Re: WDYWOOTW the 2018 edition
Smaller geographical sub forums. For example, I am in Northern California and the area for me is "southwest". That's awfully large and does not do much good to see an event or whatever from say Arizona. If it were further segmented to, say, California, or even Northern California/Southern California then it would be more pertinent. I think it would be more useful, and more people would participate if the geographies were local to them.

Re: WDYWOOTW the 2018 edition
My suggestion is how about a sub folder in the 67-72 classifieds for the NOS parts. It would seem there are two different types of builds here and each would benefit from being able to surf them separately. Just my 2 cents

The content is here, and I do like the suggestions but again I ask that folks report posts that they feel would be good FAQ material or news worthy. It is not like it was 15 years ago where we could read every post every day. That's where you the community come in. Give a heads up to cool stuff we may miss. |

Re: WDYWOOTW the 2018 edition
First off, Thanks for running this site and giving us an opportunity to voice our opinions.
I would like to see the names change from 73+ 73-87(91) were designed as "Rounded Line" from GM. Squarebody is just a slang term. I'm not saying it should be called the rounded line section, but I don't think it should be named for a slang nickname. All of the other sections go by year range. 88-present. I would like to see the forums renamed by platform(GMT400, GMT800, GMT900, GMTK2XX). There are a lot f members posting in the wrong forums. Especially in transition years(88-91, 99-00, 07). I would like to see the s10/blazer II section renamed. There never was a blazer II. There was a bronco II and an s10 blazer, but never a blazer II. It would also be nice to see a 82-93 section and a 98-04 section. Thanks for hearing us, and thanks again for letting us voice our opinions here. |

Re: WDYWOOTW the 2018 edition
I dont think we ever tried that before. I would post a poll in the main board and see what they think.

Re: WDYWOOTW the 2018 edition
Thanks for updating the home page.
Even if it stayed the way it is now and was updated each month with the TOTM winners. That would work. I bet it will also increase the flow of guys entering that contest Because, there would be recognition of their rigs in a very visible space |

FWIW, this is the most informative, mutually respectful website I've ever participated in. Whether someones knowledge level is complete rookie or master craftsman, there is always helpful advise and understanding of the other persons concerns. Very rare in the internet world, not sure how you were able to accomplish that, but good for you, and thanks! |

Re: WDYWOOTW the 2018 edition
Life has taught me to watch what you wish for.
Just don't change it all at once. I won't be able to find anything. Seriously, It works pretty well the way it is.

Re: WDYWOOTW the 2018 edition
Redo the landing page. Keep it updated with truck of the month or something.
Get rid of because of lack of use, 1000 ish or less posts in ten years ... Pre 47 O7 plus S10 In scale ... maybe just allow them in the areas that cover the in scale truck that someone wants to share? They would get a lot more views via the standard 67-72 truck area anyway. Detail, Audio, Tools and Shop Safety ... plenty of sights that cover these as their subject. Put all WIW and WTB in the main classifieds. Put all 67-72 Models in one classified with drop down for truck/burb.panel/blazer. You make an ad, use the arrow drop down to classify what its for. So many parts get missed that work for all models. And so many people just cant stop cross posting to see more eyes. I appreciate the guys that sell a ton of stuff stepping up to red. So many guys that use the sight for mostly selling (easy to see when you look at their history) only use the standard subscription. Guys that do sell a lot. Maybe instead of having half the front page of the classifieds with your little single bits in pieces in single threads start doubling and tripling up. Stop ad bumping after ridiculously short periods of time .. two day bump rule? Vendors area. Delete the ridiculously old posts or close them instead of adding to them. And honestly I know this is probably only me. Id like to see all 67-72 models in one area not just like that in the classifieds, but in the main forum. Use a drop down again to see what model you want to talk about. Going to get a ton more views on the Blazers and Burbs this way. So much tech talk applies to all models. I know life and family take up a ton of time but I would like to see more ownership involvement. I miss the old days of Lizzes (sp?) bantering with the rest of us, and the occasional Josh. |

Re: WDYWOOTW the 2018 edition
How about a Jefferson State forum, ey? Sorry, had to throw that in. California is a mighty tall state, Blended from Mexico through to the Barbary Coast of the NW. A great state and BIG. Look at the old world east coast. Look at teeny weeny Maryland... DE. We fall in the NE region, yet Virginia and West Virginia are SE. Where I live is about a half hour from PA, VA, WVA, and not much more than and hour to DE. All these states are Mid-Atlantic just like CA's Central Coast. Parts of New Jersey are farther south than parts of the Virginias. I hear you on matters such as looking for a good local shop. To be honest, out NW region is functionally dead. It is pared down to one annual "Wuzzup" thread for Maryland that gets largely overlooked. And we are the most active of all the NE region. Something needs to happen but not sure what it is. I blame the people more than the website, though. Members have to use a feature for it to work.

Re: WDYWOOTW the 2018 edition
First of all, this site is great. I don’t do any other social media but I am on here every day. It’s a fantastic site, doesn’t need anything major. And I appreciate that it’s clean.
My suggestions: 1. Consolidate WTB and WIW with FS threads. Maybe add WTT or other types. It should make it easier to restrict posts to premium members. Make a drop down for the abbreviation like the state initials to make titles consistent and easy to navigate. 2. Find a way to make adding pictures and videos easier. I don’t know a thing about doing that, but I would think there has to be something out there that would streamline it. Maybe even have it automatically downsize files when needed so you don’t have to download to a computer to edit size. 3. Add a search feature in vendors section? I may be the only one, but I don’t have the patience to sort through the threads when I need new part so I shop elsewhere. 4. Ditto on the main page comments!

in summary edmund (a bonus kid) stayed off n on and is now on his own. Daniel graduated and is in college year 2, chris (bonus kid 2) graduated and is at nc state, Metlinda graduated and freed me from teaching for a few years. Sierra is in a college prep high school and it kicked her ass hardcore last year, doing better this year. Dictator Sparkles aka Ryleigh is in 1st grade and getting a bit more independent, giving me a few more minutes. The store is the store and has yet to profit, but typically pays its rent and utilities. Mel graduated dance, Sierra quit dance for chorus and Ry is starting back to dance this year after a year off. Love my boys, and miss them tons, but life has slowed back down a bit with the olders all graduating. oh and McDonalds of Rockwell still sucks they did however clean out the heroin n **** here recently. So whats new by you cg? lol... |

Re: WDYWOOTW the 2018 edition
chaching! I love input and it typically ends in we need to change this this this and this. Then when changed it needs to change here there n where. We can change names and move tabs 97 times a week. If they arent used its pointless
