A forum is nothing without members. Whether those member post dross or factual nuggets its still nothing with out either of them.
This site has dreamers who'll never own a zed, would-be purchasers, owners and past owners. In my opinion all groups make up the demographic of the forum. Also most importantly its how each group interacts with the other E.G if owners flame would be purchasers it will no doubt discourage them from buying a zed but also this site!
For me this site started as an owners site but it could easily develop into a owners/social site. Does the fact that you no longer own a zed mean that you can't revisit this site? I understand this is a 350z orientated site but it could be sooooo much more as well. I can't think of many past owners that still frequent this site which is not a good thing. I understand that off topic stuff is not particularly wanted but there is massive potential for this site based on its current format.
How about expanding the other car forums? How about encouraging other traders from other marques? How about charging membership fee's for owners of other cars plus theyre associated traders? They could offer discounts that were only available here maybe? Would you buy tyres from www.bmwlover.co.uk if it was cheaper than anywhere else? I would! What happens when they stop making the zed or the mods sell up? Looking at this site from a business view point the more people on it the more revenue and the enormous potential it has would be a shame to waste!
I'm sure none of these will be implemented but they may give food for thought.
