DSMCentral Improvement request Options

[awd4kicks]

Hey everbody.

I've been pretty wrapped up trying to get my car running over the past few months along with the required family stuff. So I haven't had much time to concentrate on DSMCentral.

I really appreciate having you all on here and I definitely dig having the group together for outings and what not. With that in mind I would like to hear any and all suggestions that you may have to make this a better forum and event creation spot.

We often have very few people with running DSM's at any given time. That along with real-world duties, makes it tough to get large gatherings together. That's ok though. I'm happy to hang out with a few good pals that like to talk car junk every once in a while.

So let me hear what if any improvements that you would like to see. Maybe it's additional forums, maybe it's a different look, or going ahead with the DSMCentral garage, or stickers, or what ever. After we get a number of reply's we will post them up as a poll and make some changes based on the recommended improvements with the most votes.

Thanks for your input and invovlement. I think we should get somethings going so we can stay active before and during the cold months.

I'd like to see more meet dates as well now that I've got a capable vehicle. I think a few meets a year (not necessarily sponsored or sanctioned by DSMCentral) would bode well for the morale of the site.

Next year, I think a few planned out trips to Charleston's Coles County Dragway could be in order for a few of the southern members here as well as some planned AutoX's. I've never AutoXed in my life and think it would be a valuable experience to those of us that haven't.

I think a big thing before when I didn't have a running car was the fear of rejection for not having a car to enter into the proposed event. Don't be afraid to tag along and just watch and have fun! I learned this in my first DSMCentral meet at Spy's house. Chances are there are more people there that aren't bringing their DSM than those that are. I think a trip back in time shows that DSMCentral was a bit tighter group when we had more events than just tech support on the web all the time. I'd be willing to host an event or two at my place given the proper timing and planning. Heck! Why not even a small DSMCentral car show? I'm sure I could probably get permission to use the High School's parking lot on the weekend.
