as some of you may or may not be aware i used to have an st but sold it in the summer.

anyway, as i logged on today there was a thread in the technical section about something to do with electricals. i cant remember what exactly, but i knew what the matter was.

so i try to write a reply to discover that i cant. i cant post in any of the site except here, unless i "donate" to scotty who to be honest doesnt exactly look hard up.

this site used to be great, but now its become "gimme money or flipping off"

sorry i couldnt help whoever it was.

be seeing you.

sorry that you feel that it is unaceptable for this but this is a great site and well worth the 5 pounds there asking for. most sites ask for more

are we really starting these petty arguements again????? seriously??


the money doesnt go into scotty's pocket as a bit of spare cash lol it goes towards the site and everything else such as banners flags etc and im also aware that there are costs to keep the site up and running which mostly comes out of his pocket.


as harper said on most other sites you HAVE to pay to join STOC is £10.

I don't usually comment on threads like this, but I'm sorry that you feel this way, Lukamon and you're very much entitled to your opinion. But very few things in life are "free" these days. Scotty and Co have been running this site for 5 years plus and do an excellent job, helping users in many ways. For example, I'm not very clued up re the technical aspects of the , however I'd trust the opinion of the guys on here before that of my local garage any day. You should never assume anyone's financial position (in this case Scotty's), and I'm sure you've spent far more than £5 on useless items in the past. This still is a great forum.

why is there always someone who has to have a sulk?? technical areas on some forums are not even viewable.. people can still gain info from this site without donations which is better than others..

I just donated £10 to become a site supporter - £10 which i feel could save me money one day when somebody on here could give me advice instead of me going to a garage and being ripped off.

each to there own i suppose!

my opinion - great site and friendly people

If you have a fish through this has been covered several times, and another thread the same isn't going to change anything

DO NOT JUDGE PEOPLE BY WHAT THEY HAVE WORKED AND SAVED HARD FOR!!!!!

For your information, Scott was unemployed for a long time, but with the help of Chris they still maintained the sites costs for all of you to use FREE of charge for a verrrrry long time.

Isn't it only fair that we try and put something into the site ourselves now.

£5.00...... FFS!! I need a flipping loan for that amount to donate!!!!

think he has the point now. obviously didnt appreciate the site enough to part with a small amount of money. fair enough some people cant afford to spare £5 but there is no need to go abusing the people who run the site because he has a nice car

yeah, it is a small amount of money tbh. anyone who cant afford to spare the odd £5 obviously went wrong somewhere in there life

but as for me, as i dont have the anymore i cant justify it. all i used the site for really is the odd wander in and out through the technical bit to see if anyone has any probs i might be able to help with.
