Since membership fees are now being introduced for this club, I'm wondering if it's worth me paying and staying here as well as my other main club as most members on here seem to be common to the other club I'm a member of. I'm assuming the forum will be blocked to non-members at some stage.
This isn't me being a freeloader or being mean. I always try to give back to a community as well as take by actively posting what I think is useful information.

Well I am also a member of a certain other Gt Owners Club, and in all truthfulness I will not be renewing my membership there. I have been involved in more than a few clubs in my 36years and that 'other club' is easily the most useless thing since the Pope's ding-a-ling. (God bless him). So the GT4ec will get my membership from here on out if only for the helpfulness of their admin team.
-
I have to admit, not being a gt4 owner i only visit the site occasionally to catch up with my brother and see if anything interesting is happening.
Compared to our RSOC or rs-maina sites this site is very very quiet but in comparison to another gt4 oc website i have seen the people on here are more helpful and I think that you should push forward and start going to more shows and be a bigger uk based club.
LateRS all...

i look and often post wider a field. besides reguarly posting on the 3 UK GT-Four clubs. i am frequently on the austrailain, USA clubs and also the main UK and international MR2 clubs. there is lots of 3sgte tunning knowledge out there !
-
Big up this club for its honesty.. gets my vote.!
-
I'm paid up here already and intend to 'mutter' on for the foreseeable future. (sorry!)
I like the attitude and the 'closeness' of this site.
I do not have a lot to give but will help any newbie up to my low level of understanding because I've been there before and know how they feel!
I also am staying on the OC as I never was involved in the ? wrongdoings? that were alleged. I like their new 'openness' now and their large following of newcomers which is good for a laugh and many repeat posts!!! One day this site may exceed their post counts but I hope they are not meaningless and are specific for the enthusiast and not just the owners!
-
carefull jeff.. that almost made sense.! ;D
-
I was a member of the OC but left at the same time as a number of people on here.I know a large number of members on here and all are friendly and helpful, so this remains my home. Big UP ;)
-
I landed in the OC just after the last 'unpleasantness' and so missed out on one half of the story. I then managed to alienate myself by becoming friendly with exactly the wrong people. (I have a few nicely worded pm's from some of the mods saved to file.) I would be eternally grateful if someone here would fill me in on what exactly did happen, maybe by PM to prevent any more ill-feelings?
Cheers.

As someone who posts here, there and indeed everywhere (being another marque ;) ) Please, please let's not see this post degenerate into an inter club slanging match. Don't get me wrong, I'm not taking sides and indeed in most cases don't know the specifics. However, there is a fair amount of crossover between members and if one club doesn't suit you, for whatever reason, then another will.

i love all 3 clubs ;D
-
im not a fully paid member here and i visit infrequently to see whats happening but im a member of a couple of other clubs too.
and tbh this kinda talk could kinda put a new member/potential member/exsisting member off a forum like this thats only just started up.
each club has its good points and i would imagine when the time comes to pay for full membership i shall pay up.as its a good place to come and read up even if its on an infrequent basis.
personally im surprised the mods on here have allowed this to continue without removal or a word in the right direction but hey its only an opinion i suppose.
all i can say is ive not seen anything against this or any other club come to think of it posted on any other club site so why here??????
axe to grind i suppose????
imo its just bringing a club downwards and backwards and not letting it move forward and upwards.
-
There's no anymosity (sp?) between clubs at all.
As we all know there are 3 main clubs that cater for the GT4.
They all however cater in different ways ;)
The choice of which club the individual 'joins' is entirely (sp?) (<<<Brains not in gear yet :o) up to their own personal preference.
We're not here to tell you how great we are and how bad the 'others' are because we all have a common interest...the great GT4. 8)
So in that sense...we are all as equal as the other in terms of 'club' manship ;) 8)
-
as a non-gt4 owner i come on here to see if there is any useful info and to catch up with freinds.
i like the atmosphere on here as 'some' forums can be a little up their own ass.
-
I find I only have time to read the posts from one club and this is the one for me ;D Saying that all 3 clubs are keeping fours alive and are full of some top class people.
On a minus point I do find some of the jokes on the site to be some of the worse ever,keep them coming :D
-
...i before e except after c Gaz :)
Welcome back Doc. Germany good?

There are only two people tell cr*p jokes on this site Gareth, and you're both of them ;D
-
Thanks for the welcome back Jeff and yes it was very good 8)

I see your point - its kinda taken off whilst most of us were away in germany :)
All please try to keep comments to the actual poll rather than letting it degenerate into something that has to be locked or moved :)
For the record... I love it here :). I occasionally troll other forums but this takes most of my time ;D
-
Well, I may say I'm more than happy here. A great bunch of people with many great ideas and posts. I understand that, occasionally, there will be personal clashes tho I suppose this will occur in any part of life. The majority of people will enjoy the club for the majority of the time, and we as the staff will always be available to help out, where possible.
Cheers
-
hehehehe bet you were all dreading me posting up :D
But.............. I love it here. All the good fellows are here. The ones that really counted and weren't there to be secretive or rip anyone off.
I am currently a member of another site but that will expire in September and I will be making the change over to here and saving some money. I would much rather put my money into a Club that can not make a profit instead of a LTD company. That was the decider for me.
Unfortunately for you lot that means a lot more of me around :D
-
I'm off to the OC.... ;D :D
-
i'm a member of a few clubs but mostly modified forums not dedicated to one specific model, i am a member of another forum but i'm a non paying member in that instance

Maybe I speak a different version of english, but I haven't seen a single bad comment towards this club on this thread. Maybe you could point them out for me.
I thought I explained the reason for the poll at the start - So I could find out if i'm going to spend an extra £12 / year and time talking to the same people on the same topics.
If this thread is a problem to the mods, please erase it as I think I have my answer already.

thats andy s dream... to get his head up his own ass.!
-
3. odd p a day and your worried???
-
Ok, As of last night I am no longer a member of another Celica 'owners club'. Apparently my membership has been revoked for rocking the boat, I'm devastated, and won't be over it until way after breakfast.
So, can I change my vote?
-
as has been said the 3 clubs cater for differing audiences, there have been some good bonds created between the clubs and personally id like to see this grow in future.
p.s.;
bazza, your membership was revoked as you were offered a refund, which you took
trouble, gt4oc is ltd yes, but it is ltd by guarantee, which means no share holders, and no-one to make a profit :)
-
This is the only English GT4 forum I post on:D
Do read the DC forum (only tech stuff)
Got my own celica club in Holland ..www.celicas.eu..
-
Folks this forum is set up for the love of a piece of japanese machinery and not for the little mindedness of people who are going to bring this good clubs name into disrepute..... please try and keep to the topic of the thread...... as opinions on other issues will not be frowned upon too well by the staff here......
-
Sorry to hi-jack the thread.
When is the site moving to pay per view?
Who do I pay?
Can I pay my local admin representitive?
-
1 At the next staff meeting thi wil be decided and it is coming shortly
2 Cee
3 Pay me all you want
You can email ceegt4@hotmail.co.uk for form :)
You can download a membership form in the club section and send a cheque or a PO order and then a membership pack will sent to you and if your lucky you'll get a fridge magnet hehe

I`m a member of 3 celica clubs, I find each of them very different but value my membership of each for different reasons, my friendship with certain club members keeps me here...as well as Cee`s jokes, although a little slow at times, i hope for big things for the EC as i helped create this place and have a certain fondness towards it. For the sake of £1 a month I think its well worth being a member of the EC, I think it has a certain appeal that is lacking on the internet and as mentioned a closeness that makes this place more like a family than anything else. I look forward to the future.
