum as each seems to have a slightly different focus and information.

Each to their own i guess

by **Dansedgli** » February 6th, 2008, 8:24 pm

Not everyone fits in here.

The reason this forum started was to get away from the members that werent like the old school E series group. cough vicfords cough

by **FRDXR6** » February 6th, 2008, 10:25 pm

Haha i just had a look back at AFF.

The 'Events' section is now viewable only if you are a PAYING member. So if you dont give them money, you can't see when the cruises or events are on.

Mother Nature - "There are currently a few changes happening to this area of the forums in line with what the focus group has suggested as a club. The election of the innaugral committee will, no doubt, bring more changes as the club grows further. Should you wish to view these areas it is as simple as joining up with the club."

It seems their going through a whole lot of redtape, only to find themselves at the end with a realtively small amount of members. Lets face it e-series are cheap and getting old, the majority of people who buy them are under 25, will mod them, thrash them, then upgrade when they get enough $$$. I cant see many of these people paying yearly fees, attending annual general meetings and altering constitutions just so they can have a meet at bunnings carpark every few months...

by **67rce** » February 6th, 2008, 10:26 pm

Its amazing how much shit you miss when you get banned from AFF for spinning out on a skidpan.... hell, i got banned before Boosted was even started, and Boosted is better than any other Ford based Forum (i.e FM/AFF etc) IMHO but im glad i got booted from AFF, it seems like they have turned into major ****, well, a little worse than the Anal **** they were

by **Commando** » February 7th, 2008, 7:00 am

as the club grows further

further into the red?

67rce, that's a tough break, isn't that what a skidpan is for? F**king up safely?

Thats what i thought, but obviously not according to aff

by **pHaT`eL** » February 7th, 2008, 6:07 pm

This place is the shiz.. Im not what i'd call an old school E-Series member (joined 2004 or 2005) but given the right attitude towards skids/boost/boobs found it easy to fit in

and here I am today, wo0p!

by **Bipolar** » February 8th, 2008, 7:27 am

Same. Couldn't have said it better myself.

by **Sunboost** » February 8th, 2008, 8:28 am

Farken sick of seeing MN's posts there. They are either -

"Moved to technical" or "As a result of discussion with the focus group"...

Broken records FTL.

EA2BA begged to have his membership here re-instated saying that he could be a useful member. We re-instated, he posted for like 1 day and I haven't seen anything from him since. Thinking of banning him.

Do you want to show yourself here Jase?

by **EFFalcon** » February 8th, 2008, 8:32 am

Don't ban sunny, no point.

by **Commando** » February 8th, 2008, 8:41 am

I <3 EA2BA

He can't see/can't potentially leak Good Stuff info to AFF anyway so it's not like he's a threat/potential mole. I don't see him doing that anyway. It's a pity he's in OzECruisers though.

He knows a fair bit of electronic info that'd be quite handy here & has been very helpful in the past to a few members on here, including myself.

by **AaronEF8** » February 8th, 2008, 4:52 pm

Yeah I'd agree there, he is a wealth of knowledge. If we ban kents just for being paying oEc members, doesn't that make us just as lame as AFF censoring boostedfalcon.net and banning senior boosted members, just for being senior boosted members?

AFAIK, anyone can read most of the forums, the good stuff they need approval though right?

Never met the guy in real life, and thats just fine by me, but EA2BA (dellboy was it?) sure did know his shit in regards to the electrical stuff.
