Hi guys and girls.

We have just passed the 900 registered users mark and that means we are well on track to reaching the magic 1000 mark before our 6 month old birthday. In fact it would be nice to reach 1111 users by then (28 April).

Anyway we know there is something that works here. It's a great community and I want to make sure it stays like that. If you have any ideas to improve things, or if anything that is broke please do let me know. Feel free to post here or PM me at any time.

Thanks

Tony

I must say, being a member of 7 car forums and having run my own for a while (same hosting as this, good choice ) this is a very active and well run forum. Regional events or even "local" sections/secretaries within the forum in time would be good to stimulate local activity, also is there any plans for merchandise? t-shirts, fleece's etc? www.scirocconet.co.uk window stickers would be good, something designed for the rear side windows, applied from the inside along the bottom edge would be a subtle way of advertising the forum.

P.S. something that works well on other forums is "ranking" members dependent on post levels, eg. level 1 up to 50 posts, level 2 50-100 posts, level 3 100-300 posts level 4, 300-750 posts level 5, 750+ posts. This could be done as say, newbie, junior member, member, senior member, get a life ( :lol: ) other forums use BHP so 50bhp, 100bhp etc others simply use a star rating 1-5 stars. This encourages members to participate rather than just "surf" threads. Just some thoughts!!

 

[TonyIroc]

Thanks for the feedback imitebeurda. Rankings is a good idea. Not something I previously thought of. I will get it running in the next few days.

Regional events and forums will have to wait until the site is a little bigger but it is on the cards. As for merchandise I have been looking at stickers and keyrings etc etc but waiting until I have some proper designs done.

Thanks Again

Tony

I was thinking the same the other day but got sidetracked, if she washes it again it will probably look like a golf.

Good comments and suggestions by imitebeurda - he took the words right out of my mouth :lol: :lol:

Now in place. These will probably change over time as the forum gets older.

0 - 50 Newbie
50 - 250 Regular
250+ Senior

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Any other ideas?

 

[business manager]

Maybe colour the username instead so green for senior, purple for regular and pink for new user

 

[atayub]

Color idea sounds good,lay off the pink though (lol) unless thats a newbie one!

 

[TonyIroc]

How about regional forums UK and worldwide. Also a forum for cleaning the Roc as alot of posts about cleaning wheels,waxing and products.

The regional forums will come in due course but not just yet. Good idea for the cleaning forum and will consider adding this shortly.

Think the problem with regional sub-forums is that it dilutes the membership.
