Hi,
I've been looking at the sub-forums on this board and feel that some should be amalgamated. My opinion is that the board looks a bit messy and could be made to look simpler.
So here goes my view, let me know what you think.
General
General Discussion / Views & Chit Chat / Soap Box / Anything & Everything are pretty much all the same thing. If you had something to say you could do it in any of those sub-forums. I think they should be condensed into something along the lines of "Down The Pub".
Meetings & Shows
Can't it just be "Meetings and Shows" ? All the current stuff will be at the top of the list anyway and viewers can easily see what's going on by looking at one page.
As for local groups, my personal view is that they are from an era where members had to stay local for ease of communication. Now we have the wibbly wobbly web, it is much easier to stay in touch. I think local groups are a thing of the past and should be scrapped. It makes the club look cliquey and uninviting.
For Sale & Wanted
Keep the link to the classified page, that works well. But I think we should change the title of "non-Z related discussions" to "Ebay link discussions" - I don't really think it matters whether they are Z related or not.
Members Area
How about a new section called "Members Rides" in the same vein as Retro Rides
A place where members can show-case their cars, what they have been doing with them, modifications etc - like a personal blog. With it being locked in the member section, it gives some privacy too.
Comments please
