SCS Help Wanted!!!

[Wolfpack Speed]

I am looking for some help running/promoting Steel City Stangs! Since taking ownership of the site I have pretty much done what I initially wanted to do, but IMO there is much more potential for the site. I am looking for an established member(s) that will help moderate the forum, but I also would like that person(s) to head up organizing the activitys this forum is desperately missing, such as...

Dyno Day
Car Show
Poker Run
Cristmas Party

etc...

This forum is full of great people, I know forums are becoming a thing of the past with social media and all but it's still a nice outlet to bing the tri state area enthusiasts together. With a little bit of help and effort from some established members, I really think we can make SCS an even better resource than it already is!

Anyone who is interested in helping out in any way, feel free to reply to this thread or use the contact us form to reach out to me. Also, any members who have suggestions or comments regarding the future of the forum, feel free to use this thread to speak your mind!

Thanks!

Mike

I would love to help Mike. You helped me out big time last year with my Mustang under a time crunch,
it's the least I could do.

It seems SCS has been a little slow lately. I guess it's because of the social media.:-(

[Terminated]

IMO I don't come on much because of things like this. There are no meets, dyno days or cruises listed. I feel like that may be why others do the same. Not as active as it once was. This is a good memory for a lot of people who used to frequent a lot. If you build it, they will come back.

I'm here for ya.

Thanks, I will be in touch!

I agree completely. When we did do stuff like that it was always fun and had a positive affect. I'm not a forum guy anymore and I just don't have the time to be honest. Thats the point of this thread, if I can find a few guys that want to take the forum over and get these events going, it will be a better place for everyone!

I'm here for ya.

Thanks bud, I will be in touch!

Im always willing to help out with whatever. It was a lot of fun when we had dyno days at your place! Let me know what you need. I am always on here.

[SonofaBish]

IMHO, the reason its not as active as it used to be has nothing to do with you Mike - its because there's no more drama...... and no i'm not kidding, just being real..... Tons of people complained that there was too much drama and why can't everyone just get along.... kumbaya...

That's when all of the activity left this place... don't me wrong, there were people on here (that have most likely been perma-banned) that I didn't like as much as anyone else, but that's what made you keep coming back.... sometimes you just wanted to see what some jacka** had to say and what kind of crap he was stirring up.....

Now its just a bunch of mustang-leg-humping guys that swear they'd say turn down someone giving them a 458 Italia, and would rather keep their Termi..... If someone would post up that they bought a brand new AMG Mercedes, there would be 4 replies .... if they post up they just bought a '98 V6 Mustang, they get 45 replies of "OMG - SWEET CAR.... that's F****ING GORGEOUS".... in generic terms, its not a 'car' enthusiasts website, which despite never owning a mustang, is why i joined it back in 2005.... there was a lot of diversity. When nearly everyone here has the same narrow-minded views, whats' the need to post replies and get invovled in conversation?

Don't get me wrong, i know its a mustang site, so what should i possibly expect, right? Just giving my thoughts on why there's no action any more. I still check out the forum almost every day - but there's rarely anything worth commenting on..... and i mean no ill comment toward you Mike - i think you're a great guy, and that nothing you have done has caused this - it began long before you bought the site......

edit: that being said, i think i got away from the main intention of your post - so for that i apologize. You can trim this note if you like

I definitely would be up for this but me being so far away I wouldn't be able to help as much, but this site used to be crazy busy with Alot of frequent members. Imo

Get the SCS cruise back together twice a year. One when everyone gets there cars out and one before they put them away.

Prp track day. Not so much rent the track but pick a tnt to have everyone show up to.

Have a meet at a park or camp ground where people can bring food and family and have an afternoon of it.

Dyno day of course.. not sure where, maybe talk to the owner of wolfpack he may be able to help haha

Also get "business cards" made up to help promote the site. Have members take them to car shows, track or other vehicle events. Streetlethalracing local forum here does that and it helped out because Alot of people don't really know about forums ever since fb has a group for everything.

Christmas party I went to the one a while ago and it was nice.

Also try to find a place and host a scs car show/cruise. We did one a while ago but I forget where it was but remember putting 12 cars on viper eds 03 cobra and cruising up with everyone. That will also help get the name out.

And honestly try to stress that all cars are welcomed I understand that it is a mustang site but if you want it to grow and be big again then you gotta try to include them. He'll half people on this site now don't even own a mustang. Lol. Don't have to change the name just make sure people know.

Take it for what it is, I'm just a new guy

[no1sirbutler]

I would be willing to help out with the things listed. Might even be able to help get the word out through northern WV.

Less detailing ...more racing

[scott5]

Truth.. and Bish is kinda right. Alot of the reason I go on any forum is the funny and drama. I agree some moderation is needed but drama draws people. Hate to say it but true. Here it's talk crap, meet up with cash and run what ya bring, video tape and put on site and talk crap more. It a entertaining

[Terminated]

For the record, I would give up my Cobra for a 458... just sayin

[1320goat]

Drama on forums might be entertaining for people without lives. But there are a lot of people who aren't into that. As many people that love drama here, there's just as many that don't care for it.

So you rather have 3 posts a day about putting ventshades on and 16 threads about hey I washed my car today. When there was drama this page would have 5 new PAGES of new posts a day and sometimes a couple times a day. The second it went away I didn't get on here for ATLEAST 6 months and I come back and hit new posts and there was 5 pages TOTAL in 6 months and usually the same 4 people posting about nothing.

[scott5]

the three most popular car forums on the interwebz are mostly about drama and car videos. Post a car vid everyone starts talking crap and its entertaining which draws people to read it and comment. That's why they are the 3 most popular. I am not saying all drama but to get any type of "tech" or know how in here you need people. I have been a part of this site for a very very long time and was around before the crash and everything got reset and there were numerous upon numerous people in here that fed that drama (then raced and not talked about it) and there was a lot more tech as well. You could actually ask a question and get 20 replies from numerous people who had a lot of experience. now this site just doesn't have it

Only if it didn't have the stupid paddle shifters

[Monkeygrits]

I'm all in for putting some cards or pamphlets in mustangs when we go to cruises/shows on the SW corner of Pa/Western Md. We probably go to a cruises at least twice a month.

[95V6]

I don't see anything wrong with posting pictures of a freshly washed or detailed mustang etc. I take pride in my vehicals and Im not going to have them look like crap.The less detailing more racing argument gets old. I'm here because I'm proud of my car and I like talking with other like minded people. Not everyone has the funds or means to race their car every weekend. That BS turned me away from the site for awhile. But that's just me.

[gmkillr]

Some of you pansies need to hang up the keyboard and get your butts to the track! When there's racing going on there's always something to talk about. Theres only a small handful of guys here that ive ever seen at the track.

Some guys here talk about racing but ive never seen them at the track racing in my life.....lol

I think a name change would definitely draw in more traffic/members as most people that dont have Mustang wont ever waste their time joining here and posting as they probably assume that only Mustang owners are welcome.
