The ***ALL NEW*** AUSubaru.com.au Forums

There's nothing sad about that... Why not get something on the go?

Otherwise I might have to put my hand up to sort out a fix up of the tech manual - my wife will love to hear this!!

You need to have administrative rights on the tech manual page to get the ball rolling.

which means getting in touch with either Stinky or the wiki admins and after a recent coversation with wikapedea I'm not in the mood.

EDIT after some mucking around with the internet wayback machine (no Joke) the information for the page is still cached

Wow nice find TOONGA! The link wasn't working when I first joined so I've never seen this.

*Edit* Ah, just found it's not all there though. Still pretty helpful

yeah it is just a cached snapshot of the url

this one from 2009 seems to be the last good shot before the page started to get hacked by people advertising penis pumps etc.

anyone care to spend a day copying and pasting this to word or powerpoint?

Stumbled across this thread whilst being keen to read up on a wiki during a slow day at work.
I notice this wiki is still down, is there another re-built somewhere or are we still relying on the web.archive to supply us?

While the archive is good it doesn't allow expansion and improvement of information?
I copied all the info I could retrieve from the archives and found it takes 78 pages in a word document to fill!

The final question to all is, is there another suba-wiki out there or are we stumped, and, would everyone here consider it a good thing if I were to re-make a wiki from the ashes of the old one so we could get it all up and running again?

tl;dr - Would it be good if I rebuilt the wiki? - I plan to make it user editable and updateable, but also moderatable too.

I would love to see it back-up and well organised, if that was achieved I would upload a full scan of the 1985-1992 L & XT series parts catalog...

Sounds like a good reason to do it to me! Time to collaborate all the skills and info here!

I figured it would be a good way to organise a heap of information and get me to read a lot and maybe learn something too. The more I read these threads the more fun it all is.

After some drinks at the pub I'll get it happening tonight at home.

Um - Sorry to say some of the old stuff is a goneski, although what could be revered from the original tech manual has now been translated to a new wiki page ... ausubaru.wikidot.com

Although it still has a lot of bits missing, I'm hoping to re-populate it with your assistance here ( although not a lot appears to be happening atm ) so have left it as is for now ...

You're welcome to add to it if deemed necessary ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

Well that sucks, Fucking Ruskis have been at it again : http://ausubaru.wikidot.com/start

Hopefully it all has been preserved & and will be back ...

Ciao, Bantum ...
