How can we make the website a better place?
-
We eall can't get rid of the authentication process.
We get 1000+ spam registrations a month!!! its just too time consuming.
We are ontop of the authentication time now anyway.

Great, what would you as a new member like to see on the website?

how about paid and non paid members, when you pay you get a set of car stickers, a single news letter and some spotted cards to put on other cars with the website address
That way we can get a database of members who are serious, the money goes to the site and merchandise and when we have a big meet on EG japfest etc we can post out a flyer to say where we are all meeting etc and list the popular meets across the UK

you have to realise that the mx3 is a niche car not many people have them or no what they are….. thats why our forum is not so busy, i understand that people just register to sell stuff so i think there should be a 5 post minimum? paid is a good idea it will help the forum on fees, the sxoc do this.
just my 2 cents..

HJC charge a one off £12 for lifelong membership, thats a pack of stickers 2 large 2 small a news / welcome letter and a list of popular events
For that £12 you also get priority for tickets / entry over non members for events such as japfest or janspeed and better discounts for sky insurance, OPIE oils or JDModified etc
The MX-3 is a niche car but myself and sam on the south coast WILL get some big notice on our large jap club down here when he has whacked the turbo in and because I have piled cash into mine this year and a lot of members have been watching it I have already been promoted in the website to be on the front row display at the large show in 2 weeks.
When the next dyno day is on I will be noticed as I will be near the top this time because it goes on how much BHP you are over standard and most get 40-50bhpWe need to have a lot more regulars getting together at events whether its pimped to 300bhp or just polished and standard a few together gets noticed. 10 cars went to japfest and we got a lot of people looking over the cars this year and I got some good feedback, even off the HJC people who I could have gone with and been in the main arena
Its like the lottery - you have to be in it to win it
only us can keep this car alive

I think restricting the "for sale" section is a great idea. A lot of car clubs only give you access to that part if you are a member, or in some, a paying member only. If you can see the section is on the forum but cant read it then it makes it more tempting to sign up imo :)
Paid membership with freebies sounds great too, especially as you know its helping the club financially.

why do people want a members section? there are few members on the site intruducing minimum posts ect now isnt a good idea
Mind the mx3 may be cheap to buy but its nasty on the up keep so there isnt many out there who like to do them up, ive seen a minimum of 6 in edinburgh over the last year

agree with this, since owning my '3 over the last two years Ive maybe seen about 4 others on the road around here.
Dont agree with paid membership im afraid, donations throughout the year from everybody would net more cash in the long run wouldnt it?!
Im getting alot of attention on the Banzai forum, even without the Turbo :wink: 8)

I pulled out of a petrol station the other day (my local one) and to my amazement a silver mx3 came up behind me. of course i did the hazzards and wailed about like a baffoon but he didnt even notice. :(
