I do have a little suggestion.
I recommend that TR charges to have a forum in the shop forum sections and advertise on TR
IMO that will weed out the real shops against the bull shit shops. Please other shops dont get all pissy its a general statement not directed to anyone personal.
No dont get me wrong TR has been a great place for me to bring in business and I really appreciate the fact that they let me advertise for free and I seriously cant thank TR enough for that.
But you go into the shop forum and these is now a total of 40+ shops and you look alot of them have absolutly no activity in them. So how does a shop like mine really stand out in there? I think making shops pay to advertise will really clean things up in there and show customers which shops are serious shops and which are fly by night places. The fly by night places arent going to make the investment to advertise most likely. And its worth every pennny. Lets say you charge 300.00 a year to advertise and have a forum. All it takes is 1 good job from the website and boom advertising is paid for a whole year. Then in turn it brings more attention to my shop becaue instead of having 40+ shops you now my only have maybe a total of 10 shop who are willing to advertise. The shops who pay will get more traffic.
Just my .02 cents
Take the income from the sponsorship money and put on events like track days and what not.
If TR ever charged to advertise you can sign me up!

however, any shop really wanting to get noticed would be running banners on the site, and or sponsoring a forum, both of which we charge for. Anyone wanting more details on either of these options can PM me.
We do have an admin who's job it is to look for unused forums and remove then in that area, he is still getting up to speed on that job but look for some forums that dont get used to get removed soon.
