Good points and I agree with you on the auto-x portion.. there is defintiely something to be said about having people local chime in when it comes to your local track. I think there is a balance though... you can talk about your local track and experiences, but when it comes to the car and how to prep it, I think the larger community provides more insight. You make a good point here though.. I think it just needs to be balanced... and I don't think a sub-forum just for auto-x would solve that. I think a thread in the main forum would be sufficient.

As far as photography forum goes, I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to feedback. I have posted comments, questions in the past and have gotten lukewarm responses... They are also extremely critical and almost to the point of rude... They are, however, passionate and post up good critique...you just need to be able to handle it..

If you have any instances where you don't feel like you are getting an adequate response, bump your thread and see if anyone can chime in.

Good points btw



PS... You aren't "considered" new.. you ARE new (I'm kidding btw)

 

ummm, nobody's picked anything yet. It's still okay for people to have differing opinions concerning what will work and what will not. I think people can chime in if they don't think a particular suggestion is doable and state their case. Both of your opinions are noted and respected by the community just the same as everyone elses opinion. Please continue to voice your mind people. Thank you!

I don't care if people categorize a meet that I post as either official or unofficial, just as long as they have a good time.

 

I suggested adding the official/unofficial meets to differentiate between a small Thursday night gathering in Chicago to say, the annual WTD event that requires more coordination between members from a much larger geographical region. It's also based on the premise that we have metro sub-forum section. I imagine part of the problem associated with this in the past stemmed from bad clarity between what members perceived as Official & Unofficial and some bickering that happened afterwards? If no such differentiation is needed, or if this causes more problems than solutions, then scratch it and move on.

My intent on participating in this topic is to suggest "new" ideas and persepective from someone who is still new and unaffected by previous history on s2ki. I'm not sure what has or hasn't been done before, so pardon me if I'm spinning the wheel.

 

Definitely good feedback and I would not want to see your ideas go by the wayside.... this is all good Fresh thoughts should always be welcome and should never be closed off without discussion. I definitely urge you to continue to voice your thoughts..

 

I think I follow you now, it was a bit fuzzy before.

Keep it coming

 

Exactly Sam, but with that I think just a VERY basic set of rules to prevent @sshatary... I think its been an unwritten rule that any other forum that starts a thread here to invite guests are welcome however not an official meet (not that ppl don't attend other meets)

 

Yeah, like there is a Michigan Cars and Coffee meet posted about here, but that's not an S2000 event, just an event that I am attending and maybe a few other S2000 owners; so, in that sense, it really is "unofficial" but the posting is still of use and value to the community, and similar postings should definitely continue to occur. Similar "outsiders" so to speak (i.e, BMW owners, etc.), should feel welcome here.

 

zOMG everyone... why SO serious!!!!?!?!

Here let's just officiate things the right way...


It's like we're all designing some fancy filing cabinet, but have absolutely no files to put in it.

BRILLIANT!!!!!

LOL!!!!!!

 

I think I follow you now.

Last year, there were quite a few other forums advertising their meets within our community, at the time, we the CO's (Pete, Urmil, Charlie and I) discussed the issue. It was decided that those would not be added to the UMW event calendar as "official" UMW events. I believe we still hold true to this, though we don't want to discourage other forums trying to get their own forum better known, if the meet isn't S2000 focused, we didn't want to promote their meet over one of our own.

I like the idea of people attending other meets, we are all car enthusiasts, but we do need to keep the main focus on the S2000.

 

Now I know what was missing last saturday moonliver and dick jokes....they kind of go hand in hand.....
