New forums
 

We will eventually require a motorsports forum to cover track and autocross.

Another forum to consider would be a dealer forum as a place that dealers of the car can post, and people can post their impressions and experiences with specific dealers.

A buying/selling forum for RX-8 related products and parts?

A forum for meets and events? Or maybe that should be in the regional forums.

A forum for car modifications. Maybe subdivide into body/appearance mods and handling/power mods.

All coming soon, Randy. We'll have those and more once the car is released. ;)

Cool. :)

This will be a busy site.

At some point, I need to discuss advertising with you guys.

I suggest directing those inquiries to BOOSTD7, the forum owner. LOTS of things are in the works, this place is going to explode, and our cozy little "hometown-feel" will be history. We're ready, ain't we guys? :D :D

Umm... Err... Umm... Yes?

;)

As aptly put by "Yello"... "Oh Yeah!"

When the site gets bigger, you should have locality forums.

For example:

Nothern California
Southern California
Pacific Northwest
Midwest
The Dirty South
New England
Atlantic south Coast
Hawaii
Asia
Europe

etc etc etc...

:D :D

you give too much attention to cali

not to mention leaving out new york, Pa, new jersey and D.C.

Ok, North Delaware and South Delaware, howzat? :D

Seriously, all suggestions are valid. It's under discussion with the mods right now as we speak. We can go with the standard forum names copying other sites or we can do something out-of-the-box as long as navigation is easy for everyone. We're new and now's the time to toss in your opinions. We have a large and very supportive membership from "Across the Pond" and "Up North" who definitely will get their own forums. ;)

Talk about double standards...

Where do you live:--

1. New York
2. Europe

What's wrong with this picture?

iam from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. spent alot of time growing up in new york and new jersey. not sure what you mean by europe, sorry its been a long day lol:)

Lets use Asia instead of europe, because it's easier to explain... New York is a "City", Asia is a "Continent"...

That's like saying... what language do you speak...

1. English
2. Foreign

oh he broke this country into geographical bits and then said "europe" and "asia". understood now, im tired and a bit thickheaded today:cool:

LMAO! Asia (by definition that we have no influence over), refers to the Orient. Just piddly semantics and demographics 'tis all. Would you prefer RH drive vs. LH drive forums? :D

The geographical bits were basically OK,... I was just laughing at you putting New York and stuff in there...

I guess that Europe and Asia could be broken up better... but I'm not the one who's qualified to do it... definitely not for Asia...

IMHO, geographical areas are OK, and then Europe and Asia etc... but if it's decided to do say States in the US then that translates to countries in Europe I guess...

Based on my experiences at other car forums, it should not be divided based on geographical size or any other criteria beyind user needs. It could very well be true that there should be a Southern California and Northern California split, if the numbers of members indicate a need. It would be a lot easier to arrange meets and events in a Southern California forum for example.

If one person from France was an RX-8 fan, should there be a French forum? Nope.

I suggest you start small in numbers and divide and subdivide as the numbers indicate you should. A forum with a lot of sparsely used subforums and many layers looks crappy, IMHO.

Start out with a West Coast, East Coast, South, Midwest, Canada, Europe, Asia.

Yeah... is seems dismissive to a continent, but reality will be what it is. Most of the posts reflect people in certain regions. Again, create regional forums based on needs. If we have 20+ members from UK and they have to sort through the that one French guy's messages and all the German/Dutch messages, split it up then.

Yep, I agree... I see no need to split it up in that way at all... but if it gets done I'd like to see a little consistancy, otherwise it's gonna get confusing..

In that way I think less is more...

Actually I've been known to suggest that that WAS a good idea before... so who am I kidding...

In case you haven't noticed Canada is pretty big - on top of that, there are already many many many Canadians from the atlantic to the pacific coast. I'm pretty sure a split in a bigger country is more valid than a state.

I think there should be a Canadian forum for users now.
