If you owned IA what would you do???...

1. Making less main forums and put back subs forums. It will be much easier to navigate. For example: We need back the Sponsor Corner as the main room, with sub-forums in there, 1 General room for request from sponsors, and the rooms for each sponsor (like how we had before).


2. Rep bars should be for something worthy (good information, tech supports, etc.), not WL related. --- too hard to enforce/implement


3. WL posts doesn't count as total posts. ---- well I don't really think post count matters.


4. #2 and #3 above will determine who's qualified to sell stuffs here. People can just come in, BS, get repped, and qualified to sell. Someone may see a person with tons of posts and a lot of reps, then think that person is reliable, good, and trust worthy. - Good point


5. if 2, 3, and 4 aren't needed, then something like i-trader info. Where to post feedbacks like ebay, etc. for transaction done on here. It'd be useful.


6. IA's garage for users to post their rides, mods, and info. Just thought it'd be nice. AWESOME IDEA --- kinda like what southsideimports.net did... I like the idea http://southsideimports.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=99 http://southsideimports.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7149 <-- theres mine


That's all I can think of now.

dude you ARE THE MAN... i agree 110% with almost everything you posted. Those are my main concerns right now.

1) I say we put the forums back how they were, they were literally PERFECT... like religion forum was there... news/politics forum was there (awesome reads/debates in there)... Back then I could actually sell something by making 1 thread haha... I had to post my 950cc injectors in mitsubishi, honda, and general subforums. Honda forum usually has the most viewers and with that said that was the only thread which got replies... The others didn't. Now what if someone with a dsm needed injectors, if I only posted it in honda forums, he would never check to see them in there.

But i requested this a LONGGGG time ago, jsut doesn't seems like it works too well IMO...

Say you had a car for sale.... I used my corolla as an example. the 79 corolla. People looking for that kind of car aren't automatically like "damn i'm in the mood of buying a 1979 corolla today"... They might be looking for a datsun 510, 3tc corolla, or whatever... just an old school rwd project right? If i were to post it in toyota some people would never click in to see it. I mean even when I bought my car, I wasn't like "damn i'm gonna buy a toyota today" Sure it'll increase your click count as a site if you had it broken down, but daym its very inefficient.

I rarely even look in parts for sale anymore, its a mess.



What else i'd add? Yall should have tshirt designing thread contests and fukk cafe press.... I know a decent silk screen place on jimmy carter that does 'em WAAAAAY higher quality and a little cheaper... Just sell 'em on the main page using an ecommerce program (i got one if yall need)... Bring more clicks to the site that way too... more ppl viewing the main page as well. And some extra income bc most people dont even know about the cafepress site... it took me a while to even find it.

Let the pictures and photoshop section mods select the best of the month (the best writeup/coverage on a worthy car) --- and send it to the admin.. .and the admin can just copy/paste it over to you. (( will work excellent, bc will give exposure to new and upcoming cars/photographers-- assuming they're good at what they do if they can prove it to the panel deciding.)) --- This also will bring more posts/views/clicks to that specific forum (eye candy brings new visitors too)


theres much more but I'm lazy at the moment... but Yeah I <3 IA and i can volunteer to help with anything.... but PLEAAAAAAAAAAASE put the forum layout like it was before you made it into retarded subforums.
