more get-togethers............
the whole point for a local forum is to take advantage of living near-by.....aka....get-togethers, and classifieds.
and since we already have a good classifieds section, no need to make a change there IMO.

Change the name so the site isn't Mustang specific and a NSFW section would be nice, maybe make it so only members with 1000+ posts can view it?
More tech, more car related stuff, dyno days, meets, Christmas parties, drag strip rentals, etc......

Could be incentive for members to post more to keep the forum more active?
More posts, more threads, more traffic, = good for the site?

I agree^ I don't post often on here. I think I have 400 posts in like 3-4 years
I'd like to see the sponsors involved more, possiblely offer some sort of discount to use their products or services. For example like T does at Autoality for forum members. I realize sponsors pay to be here but I think it would be nice.

guys who have asked about calendar
there is one, it is pretty basic but it works and let's you add events
The dyno days would be nice, I wouldn't really be able to participate as I have 4 wheels on the back of my powerhouse. But the shop hosting would need to offer a competitive and attractive rate. BUT...the vehicle owner would need to know its just a fun day and not a tuning session.

A subforum that the Ford Focus would fit under. Maybe generalize the foreign forum?
A general Forced Induction subforum.
A Tuning subforum (such as the SCT Pro Racer Package, etc.)
IF I have time I'd certainly be up for a dyno day and drag racing meets this year. I'd love to see what the turbo Focus will put down after I tune it.
Anyone thought of ways of advertising the site? Getting the word out?
Obvously it will be easy in the warmer weather months at shows, races ect to do fliers, banners or signs. It all comes down to how much you guys want to go with this. I'm not going to waste my time if no one cares or shows up to an event.
Also, I feel like it's only a matter of time before assholes start joining. As we are now going to open it up to god knows what. I think that the rules and moderation should be known. i dont think this should become a free for all just to get traffc. I also think you should be atleast 18
to join if thats not already an option. Also, I don't even know who the moderators are any more. I would also like to nominate PaxtonShelby (Ron) to be a moderator if I could. He is a great guy, very knowledgeable and helpful. I think we all could agree on that. And no one has ever had beef or an issue with him. Id say he is a great representive to this forum. Just my 2 cents.

Not necessary. I have a 13 year old son who behaves wonderfully online (at least when I am watching..LOL)

When you hit new posts, it beings those up. At the end of the thread title there is a green circle with a check in it. That shows threads you post in.
