ok we need more people befor this site dies.
what do you as members want to see?

We can expand to 3 state's and change names to tristate mitsu.
witch would be Illinois,Missouri, and Kansas

We can also go midwest mitsu <i think inless there is another site like that?
those states are Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

Now if we were to do this we would be asking for donations.
for that we will be moving to a better server like Vbulletin or something like that.

If we do the change what do you want to see for the change?

we want you idea's!!!

mo-kan mitsu would be nice, i would like to go vbulliton once we get more members, but not right now.

Hmm, i actually like how it is. If members would be more active it could be pretty cool. maybe have a COTM?
If you guys ever need any servers, i have a few + a VPS.

lol, Dude we've had a COTM for 3 years.

what's COTM?

Car Of The Month

Before we do anything major like expanding, we need to update the look. It's very Dreary looking in here lol.

okay, it sounded like one of those video games :)

We need more participation from members. So anything to get members exited and post more would be good.

+1. More action!

yes we do but the problem with that is there are people that think this site is just for missouri peeps. inorder to get more people we need that to change. with more people = more action.

But also remember, people do judge a book by its cover. Some people could come in and say yeah NO...just from the colors, etc etc.

I think Step #1 should be a minor appearance change. Just something a bit more welcoming.

This white is killing my eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Step 1 complete. Does everyone like the new theme?

It's umm, slightly on the bright side. Kinda hard to read the text. Maybe mod it so the text is black instead of light gray?

I think adding a photo gallery would be an excellent addition... I go on DSMTuners and just browse their photo galleries just looking for good ideas on my car and seeing what others have done with theirs.

I would also like the theme changed... I'm with TSISpoolin, my eyes are killing me with this gay xbox360 theme.

Well ill change it again then. Ill get on it tommorow. Going to sleep now.

Not liking the Xbox 360 theme.

I agree. This snow motiff is not so good.

I think it is definately better then the dark. First it was too dark and now it is too bright lol. Im on the hunt for a board wrapper in between those two things. And the snow color is appropriate for the season :).

we should get a members rides section

For just build threads? Thats a good idea. What does everyone else think about that? We could have a members ride section under pics and media and it could be strictly for your builds and stuff.

A Gallery is also a good idea but it wont happen with this invisionfree board.

I like it.

look on club 3g

I like the theme, but the text is too light. Could you not just mod the css file to alter the text color?

I hate this bright text! I can't read a fuc**ing thing!

Have you ever done it? Ive never actually edited one. Here is the CSS sheet.

Yea but then we have to know the propor color code to change it with.

ill see if i cant find it.

Black would be #000000, but #494949 might look a little nicer.

It just came to me, I would love to see how-to / write-up & build forums.

were going to work on that here soon.as soon as i get a chance to i got a few to put up from my 3S days. i gota find them frist.

cool i can see what is said but im still having problems seeing what we type.

Better?

Much better...
Just need some of the font on the buttons darker as well.
Like when you do a reply, the post reply buttons font are still light.
I think I complain too much ;)

looks a lot better :)

As a more occasional poster.

1) A photo gallery. Links to photobucket etc. are often blocked at offices (like mine) meaning I can't see 90% of the posted photos when I would usually browse the site (lunch). Thus I browse less. For example, I can currently only see three of the "Mitsu of the year" nominations (rest are blocked). Makes it hard to vote.

2) A "how to" section. And a good one. I'm clueless when it comes to mods, why don't you all tell me how. Seriously, most boards assume more knowledge than I have (and you can all skip the smart-ass comments...).

3) A "where to" section. This site is fairly local. Some indications of good mechanics, stores, dealers etc. in the various areas we are would be nice and much appreciated.

Basically, I think the site needs more than just conversational content.

1. I will look into the photoalbums. However I am 99% that our invisionfree board will not allow it. I will definately look into though B).

2. I can add a how to section under the subforums, for example, Eclipse, Lancer/Evolution, 3000gt/Stealth, can all have a how to section. Or I can put it under General Automotive. If I put it under General Automotive then everyone posting a thread would be required to post the car first...for example the thread titile would look like this..

2003 Mitsubishi Lancer ES: How to change brake pads.

3. We can pin a thread at the top of each regional forum stating all of good local forums and shops for reference.

good idea
