And had I known that, I wouldn't have tried to become so involved.
I do concede the point that I've learned a lot from here. In fact, I've said that elsewhere too. THAT makes this more of a club. The How-Tos make this something of a club, in my eyes. Otherwise it's a piss-and-moan forum and we all just drive the same cars.
Nate - keep the single FS / WTB forum then. I agree it's more administration, but figured that it might be easier to locate products in your area. Shipping is cheap these days, so that might negate the benefits.
Puppet - I try not to take everything so seriously, but when I keep getting shouted down like crazy over something as simple as a "recognized member / donor" idea - it becomes infuriating.
Also, I'd be willing to sponsor a contest that operates as Nate's Stanley Cup pool did... something shipped to the winner. Now we need something to base it around.
Only problem is I can't come up with much in terms of car parts... but I can do computer stuff :D
What about a bi-monthly / quarterly contest by our sponsor(s) for something fairly inexpensive that involves active member involvement? It would spur interest and increase active membership. Also, what about a new "member" drive that allows you to be entered into said type of contest if you register 3 new members? The only downside to this is the possible fraud of not actually registering new people.
Just some more stuff I've come up with.
