Well I'm sure you guys heard or even read of the New IA.com...

Is going to be explosive... we are now going after the "BIG" websites in atlanta... We want to officially be the website with the most traffic in GA...
Our goal is to be better then sites such as Kudzu.com and accessatlanta.com...

IMPORTATLANTA, LLC will officially become a media/publishing company... I honestly never thought IA would become that 8 years ago out of my buddies PC...
A hobby turned Part time Gig and NOW Officially a BUSINESS... But as you can see, It has/will take alot of current members help to make this happen and make the " NEW SITE " The next BIG thing in GA......

We hope that with the " NEW SITE " we attract all people from all different walks of life from GA..... and keep our current members.. Yes, cars and BS brought us together.... But there is more then just cars out there...

Now We will have a little bit of everything that gets our attention in todays day to day living......

big changes to the entertainment and lifestyle sections would do a LOT to the demographic of IA visitors :)

entertainment ... expand on movies, music (make this huge, as there are TONS of thriving music-only forums)..

lifestyle from random DIY section (from home improvement writeups to how to ___ and ____ )non car related of course
to restaurant reviews
to a place where emos can write poems/journals/abstracts and sh!t(there are tons of them out there, especially in ATL...)
to an art section ... post up drawings, digital renderings etc

man it'd flourish I cant wait!!!
,

and then politics/ religion section


that'd be soooooo ftw ... bring a new wave of intelligent discussion to IA
away from the
'yo nucka letz sett1e diz in r3al lyyfe y0, norf korea dun fukt up wen dey did dat bombin in 1984 that no one noes about, ya dig?'

lets keep our IA to ourself and just expand our non-car related sections.

and...

whats wrong with n00bs

you were once a n00b yourself. As was I. As was every one else on here.

Ignorant n00bs are the problem, and of course you'll get your fair share of them with a car-related forum.... I'm sure the n00bs we'd get from all of the other new additions to the site will be nothing but an improvement to even out the ratio of ignorant n00bs to regular people who just happen to be new to this forum.

Besides, More people on a forum = more interactivity. More information, More insights, just better.

As with everything on the web, you have to adapt and evolve to survive. This evolution is going to straight up pwnz0r everything and become a new type of crack that you've never smoked before. AWESOME lirl

We have been doing this a long time. I have watched the site grow from under 20 GB a month to over 1000 GB a month in a short time span. This site has overcome many hurdles in the ever changing scene, but one thing has always stayed the same we have had a great member base that has stuck by us over the years and through all of the changes. Honestly we have so many friends on this site and we are proud of the work we have done to support the scene.

With that said IA is ready to evolve. We want to become the next online social hub in Atlanta. There are many dull sites like this - AccessAtlanta, but we have what they don't: strong member base, fresh unique ideas, and a something that makes people coming back for more.

We will always keep our strong ties to the Automotive Industry, we have just locked in a deal bringing on NOPI as an advertisor and you will find us at all local NOPI events this year. What you will start to see is the boards will be cleaned up some. RLD may be a sacrifice so we can bring more diverse advertisors/supporters/members to the site. In return you will begin to see home grown member based articles/reviews in just about every category possible: entertainment, sports, technology, photography, food, shopping, etc. We will also be adding online games, local attractions portion for atlanta visitors, etc.

All of this won't happen over night. I am looking for an date around March/April for launch. We will be bringing in many different tools to our site to keep everyone busy and entertained. The forums will be retained and ran by your friendly mod's. You will start to meet more members through their content contributions to the site; as well as be able to ad your view to each contribution.

I know this is a lot to throw out and we honestly aren't trying to over hype b/c an undertaking like this will take a long time to build; but we have to start somewhere. We obviously don't have a budget like the AJC or Tuner to produce such work nor are we giving up our full time jobs. So again if you would like to be a contributor to the site please shoot me a PM. There are no qualifications and no boundaries to the content we can cover.

Thanx again for all of the support through the years.

Paul

ps. IMPORTATLANTA.COM will remain; we certainly aren't doing away w/ this domain.

Couldnt said it better...

We have to do something with the site... Is just another risk.... When you run business you have to gamble... there's no business without risk.. I think...

We are going basiclly balls to the walls... if it doesnt work.. we tried...

We have the member support.. I really dont consider this a risk.. I consider it more of a change, We are already established.. so is not starting nothing...

I think, we have nothing to loose but time and energy put into it.. ****, with gatorade that all can come back...

I got IP banned?

Julio/Paul

My home computer and laptop both got ip banned, curious to know why. Haha, I haven't done anything bad, you and paul knew of my new name. Did I have too many names?

I stopped using them and made "Meniac" and it got banned too. Come on julio, tell me if im doing something wrong man lol. I already told yall the names to ban so I dont have other names.

Here are all the ones I dont use.

1. Wakko
2. Obiwon
3. Maniac®
4. Meniac
5. Death-41701

2/3 are both unactivated and wakko I dont even use it. I used Meniac today. You and paul already knew this, but I guess other super moderators didnt so thought I was alter-ego'ing to make some drama. Which is not the case, you said IA was going to go through some changes, well I already said im here to help. Since on my free time im always browsing the forum. So can I have all those names banned and keep Meniac? And get my ip's unbanned?

I already got a job so I wont be online as often as I used to, so my post whoring will stop... So whats up, can you do this for me?

Or am I still hated?

And before I get the "you have no life" comment, to make a new screen name takes about 4 mins. LOL its not hard to do, and on my free time I like spending time on IA and other forums, plus I have no idea whats going on with IA since i havent been browsing it like i used to for the past week and a half.

Thank satan I got a new job, this way ill waste less of my life posting un-important posts and worthless post whoring.... :D so what is it gonna be? am i gonna have to move on from this e-life or can i continue to bring IA views and make peoples time online alittle more interesting? lmk
