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.

And just to make sure there is no confusion. AMS sponsored the awards for the DSMCentral Sport Compact Drag Challenge for 2006. They are not sponsoring DSMCentral in general. We may partner up again sometime in the future, but I wont hold my breath. They lost money and I broke even.

Surely they didn't expect to make money with this being their first year as a co-sponsor and relatively little advertising. That seems a little unrealistic, but then again maybe they would have if all the cars showed up that were rumored to be coming with them from up north. They really need to give it a couple of years to see if it will be a successful investment for them.

As far as the get togethers being mostly around the Peoria area, go ahead and plan one at your place where ever that may be and see how many people say they will attend. I think you may be surprised. I know I for one would think nothing of driving to Bloomington, Chambana, or Springfield to hang out with other members and shoot the bull for a few hours if I didn't already have something else planned.

I wouldn't mind hosting one but my yard is about as big as Kicks driveway


As far as the site how about giving us a few options to choose from for the color and style of the site. I mean as far as a personal selection not as an overall site change.
