I just got this sent to me on an email when this member signed up....
Burn in hell.
How do you expect someone to post 25replys when all they want is a manual to fix their bloody car, thanks for wasting my time.
karma.
Pretty damn harsh I think....Also, why do I deserve Karma? What is the actual Karma going on???
I know we have been through this a thousand times. Here is my reply below for new members anyway so they understand.
When I get back from the meet up I will do a proper sticky on the manuals section or a big link somewhere on the forum so every new member can see it and understand the rules and why before they sign up, etc....So they are not "wasting their time"...

That's a bit harsh.
I run this forum for free and make no money off it. I used to have the manuals for free and the amount of people who would come on board, sign up, download and piss off again was incredible.
I ended up paying $250 a month to keep the forum going and I simply could not afford to keep this forum running like that with a young family and single average wage.
This was the only way to restrict the downloads to enable me to keep the forum running for free.
That really hurts mate, thanks!!!
AB, some people think the world owes them everything in their hand without having to do anything. I hope you banned him and told him to go buy a Land Rover.
thats a shame mate we all found this site wanting info on our rigs some go but most of us have stayedQuote:

Exactly right.Quote:

Don't let it get to you AB, you're doing a great job keeping this forum running and we all thank you for it.

Getting 25 posts is really not that hard.
Hopefully when the new users start posting, they will find this is the best forum on the net :D
That's why I stayed.
Isn't it sad that it's mostly the minority that spoil it for the majority?
Of the 500 things we do, somebody always remembers the one thing we don't do, or that one mistake we make, and coincidentally, always manages to drag it back up at a time that puts you in a spot?
I've been a "yes" man nearly all my life, and have recently started saying "no." Mind you, it's always for a good reason and really, I don't have to justify myself to anybody, except the wife. lol
Andy, you're doing a brilliant job on this forum and none of us will never know or fully understand how positive you've influenced so many lives since bringing Nissan Patrols into our homes - at an affordable price!
It's forged friendships, wisdom, knowledge and 'power' in many aspects. Testimony to this, is the amount of 'reads' some threads have. A couple are surging towards 300,000 reads. I'm happy with that.
Maybe have a "terms and conditions" tick a box when signing up. That way, everything is as clear as rainwater - transparent, with no hidden secrets - not that there was, anyway.
Many of us know some newbees hammer that keyboard, and in less than 15 minutes, have access to a manual. I applaud these people. It's not that hard.
I'd feel absolutely sh@t on reading comments like the one you have posted. It does hurt, but time will heal. Most of us know you have put your heart and soul into this Forum - thank you.
Take care out there.

Keep doing what you are doing Andy, we all enjoy your work. Thats a great thing.
When Mr Turkey opened the manual section I wonder what he would have said if manuals were $25.00 or free after 25 posts?
Ynot and Plassy and Muddy and Ferret and heaps of others are way better than any manual...
