Haha, I totally forgot about this site, I actually registered there two years ago as "Lungor" and still active, but since I have never revisited and have posted nothing so I am now only a registered member and have NO viewing right, apparently if I would have posted 4 reviews in 3 months, I got to keep my free membership.............WTF. and now I have to pay USD$9.90 for 10 days!! and they only accept Mastercard.....................WTF again, which I am not using. So I guess I won't be buying the BRONZE membership.
Judging by the amount of shops advertising, they only have a handful on the front page (13 to be exact!!), so I guess AUS99 is doing much better, and since there is no restrictions on viewing posts, this forum is a lot more user friendly.
At first glance I thought they have a lot of visitors viewing (649!!) then I realised that it was over a 24 hr period.................WTF.
To compare apple with apple, right this very moment:
AUS99 has 159 viewers on line, 27 members and 132 guests, and
AUXXXReviews has 147 viewer on line, 73 members and 74 guests
Their peak viewing was 302 on 28 April 2011, and over here at
AUS99 was 283 on 31 May 2012
Verdict: they could not break a 13 months old record and that record was only 19 more viewers than this forum and this forum is growing, so I think AUS99 is in very good shape. But I have to be honest, they seem to have a lot more threads and posts (disadvantage we have here because we lost almost everything from the old forum except a few jewels), and I will need to go inside to take a closer look for a full assessment. But without a doubt, AUS99 is a lot more user friendly, and all guests are welcome for free viewing..........Haha
Any brother care to share your log on there with me (PM) so that I can go there for a closer look see. I did see quite a few familiar names there........lol
Cheers
ps. that website looks almost exactly the same as this, same web template I guess!!
just my 2 cents
