    True. Although it is not the opinion of CB7tuner.com. It is my opinion alone.
    Perhaps I should make a separate account on which to post my more opinionated ideas. One where my opinions aren't seen as the official stance of this site as a whole (not taking offense... if that's how it's seen, then it's a legitimate concern.)

      hey deeves, have you thought of putting a chat box on the forum menu page ( the page where it shows all the sections of the board)?

      FRIENDS

        It gets suggested about once a year. I shoot it down every time.
        A chat box would be impossible to monitor and moderate, and if Facebook is any indication, fast-paced, real-time conversation can erupt into shit-talking way too quickly!

        Plus, it would likely require modifications that I wouldn't want to risk (potential stability issues), and it may cause a major increase in bandwidth usage (which is already a bit of an issue.)

          I'll try to link to the site as much as I can on the Facebook page.

            Thanks Wilson.
            I really need to get over there myself more often. I really appreciate you keeping up with it!

              We should make a newsletter and blast it to our member list to remind them to come back with updates.

              Im sure you can rip emails from account info

              My job uses Constant Contact for blasting stuff out.

              or survey monkey. whatever.

                Yeah, I think that's something Pandemic has been thinking of doing.
                The only bad thing is that it's likely that the majority of inactive users have likely sold their CB7 long ago (especially with a decade in existence), or they left because they don't like this place. But hey... if it brings people back, it's worth it!

                    That'll bring in more traffic for sure!

                        Yea I'm on jeep forum as well and they send out newsletters ALL the time and remind me to long in every so often so I can update them. They even send happy birthday emails. We should do something like that for our members.

                                For the newcomers to the site, maybe you should make a sub-section specifically dedicated for the people who have excessively bad grammar, spelling, etc. That way everyone who wants to type like they are on a two-way, can have a section free of the harassment that they get. Also it will generate unique keywords that could lead more traffic to this site, even the random visitor who has no purpose with this site, you'll still get paid by Google for their impressions.

                                Also maybe you should consider a 'badge system', where doing certain things around the site to help others can be cause for a moderator to reward you with a badge of some sort. For example if I was a moderator, GeoffM would get the 'Troll' badge, make it fun, and interesting at the same time.

                                Also I really like the idea of the DIY section being re-categorized, and images being hosted with a reliable 3rd party image host. You already have the basic format, just expand on it, and create sub-sub-sections break it up even more. With this it would also be nice if you could get that particular section to display threads with replies from the last year (or longer), or compile an basic index in each section that is a sticky.

                                Also I think the MRT section could use some organization. I like the fact that all the MRT's are listed under one section, but it would be nice if there was a way to make it so there were sub-sections (say by paint color), that when you enter the sub-section, it filters the results for the main view/section. E.g.. So you can see all the most recent replies on MRT's in one place, but if you enter a subsection, it limits you to the criteria of that sub-section.
