Guess who decided to drop in on the ol' DSMCentral

Maybe it's time to consider changing focus a bit? I'm just brainstorming here.

It would depend on *if* you want more activity on the site, or if you want it to remain a select few that it is now. I'd think you could keep it dsm oriented, and still build up the community here some if you wanted to, though you'd probably have to open up a little more and say add some sections for newer mitsu cars, etc. just a thought, nothing serious

Yeah, I've considered expanding the scope of the website to meet a wider array of users and their needs for quite some time. In fact a number of us discussed this as Mitsubishi was getting ready to unveil the EVO.

I'm open to suggestion. Opening the site up to EVO's is a no brainer as it is already welcome ground to them. There is just no advertising in the name or description to say so.


Expanding the car selection to all Mitsubishis might seem to be the right path, but I think most other platformes are so different and offer different benefits that I don't believe we could build on what we had /have very well.

I personally would rather see the site to be expanded for all AWD turbo charged vehicles. That's the real king of interest on this site and many other DSM sites. However, I would think that opening up the membership to anyone with AWD, or turbocharger would allow us to build an organized forum where our core background information can still be helpful to both.

The cars and sections I can think of that would fit would be:
Skylines
Supra's
Audi's
Subaru
Hyundai
Honda
Grand National
Turbo Trans Am
Conquest/Starion
GM Cyclone/Typhoons
Rally cars
Feature rally racing
Aftermarket turbo charging applications
etc.


Now to do this we would have to be able to re-open an upgraded automated member ship registry so that the site isn't bombarded with spam. I need some major help with that. I have no idea how to fix that problem and I don't have time to manually sort through spam bots to find real users.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
