Default Changes to TR and the future.

Hello all.

Recently as you know we've made some changes to TR, I'm wanting to gather some feedback.
  • We moved Free-4-all off to its own site - www.tampaforums.com. whats your views on TR after that change ? Pro's? Cons ? Dont care ?
  • We shut down the "general" forsale areas and added forsale areas specific to car makes under eatch tech forum.. this was in response to feedback from you guys that you couldnt find stuff specific to your car.
  • Did this help ?
  • Do you like the new system ?
  • Is there something we can do to the forsale/classifieds to make it better?
  • Should we go to some kind of dedicated classified software, tied in to the forum but not in a "forum" format ?
  • Is there a forsale area on another website you like? (Keep in mind the amount of traffic we get.. easy to say xyz forum looks and works nicer when xyz only has 1000 members)
We'd also like to get some feedback on future additions you'd like to see on TR.
  • vbGarage perhaps ?
  • timeslip DB again ?
  • Articles section ?
  • Anything else ?
Please keep the posts constructive and if your going to complain about something (which we dont mind) please be sure you have an idea on how to fix or improve it

thanks.

Zate.

It's working for me. When are you going to remove the links to FFA and shit?

The link to FFA will probably always be there.. so we have some where to send the people who need that kind of environment .. and its a fun read

The other Forsale links will probably only be around another month or so.. i need to move all the threads/posts from all the "redirected" areas into one large hidden searchable forum so people can still search and find old topics.

I was also thinking of perhaps getting some events coverage going.. maybe a monthly test drive of a new car and possibly bringing back car of the month..

You should move the FFA link elsewhere on the page then. It's like the first real forum visible and kinda takes away from GCC and stuff. At least that's what I think.

Oooh ooh, I got another one. When are the profiles from TF and TR going to be separate? It seems kinda foolish to list what cars I drive in my TF signature, but if I change one it changes the other.

I think project journals would be a good idea to add to TR. I sent Aharon a link a while back, don't know if he had a chance to look at it yet. I know he's busy.

I agree w/ the maturity level going up.

I was thinking it'd be kewl to have a link/button on the top bar so one could switch between the two when they wanted.
