Do we have a chance in hell?
 
Of being true MFrz and getting this place off the ground?

Legend 07-31-2011 05:30 PM

lol @ choices

Prospero 07-31-2011 05:34 PM

Hell, this should be fun and sometimes it's good to have new site to play in :)

Nikwit 07-31-2011 05:50 PM

I'm wondering if anything will be different than Miata.net? I think if there is something decidedly different, then this site can succeed, but if it's the same thing just at a different URL, there's really no reason for people to switch over.

MF-Rick 07-31-2011 05:55 PM

What needs to be different?

I mean, we certainly arent trying to replicate any one site, including MT.

What do you think this site needs to succeed aside from content (which will come over time)

FRT_Fun 07-31-2011 05:58 PM

I think that fact that MT.net people will be the initial majority of the members will make this site different enough. IDK if that is a good or bad thing.

Nikwit 07-31-2011 05:58 PM

Well, like I said, I think it needs to offer something different than Miata.net. Otherwise, what would motivate people to move here? It would probably just be the same people talking about the same things. I'm not trying to say it's a bad idea, I mean...I'm here, obviously, so I'm excited about what might happen here.

FRT_Fun 07-31-2011 06:04 PM

I'm hoping for a non-trolled, non-oldfart site where I can waste the other half of my day that I don't waste on MT.net.

Nikwit 07-31-2011 06:07 PM

What I would like to see, is maybe a locale-based section. Miata.net is great, but I've never actually met anyone from it.

y8s 07-31-2011 06:08 PM

options 3 and 4.

+....1 :D

Maybe a few trolls to break up the monotony of the routine.

90R 07-31-2011 06:13 PM

I'd like to see a strong non-FI, tech representation.

Rocky64 07-31-2011 06:18 PM

I hope style bars make a comeback.

FRT_Fun 07-31-2011 06:19 PM

We need to preban all IPs from Florida.

Tallgeese 07-31-2011 06:22 PM

Is it really all of Florida or just a select few?

Yo Rick, cool site.

FRT_Fun 07-31-2011 06:27 PM

A select many.

People on turbo forum jump on the posts that can be considered "dumb" questions to some, with no help just hate for not knowing the answer.

I hope I'm not included!

By the way, thanks for the military help on MT.

18psi 07-31-2011 06:36 PM

this would be a good idea. cr has something like that which helps make local sales easier and setting up meets.

18psi 07-31-2011 06:39 PM

so wait, we're trying to be like m.net/cr.net? omfg this site is doomed

clos561 07-31-2011 06:42 PM

no it just helps keep things organized.

pusha 07-31-2011 06:42 PM

I voted for #3.

FRT_Fun 07-31-2011 06:43 PM

OMG he's here...

I'm glad you are located at your email address.

Track 07-31-2011 06:45 PM

I really think a locale section would be good...If we can keep people active in it.

Gearhead_318 07-31-2011 06:50 PM

will there be a herrafrush thread?

18psi 07-31-2011 06:51 PM

stai stetti brah

prb 08-01-2011 06:47 PM

Is there a goals page or something that explains what you want the site to become?

Is there a rules page so people can avoid falling into the void?

thirdgen 08-01-2011 06:54 PM

1,3,&4. Mostly #3. If I was a mod, there would be insta-bans issued reffered to option #3.

FRT_Fun 08-01-2011 06:58 PM

Glad Gearhead_318 thinks this site has no chance ;)

Seems to be doing well.

Doppelgänger 08-01-2011 07:08 PM

I voted #3.

I think Rick should impliment a new rule: No using your typical screenname from MT/CR/Mnet. This way we can eliminate any prejudice from seeing specific people.

Yes?

Track 08-01-2011 07:14 PM

^I am good with that. I am not using my m.net/cr/mt.net screen name...although its probably not hard to figure out who I am. not a lot of us NCers.

FRT_Fun 08-01-2011 07:19 PM

I don't care if you know who I am from there. Well I only post on MT. But don't care.

It only delays the inevitable. When people are prone to show their ass, they don't generally care where they do it. Eventually you see it wherever they go.

Doppelgänger 08-01-2011 07:22 PM

There may have been a bit of sarcasm in my post, BTW.

Just some negative reinforcement. Pusha voted not let himself in.

loki34 08-01-2011 08:26 PM

Being a new Miata owner, first summer, the problem with the older sites is if you have a question and try to search for an answer the list can be so long you get frustrated. I hope on this site the better informed will help us noobs catch up with progress. On the other sites you need to download a legend to understand what all the abreviations stand for, kinda makes it hard at times.

Track 08-01-2011 08:30 PM

^lol. yea, I used to complain a lot about people not searching, but I guess its hard to get a good grasp of what to search for if you don't even know the terms.

faeflora 08-01-2011 08:34 PM

Forums with a Z for extra funky and stylin!

I think this should be the miata noob and moron site. Set up a web redirect for anyone with a Florida IP to come here instead of miataturbo.net

Dipshiz noobs who can't spell or are irreparably dumb should be banned from mt.net and sent an email to come here.

With miatas approaching extreme affordability, the influx of stupid is coming.

FRT_Fun 08-01-2011 08:45 PM

I think with the amount of users we banish from MT.net for stupidity we could send here and have a fairly nice size site where stupidity is allowed to a certain extent. Almost like a stepping stone to MT.net.
