    I noticed these blokes are still taking information from this site on the there detroit thread.
    I am so cranky.
    If they were more open in club thinking I would be helping them instead of hating them more.
    They have more 101s over there and information/parts yet this little sub site of Aulro seems to get things sorted and helps as friends instead of being so narrow in thinking.

    Yes.
    I thought that was more than a little cheeky.
    Their posting rate is down a lot too.
    Not a very dynamic forum now.
    Sad really. A true example of "Cutting off the nose in spite of the face."

    Since leaving that site I have never been back so have no idea what is happening over there. Did anything come up on this issue at the October AGM?

    Oh by they way they are claiming copyright on anything posted up on their forum so in their view they can use information on there as they see fit - hence using older Detroit information.

    But Gary, they are linking directly to the AULRO website.

    Some time ago, I posted something that upset a few of them. I was sent a few PM's that gave me the impression they wanted me to keep my opinion to myself. In amongst those PM's, there was one that suggested a large proportion of the club were "handbags". I was not familiar with the term, but after recent events, my understanding of the term is becoming more and more succinct.

    G'day guys,
    Yes haven't seen anything about the AGM yet. They'll probably save it for the mag. I must admit i got the detroit thread rolling again, cause mine arrived in the mail. Although most of the useful info is from Ron. To tell the truth I bought the diff based on your positive comments , Ron..

    Having joined in August when I bought the 101, I hope things improve on the forum, I still come here when I have an issue.

    I still will put through a formal request to reopen the forum, just havent got around to it yet.

    Paul

    Not heard of that one either Mick.
    Urban Dictionary: handbag

    I presume it is definition #6

    Not quite Sleeps. The definition I'm beginning to understand aint there.
    I typed more but deleted it. I might have upset some of them.
    Now that they're linking to AULRO, I must be careful. I don't want another barrage of hate PM's.
    Mind you, not all are like that. I've made a few good friends on various UK sites, some of them were or are members of the 101 club..

    Ahhh the internet, you "meet" a helluva lot of great people that you may have never met otherwise. Unfortunately, when you throw out a large net........

    I take the term 'handbag' in this context is a 'hanger on' - someone who takes information but does not contribute - certainly not a term I would apply to Aust members (ex) of the 101 Club.

    I have no issues them referencing our posts - we certainly do it with other internet references.

    Mick, as far as narky PMs go - that is not allowed on the 101 Forum (and certainly not permitted on AULRO) - if aggrieved I would be reporting the forum administrators demanding action
