Constant retail posts in the recent threads box is one of the areas that attracts a lot of complaints.
Maybe if retailers would stop constantly bumping their threads into the recent threads box there wouldn't be a need for change, also we now have a plethora of "members" requesting retailer status and pretty soon that's all you will see in the new posts area.

All the retailers will still get their exposure the only difference is they won't be shoving it down our throats every time they make a tiny change on their website or start stocking fermenter grommets, they will have their own area to post their wares in that won't be linked to the recent threads box and members can peruse the retail section at their leisure.
Site sponsors will be given a little more exposure, but then why shouldn't they, after all they support the site financially which keeps the place running.
 
Just for clarity, did the statement that "free" retailer posting was ending not mean that retailers would need to pay to post? I'd like to hear a bit more description of how it is to happen if possible.
 
Any retailer wishing to get clarification is welcome and encouraged to contact Austin, and I am sure he will be making a general announcement when all the details are ironed out.

I suspect theres a correlation between the volume of pornography I've filtered through the lenses of my peepers, the subsequent wanking and the old wives tale.
Cruelly ironic as MILF is my preferred genre of the artform.

I plan to submit a Ph.D on the topic.
Soon as I find out what Ph.D means.

what about normal members who wish to get clarification?
 
As stated before, a general announcement will be forthcoming with details on the new retailer settings, having said that, details of sponsorship and retailer status is confidential between retailers, sponsors and the site owner.

you know it would be a better idea to get all the details sorted FIRST, before making announcements...

Stops people wondering/questioning/making their own assumptions...

Kranky. Its bloody hard to buy an HD set-top box with HDD. Every TV these days has a built in tuner. Mine doesnt. Bought it when 1080 was relatively new to the average household. Nice SONY Bravia, so no need to change it. Original set-top finally packed it in. Needed a new one.
Everything is either set-top only, no recording or set-top DVD/Blu-ray.
Finally found what I need online from Kogan. Paid the acceptable price. Gets delivered at what I rate as the latest possible timeframe before follow up.
Use it for 2 months. Our area has that whole DTV frequency redistribution thing happening on day 0. Day 1 comes and there is no picture, as to be expected. Press menu to do the re-tune. Nothing. Fxckin thing has had the driver pack it in according to the help chat. Now I have to send it to Melbourne for inspection and they will replace it if they find a fault. I said it seems a bit strange that it is at exactly when the DTV channels changed. Our other TV with a built in tuner had no picture at exactly the same time and I just re-tuned that. Co-incidence he said..

What? You couldn't find a PVR?

Single or twin tuner. 300gig to 1TB hard drives. Less than $200 to $500.

See here and here.
 
I went to BigW and bought a $25 set top box. Records TV to an externall USB drive and plays musiv and .avi movies. Best bang for your buck.

Sure, I could find them in Harvey Norman for >$400. We dont have JB Hi-Fi around here. Hence why I bought online and Kogan was cheaper than all those you linked, with the right specs. Just shit itself which is why I was ranting.
 
Rugby League. Fucks me how I ever let this game make/ruin my week. Here's how it goes, for AFL followers(I may yet join you lot) or the truly smart who just ignore all this crap to begin with.
80%- one bloke gets the ball runs up to three blokes and they all have a nice hug. One of them then runs away, don't ask why, its the rules. The rest of them then get on the ground and writhe around there for a while, no doubt saying and thinking things like, "man you got big guns, how much do you press?" And stuff like, "who does your ink?" And possibly also, "wonder when the next Skit mix CD is out." Continually repeat.
15%- Two weasels in pink or yellow shiny shirts trying to adjudicate the mess but have no idea how because the rules change every year just as they only just learned the last ones.
5%- Some athletic skill and ability that in NSW and QLD was once known as "footy."
