GetDaily still doesn't work LOL. I tried the usual tricks I would use to get around it, but I automatically get the 10 second warning.

GetDaily works, it's the main link I use!

Weird. GetDaily does not work for me when I use the button in the navigation bar.

But it works and it's the same link that you posted there.

Anyway, let us know the cost of running it. I am seriously interested in either funding it (if it's not badhobz territory of funding [i've got like -negative money]) or volunteering to take on some of the administrative headache of running the site.

There is a Axon WhatsApp chat, which was previously known as TSS x Revscene, hosted by KChan.

What kind of updates would you guys want, besides just opening the flood gates? Some of it may require upgrading to the newest vbulletin (especially if you want a more mobile friendly interface)

This would drastically change the interface and look here too

spoon.ek9 10-10-2024 08:23 PM

I'd love to have more emojis (aka the whatsapp ones we're all used to seeing). Also, the ability to react to posts would be nice (other than thanks and fails).

No to opening gates. No to new interface. No to change. Don't fix what ain't broken. People are welcome to create their own separate forum with hookers and cocaine if they'd like.

The younger generations don't use this ancient tech. The old folks who aren't already on here from before have no desire to join now. Opening the gates just leads to spam, scammers, and self proclaimed professionals/business owners trying to plug their products/services.

I like the idea of a closed community and see who's the last member standing decades from now.

Ditto.

I run a private vBulletin forum and was forced to upgrade for a variety of reasons. The moment the software was updated, posts and visits took a huge nose dive.

Forums like Rennlist etc. are just full of scammers who have devised clever ways of trying to swindle honest members. It's not fun having to deal with spam bots and scammers all day.

Sorry but “high end” and “AYCE sushi” are mutually exclusive… :p

That's what I was thinking too!

Maybe we could do reference registrations only, so if you current members know someone who wants to join (or may need to make a new account or something), you could send them an invite

Badhobz 10-11-2024 01:39 AM

That’s a good idea. I refuse to let goodhobz in. She’ll fucking derail all my shit

still waiting for my giant avatar for catching spammers in 2009

New spot opened up on #3. Never been but looks OK according to local YTer.

Badhobz 10-11-2024 06:33 AM

Yah that place is legit. Great quality for its price.

CivicBlues 10-11-2024 07:51 AM

How about some TFP? Temporary Foreign Posters? They can argue among themselves when we're all sleeping so when we login in the morning there's a lot more shitposting and name-calling to read.

1.Open up the floodgates
2.TFP
3.???
4.PROFIT!

Badhobz 10-11-2024 08:48 AM

Do you mean like a ton of Charles in charge ?!

What fun !

EvoFire 10-11-2024 09:44 AM

I think by referral sounds like a plan. But I highly doubt we are getting any new members anyways.

We can probably do away with some of the sections. For Sale section can probably just be combined into one as that gets no traffic now anyways.

I've been selling my collection over the past year on FB Marketplace so I'd use a BST thread for that. My stuff was mostly from 2014-2016 JDM / Euro cars.

I have Matchbox and American HWs to let go still, and I'll donate whatever's left near the end of the year.

spoon.ek9 10-11-2024 10:19 AM

We can always start a thread and see where it takes us :lol

My collection has been growing wildly over the past 2 years or so

One exception being folks who got banned for random reasons over the years. I know a guy who regularly brings up having been banned from Revscene for posting Tegra Girl lolol.

The referral idea fixes that though I think.

I have bought a few over the past year or two. usually when I hvae to run to store for diapers/something I'll take a quick peek at the hot wheels section and see if they have anything good.

Mostly 90's JDM cars, European, nice clean Exotics.
Yesterday I picked up a Mazda 787B.

Others include:
S2000
NSX
911 Carrera (964)
Mclaren F1
w126 560SEC amg
Bmw M5 (hotwheels premium)
w124 Mercedes 500E (premium and normal)
fd rx7
300zx twin turbo
fc rx7
nissan r390 gt1
porsche 944 turbo
88 honda crx

I've kept my child hood ones as well. Lots of great stuff there. F50, F355 Challenge, Countach, 190E, etc.

Yah my original account was banned for trolling. 2001Sentra was the username I believe.

What a great username. Not dating yourself at all
