Thread: Who is the new admin?

FUCK YEA DUDE! this is starting to take off much faster than i could even fathom! and to think i was scared we would all end up in a (no offence) crappy low rent forum that no vendor would even consider being on!


I LOVE THIS COMUNITY! we are sent to exile, and have massive plans in the works in only 1 day im laughing so hard to myself right now.

OH PISS

Don't you just feel all warm and fuzzy inside??

Come here honey...

OMG disturbing smiley LOL

Would you guys want an online mag to go with the forum with comentary and articles? How about an interactive place to hang out and show off your stuff?

We developed some of these things for NPM but never got to implement them due to the lawsuit and the death of NPM.

Would you guys want and accept some of this or would it get everyone mad like how the new owners of sr20forums changed things?

Would you accept advertising to pay for the new stuff and new developments if it were unobtrusive and not interfering like dumb pop ups and stuff?

I think I have a team with the talent to take things to a new level if thats whats good for the comunity and its wanted.

Mike-

I have NO problem with advertising IF and only IF it caters to the SR20 crowd. I don't want shit like Circuit City Firedog and indiglo gauges BS advertised.

I think the magazine article idea will need to hold off for a few... May be too quick of a change and cause an uproar. Of course I could be wrong because you would be doing most of the editing and technical stuff anyways... Hmmm...

Just my 1 cent.

Cheers-

One of the things is that we would have a feature that allows our members to publish articles of their own, even opposing viewpoints. A step beyond a wiki although we may have this feature as well. This is all web 2.0 user generated content.

I think we can make this comunity state of the art. It will take a while to implement and get the bugs out but we can do it.

It will inject fresh life into the comunity.

At least this is my opinion.

Mike K. I think you should work something out with Crim... I will help in ANYWAY possible as you know.
I think the forum should at least get a few pages with members rides in a magazine. I would contribute ALOT for something like that. Also I think if you have to reach out for advertisment then you should just have it at the top of the screen and have it changing frequently. I hope to see and meet you at a convention this year...
Also please dont do nothing gay like the lame free secret thread for homos like on Sr20forum. That is possibly the DUMBEST thing ever. Mike K I support and will contribute for sure..

I have been in contact with Crim but he is recovering from serious surgery and I will have to let him rest a bit.

I think what my old team can do will be quite a bit beyond a simple members rides feature.

However I will be 100% honest and say this, all of this has to generate revinue. It will require several servers to run at the cost of over $1000 per month. It will require IT help and web development help. Professionals have to get paid for things to run right. Vollenteers bless their hearts are not relaible enough to run things smoothly.

Eventualy I hope to build this into a full time job.

So it has to bring in money though advertising but I can promise several things.

We are all hardcore enthusiasts, we are not corporate profiteers, we love this comunity and have been here from the begining. We want to give more than we take, we hope.

We cannot change things overnight but we can grow and evolve.

This is sounding to be real promising and enjoy it here
