Has anybody else seen the little write up about this site in the latest magazine?
Has a section on all different car forums on it, for Subaru they have rexnet, Ozliberty, ozfoz and Ausubaru.

For this one it says: " need help troubleshooting your brumby's problems? Or prehaps itching to import a Subaru Vigo rxr? Pay a visit to AuSubaru.com, a general forum dedicated to the love of all things Scooby. If you need to find info on an obscure model this is the place to go"

Obscure? More like older. They need to review the forums in greater detail. Did they mentioned that Rexnet is full of morons?

...and that OzLiberty fell in a big heap when (they) changed the forum program from vBulletin to something else. The members called for it to change back, but the staunch moderaters said no, no, no. And what was a very active forum became a ghost town.

Same as GTRydaz.com (forester site) that was the largest forester comunity until they "upgraded" the site. GTRydaz and OZLiberty are both owned by the same dude i think

My old log in for GTRydaz still works, but I wanted to start a new account so that I could change the user name... $50 for membership! I guess it scares off the posers?

I'll drop into OzLiberty again sometime when I've got the chance.

Thanks for the heads up!

...so Hot 4s...

I used to buy it, but it was getting too much about the show, then they lost the plot big time when they did the format change and tried to make it too much about youth culture, T&A and fashion with the common interest of cars as an after thought. It took six months before the staff were sacked and it went back to being about the cars. Unfortunately I've been dissappointed too many times by the lack of engineering pieces. So now I flick through Fast Fours or Zoom before I put my hard earned down for a copy.

ps. I also buy 4WD monthly to remind myself how much people are willing to part with and why I drive a Subaru Offroad.
