Goodonya Rossco, thanks for coming across.

Hey Brian yeh sorry about, I have been working away a lot over the last 8 years, had enough being away, you can miss so much. Back on track now, enjoying getting back into forums again and my builds. Lifes too short..

I have noticed a few new members signing up with their email address as their user name. I doubt this is on purpose and if you would like this changed, feel free to send me a private message and I will fix it for you.

Thank you for the new forum. When I was admin on Patrol4x4.com we had a similar issue, we tried to buy the forum but the owner ended up selling it to Autoguide. At least the forum is still going.

One thing that has been noted over this weekend at Old Bar Beach Festival was that there are still a lot of people that had the old Kombi Club stickers on their kombis but had no idea this forum had been set up - when asked if they would like to buy a new sticker for this forum, they mentioned that they found they could not get in to the website - not realising that the old forum was gone and this was the replacement.
If by chance you come across someone that has the old sticker and not a new one then just ask if they have joined up. We were unable to send an email to every member of the old forum before it shut down and if they don't use Facebook, and a lot of people don't, then we didn't have a way of letting them know.
