    I would like a extra who's online just for the mods. I have had to make ATTN Threads b.c I can't find a mod online when I need one.

    Update the overall forum layout with some slicker looking html. Maybe try to better define, or organize the specific sections of the site.

    Marketing Marketing Marketing, I'd try to make a variety of marketable **** to sell bearing the sites name. Maybe add some other sections on the site, with product reviews, parts cars, and just a variety of other informative **** to read aside from relying on just the users to provide feed back about products.

    I've always wanted to work for a car magazine, or some sort of publication where I could try to provide an object view point on different stuff; new cars, used cars, products ect... but as we all know my website, went down last year, because I didn't have the time to learn to how to do html. When I'm in the right mind set I'm a killer writer, decent videographer, and now a pretty decent photographer, but I've yet to really find my niche in the "market".

    Anyway the layout you guys have now is pretty good, and about as functional as it gets, I'd just like to see it keep it's functionality with a little more eye candy.

    Honestly, I would go on a kickarse marketing venture to turn this place in a true money maker! Pitch ideas to different local car dealerships to throw their advertisements on, try an attend multiple car events even though some might be gaytarded (lame word but w/e), I'd do car features of more known members on the site, hold a site sponsored track event (with help from those dealership sponsors), start my own farking official car show solely for Atlanta, let that shiot grow into something that will blow Nopi out of the water, of course hold the major car meets at tracks such as Road Atlanta and Atl Speedway to stay local!

    Then I'd hire this black dude named Jamal to be my pimp tyte marketing/advertising manager so we can both make bank. Then I'd start to get rappers cars featured that we always see around atl. Start making my own spin-off of DUB magazine in this bish for the local lux car owners and shiz. Start advertising clubs shizz on the site.....

    Basically I'd just get money in our pockets.....

    Ahh and like I PM'd you before, I'd put a casino section in here for winning reps and ****. Bet your rep points on Fball, Baseball, musicians music sales, etc etc. You could even impliment that into the kills forum since most of them don't bet much money over $20-$100 in the actual races. Have some reps taken or added at the same time.

    In that case, you'll have to increase the amount of reps from 100pts per square to like 10,000 per square or something weird like that.

    I'd change nothing except making a picture of my junk on the front page.

    Why? Eh, no reason. Just something stupid and not expected.

    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.
    couldnt agree more on the for sale forums. i hardly if ever go in there anymore. that used to be at least once a day stop for me at least. now i only look when i need something. they need to go back to the old and have a section to click the brand or something to make searches more efficient instead of narrowing each down.

    but i love this site and the people i've met thru it!!!

    So the overall forum would be call Atlanta {something} or {something} Atlanta and that would include
    -The Main Section (for randomness, whoreslounge, RLD, other stuff dealing with Atlanta, and such)
    -Importatlanta (strictly for cars--pics, info, f/s,.... )
    -Killforums (strictly for racing)

    Basically, make a bigger forum and add the forums you already have to that one.
    i dont see changing the name, its called import atlanta cause its suppose to be about imports. changing it to something bigger and more wide spread would just cause more BS than there already is. you would get people joining to go talk in one part of the forum then go start **** in another. i think it should be primary imports and related stuff. im sure there is another atlanta something forum somewhere people can find for there other topics. and the porn thing is lame, i said it along time ago, goto dump.com and thats all you need. its the google video search of porn. dont need it here. also think the home page needs to be updated more. reps are pretty point, need to change the for sale threads alittle to where it can be marked as sold/and locked when its sold. and the feedback thing would be nice

    I agree that we have to many moderators and hell I'm a moderator. However I feel that I should be, I'm on here all the time and have no favoritism. Hell I've locked and deleted many threads that my roommates have started.

    Also, this site isn't really just for imports anymore, maybe a new name could spice things up a bit?

    Automotive Atlanta
    Gearhead Atlanta
    Motoring Atlanta
    Atlanta Auto Enthusiast

    I don't really ****ing know, just throwing some random stuff out there...

    What do you want done with the site in time admin?

    1. Members car section.
    2. Make rep points count for something, unless i'm missing it, like a sticker of 3 girls at one time or something.
    3. I would say change the info on the front page, but i'm kind of fond of the 2 year old info. It feels like an antique bed. Like going to grandma's every time I log in.
    4. Make me a mod.

    Thats it for now.
