What should we do with this section as nothing ever happens in here should we change it or leave it i was looking at some old threads and it looks like some people want to do something else
if any one has any suggestions let me know then i can take it to the next meeting and maybe do something else with this area as it is so boring ;36;36

Good idea MJ.
Since we are relatively small and most of the rest of the Forum site covers all our topics of discussion, we could use this area to say post ads for some of our sponsers. We could possibily canvas some more potential sponcers who might be more interested having there ads on a web site rather than just in a magazine. They will be getting more coverage being on the NET.
Site could be changed from "Other Club Activities" to say "Sponcers Advertising". Could rope in some more dollars for us.
As an example only, "Panthers" could sponcer us for a dollar fee, they get advertising space on our site, and we could credit back said dollars as part of our cost for the 2006 convention. Advertising would have to be set for a certain time length vs a certain cost etc etc, but maybe.............?
We use the space now. Why not see if we can get it to earn some money for us and help us out.
Just a thought.
[Don't know if there would be any conflict of interest at all.]

i think we want to keep it away from a sponsors controlled forum as it would be a conflict of interest to other suppliers and so on

Not a problem. It was just a thought.

Who's car in the new avata?
-
Hey how about a place were we can store some pictures of our cars? Or do we have that and I just cant see it for the trees? ;mmm
-
the car in the avatar is a 69 ZL1 the best car ever built in the world
i am thinking about a section called "THE GARAGE" and people could post there cars in there and ask for feed back and so on
-
-
i would love to do that but i don't think the others would agree though

Matt,
Good idea on the name if you go for a place to post pictures of vettes. :22
-
There are plenty of tasteful pics of girls and cars around for those who dislike the female form or who are batting for the other team.;27
-
just like cams avatar very nice and tasteful and no bodys got a problem pics like that i got no prob either and nobody's affended so we are all happy :{
-
Just to go one step further....instead of photos of your Vette what about small VIDEO CLIPS of your vette driving or burning tyres,draging etc! Just like in Digi Vettes. Only thing is that it takes up a lot of megabytes,so it would cost the club a bit.

Hey Matt. What comes up as my Avatar? I changed it some time ago to a smiley face. Is my old avatar, my red vette and daughter, still coming up?
Videos sound good too. [Especially ones with girls] :22:22:22

yeah your daughter with your vet still is showing
i think this is the most action this section has seen in a long time

Ok, press your refresh button to update your screen. I have my new avatar which is the same as on the dc site. It should be a big smiley face. On my computer it shows up. You occassionally need to refresh if your not synchronised to update your files. Often on the net you are actually looking at temp files stored on your computer from when you visited a web site before.
I always refresh when I go back on to a site.
Yeah it is busy now. If we don't do anything with pictures etc, may be this site could be for unrelated vette topics like the dc shark lounge. Just a place to talk sh-t. Like this.
The name you thought of before for the pictures would do "The Garage" or "Garage and Grill" or Coffee Shop" or something like that.
The main forum general area would be for vette related topics.
I think I'm repeating my self. Said this else where. Dooh!
Again just some input for you to play with. ;40

What, have we stalled in traffic already? So what are you thinking of doing? Come on wake up and do something. ;36 :22

Sooooooo. Any thoughts?
-
Let's try to steer away from the Yuppie Coffee Shop ideas otherwise we'll all end up sitting on some poofie footpath stools sipping double decafe lattes with our jumpers draped over our shoulders and discussing health club memberships instead of cubic inches! ;eek
-
;29 Fair enough. We have stalled in traffic again. So what are we/you, Matt, going to do with this area?. Andys idea of videos or pictures is good. Any new ideas?
-
Trying to keep this rolling is like pushing a square rock up hill.
Could we turn it into a chat room. You know live chat to discuss problems etc direct on line?
Just thoughts as they pop into my head. Seems a waste of space. [No, not my head this section.]

How many times have you followed an interesting thread to see how someone's engine or suspension buildup is progressing or checked a new post to discover that the owner of a similar model Corvette is relaying how they've researched some new parts to either repair or modify their cars?
Then you read on further to find out they've purchased some really cool parts for their car overseas....predominately from the US....and you wish to hell that you'd known that they were placing an order so you could have gotten in on the action as well!
We've all been there at least once right?
Well here's my proposition for this this section.
Any member who is considering placing an order to the US (or wherever) can post here letting others know of his intended purchase thus giving them the opportunity to get in on the deal as well. This way shipping costs can be at the very least halved and also there's always the opportunity of a discount on multiple orders.
I think something like this could benefit all concerned in our collective Corvette obsession.
Just a thought.

Sounds good Brutus!
-
That is the BEST idea I have heard. Bloody good thinking 99. So Brutus.....what do we call this section? Purchasing, Get on The Band Waggon, Who's In?, Shopping, Supermarket, The Shopping Trolley, etc,etc.

Opportunity Knocks?
Very Good. Quite clever.
I move that we do this and call it "Opportunity Knocks". Anyone to second it?
On this note, I'm going to Earls at silverwater tomorrow to pick up some fuel line fittings. Any one want me to check anything out while I'm there?
