I've said before that I believed that Focus Canada was a car club when I "joined", and by joining I mean registering for the board. It always felt weird to me to consider Focus Canada a car club, but I had believed it was indeed possible... I was the minority member from North Bay, and I struggled to get other members from the area as being "just me" on the forums and around North Bay got boring in a hurry. Thankfully Oscar TG and ThraxXx were converted in a hurry :)

Agian, I guess it's MY mistake. I've gone and mistaken FC.net for a car club. We're a gathering of Focus owners and something of an online community. We share knowledge, opinions, and Anthony's mad PS skills.

I'm sorry you feel this way Adam. I beleive were a very closely knit car club if anything. Where else are you going to build a Turbo kit from scratch, Have it running and doing long drives in less than 36 hours. :huh: ;)

What about all the installs you did on your car? It wasn't Andthony's PS skills that gave you that information ;)

Quote:What would I do? Create regional chapters in the forum. Appoint mods for each chapter, with obviously cross-over responsibilities in case someone is sick / on vacation, etc.

This idea was brought up before you joined.

As mentioned, we do not have the populace to have seperate forums right now. We would need more than 20 regular posters to make this idea succesful. I'm down with regional forums as it would make it feel more like 'home' but as said...we just dont have that kind of membership.

Mod for each chapter? All 20 of our regular posters would be mods then :lol:, Imagine the EDITING/SARCASM that would go on.

Quote:Within each regional forum, have FS/WTB forums, a G2G forum, and a local sponsor forum wherein the regional sponsor could do as Mitch does now. Simplify the entire Sponsor Forum to one sub-forum from the current three... it's too busy.

We have enuff issues/bickering about the current for Sale section, we do not need 10 more.

Quote:Have one Focus Talk forum, and one OT forum for the entire FocusCanada community as it is right now. The OT forum should be left alone, and everything within should be assumed as NSFW.

Agreed

Quote:Keep the Site Suggestions / Issues forum. Make it easier to have members' rides featured on the front landing page. If nothing else, have a FF.com-ish Monthly Featured Ride contest, featuring 3 winners. I'm sure other members would come together on this.

Strongly agree, especially with the ride of the month idea!!

Quote:Appoint members to work on other FC apparel and vinyls. The initial stuff is great, I'm not kidding, but more variety too could be appealing to others. Again, I'm sure others wouldn't mind.

I have a focuscanada.net sticker on my laptop. No sticker or vinyl will ever get near my car. :ph34r: :P

But its a good idea for the shows for others that will rice their car. :P :lol:
