    What Do .net Do Differently?

    in Scottish Scoobies

    I never mentioned that kim, its obvious that you are a grudge holder and feel the need to drag stuff up to assert authority, sorry but my respect has to be earned not granted freely,

    I hold no grudges Scott, life is far too short, it was in fact you who brought up the subject of warnings and bans. No body has been banned from SIDC for a few years. All warnings recently are totally justified.

    A point I must add is that many people have stopped posting here for fear of warning or bans because the banter is not understood due to it being scottish slang

    Your warning was for a duplicate profile which was created solely to be used for flaming threads & discussions and trolling the forum, in which you pointed out it was to "wind Chris up".

    I'd like to address all comments posted by Eddie that mention the current "Chair" of the club so I'll quote and reply inline.

    I have been in the chair now for over a year and i can categorically say that i have never been contacted by any SIDC head staff about bringing the two clubs together, a few members and an RO contacted us about sorting joint meets and they kind of fizzled to nothing. we have the charity day next month which we are happy to attend and support which may be a start.

    I personally contacted Frenchy about sorting the relationship between the two clubs which was not met with any sort of interaction, the jist i received was we are SIDC, what do you propose to how you will better the relationship.

    Your first contact made with the club was with Andy on Sat 28th July 2012 - email subject was "Domain Registration, Scottishscoobies.co.uk" in which you enquired as to if we would be renewing the domain. If we weren't then you'd like to "purchase the name to go along with the .net and .org addresses".

    You received a bounce back from Andy's email address, you the contacted John S who responded to you on the same day to advise that I would be the best person I deal with your query. I replied on the 10th August firstly apologising for the tardy response and advising you that we would in fact be renewing the domain.

    I stated in my email to you that I would in fact like to see SIDC/.net form a relationship and yes, I asked you to have a think about how best to move forward with this. You acknowledged my apology and went straight into "So to get down to it. We are looking to secure the Scottishscoobies family of addresses".

    Not the best way of attempting to "build relationships" don't you think?

    I also offered my services when you were going through your current transition where the site was down, was more snubbed than acknowledged.

    You emailed me on the 11th April 2013 - subject "Domain Registration, scottishscoobies.co.uk" offering assistance with our forum/website issues. At which point I replied on the 13th April thanking you for your offer and explaining our issues. How is that snubbing you? Surely you can understand the importance of safe guarding our website/forum/database content and information. We have a not so great host who we pay to deal with this and have done for a number of years and are in the process of securing a new host. We also have stum450n and ScoUK who assist with the maintenance of the databases and servers our side of things.

    I personally do not know the history of the rivalry between SIDC/.net so I can not comment on this issues raised. However, these types of posts do not help to improve situations.

    This is the second or third time you've mentioned these contacts with me in various threads and whilst you see it as "not cooperating or snubbing you", I personally do not feel that your contact with me has been in relation to "building relationships" between the two clubs. I am a patient and approachable person and am willing to help anyone out where I can but I cannot do everything for this club which is why we have a Committee, Regional Organisers and Moderators to all work together. I certainly won't make decisions that will reduce member numbers and traffic away from SIDC to another site for the sake of £12. I will do whatever I can to protect our members, their data and the future of this club and if that means "snubbing you" then so be it.

    Front Lip/spoiler

    I'm after a front lip/spoiler for my hawk. I wondered if anyone had one of these fitted from Scoobyparts and what they thought of the quality?My link

    HT Autos sell one much like that as well.Got one on my T20 and its fine, fits perfect.They were doing free shipping when I got minehttp://subaru-impreza-body-kits.co.uk/splitter-front-lip-spoilers_3.html#

    HT Autos supply to ScoobyParts so effectively it's the same spoiler. ScoobyParts tend to supply it with a different badge to HT Autos. I've got one on my blob from them, good quality and fit.

    :)
