Pay to play...

[chad05gt]

I check this forum first, and hope to keep it that way...

Im sure that is more to do with members rather than 'rooms'
I wouldnt mind a $ join fee for posters...

and get a couple t-shirts, toolbag, stickers, or credit to one of the vendors to keep some away; the thread stealers and, well you know.

Still join and view free, but to POST; pms free... just Post...

Im all for sharing good info, and we all can be found on other forums.

Just a thought....

We kicked that around a bit, we need to offer more than what all the others offer. S197Forum for instance is the place for Forced induction, I would say 70% on their members have some form of a power adder.
That seems to be the generic response when someone wants more power or better ET.

one thought here was to offer all tech info in the N/A racer. sure it's not as easy as tossing a supercharger on top the motor but it can be more rewarding when your Naturally Aspirated 3V runs down a Super charged one.

Last year a ran against a 2002 SS Camaro with similar bolt-ons as I have, I beat him by just over a tenth and the next time we got inthe stadging lanes he asked if I was supercharged or spraying, I said "Nope Just bolt-ons" He first said BS, and looked over my car and could not beleive a bolt-on S197 ran him down. he said he never looses to a N/A S197 or New edge. This my friend is my goal, to beat 4th and 5th gen Camaros with similar bolt-ons.

So the short answer, we need to offer somthing more, somthing that is missing from the other forums. I do not want to Compete with S197forum, The Collective or the rest, we want to compliment them. We have Kimmer as our support sponsor we want to share ideas, and members, we just need to think of an idea that will help all the S197 forum community.

No not at all, I agree with the concept, but how do we offer somthing someone would want to pay for? thats my
problem with the Pay to play option. what do you get for your money?

I thought about a Scavenger Picture hunt, Pay 5 bucks and everyone must provide 2 pictures with your car at the quest site
Like for instance the Quest is a Picture of your Car with a P51 Mustang (Airplane)
or A Picture of your car with Hooters Girls, stuff like that, the winner would be the person that get the most pictures in the quest.
there would be a 1st, 2nd abd 3rd place winners (Cash prizes for each)

I like the idea of "advanced permissions" with a donation. Todd brought this up this weekend too. We should talk about this more at our next meeting...

Right,
Like More Space for PM's, and a supporter logo under your avator. I agree I need todd to help with this, not sure what option in vBulletin needs to be changed.
