Gpro Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 A nice quick win for the forum would be to drive more organic/seo traffic to the site. Should help drive the new generation of people who aren't aware of the forum. My first tip, switch the forum to HTTPS as soon as possible. Currently being insecure will significantly affect SEO performance, primairly due to the username/password fields on insecure pages (site-wide).

Kendo11 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Very well said supra_aero[emoji106] I’m a NA owner, got ridiculed by certain keyboard warrior on here back in 2016, I stopped visiting the forum ever since, I hang out with a few mk4 guys quite frequently and they don’t have many positive comments about certain people on here ( NA basher and keyboard warrior). It’s insane to think that I’m a mk4 Supra owner and being ridiculed on here, because it’s a NA or don’t have enough ponies under the bonnet, not much of encouragement for any newbies who own a NA to hang around on here. Until a week ago I’ve managed to get ( James ) LittleNum ( through my best mate ) to service my car, brilliant mechanic and very down earth guy[emoji93], and Burna turned up while James was working on my car, it’s the first time we met, and I have to say it on here Burna himself is very genuine and very real. We had a brief conversation both James and Burna swayed my view about this forum, I’m not saying it because he’s a one of the MOD’s on here, to me if a person is a tw*t I wouldn’t bother to entertain them.I found the 'ignore' option many months back and it's improved my experience on here immensely.

mwilkinson Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 You need to have reasonably thick skin to be active on a forum. Banter and ridicule come with the territory. The level of disdain and comments seen these days is nothing compared to back in 2006 when I joined. This forum will always be my go to place. Not interested in Face ache. One day it will probably just be me starting posts and answering my own questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

far Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I am inclined to agree, but I strongly suspect that if it where to be the case it would likely spell the demise of this forum, which was kind of my point, lots of car and other forums that are not subscription based are really struggling, much like here they are becoming like ghost towns, just the odd tumbleweed rolling through. same here, I come on now and again but dont really post much Dont really recognise anyone on here either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Massey Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 The forum is dying so are the events. It is probably due to costs this year. Everyone is spending less and having to tighten their belts a bit. It has been noticed across the board for events this year, so I wouldn't say the club and events are dying just yet.

wile e coyote Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 It's not the lack of events it's the lack of people not being able to afford to go to the events I can think of at least 6 who have had to tighten in there belts Hopefully for them things improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdale Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 It's just a bad year for events for me. I only work 20 weeks a year but my shifts have fallen on all of the major events . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 the plan is to push the forum back up that hill and make it what it was before. I am back and will be helping push it that way and Im sure we can get things back to being fun and exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 It’s a big forum and a steep hill so we need everyone to get behind it to make it work. Don’t give up on it yet as the old girls got plenty of miles left in her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 It’s a great club regardless of the forum aspect. Some great people I’ve had the privilege of meeting the last few years I imagine I am at the top of that list Jason. You say the nicest things..!! I can't believe you are all still papping on about this. I was going to make a comeback with the MKV Supra but it would seem that it is being made with the wrong gearbox so I will stick with my Beetles thank you. H.
