I think with the number of automotive minded folks we have, a section for automotive hints and help might be a good idea. Someplace where the person with a difficult automotive problem might be able to get help.
You can do that anywhere here. Especially the section called "BullRun Garage." This forum need more people. That's it really. Maybe some publicity or advertising will bring people here. Hell, a simple mention of the forum and website on a commercial will bring people in. I would suggest something that would suggest people to come to BullRun.com or it's forum to find out how to be a part of the show. Or create more hype about the next season to really be checking out forum members for casting. That should bring in some people. Just really even fooling people in coming here. Would also boost sales. Hell, I am not going to go into this to much because I don't like to give to many of my ideas out for free. I am just an @$$ like that. I really would change a lot about all of this. And I know I could make this into a larger following and even more profitable. But who am I to suggest anything. Whatever.
Actually I was thinking they could add it to the Bullrun Garage section.
Of course mentioning the Forum as a way to stay up to date and all might be a good idea. Then again, it could flood us with really childish folks and give us a need to have mods. We never had to have moderators before.
devnull- "...it could flood us with really childish folks and give us a need to have mods. We never had to have moderators before."
Well, yeah. But isn't that kind of want you want. I mean ideally without the childish drama but with more people. You don't open a new fast food store and hope for just a select few people to show up and eat so you don't have to hire more employees. You get as many people as you can into the store but it may be up to you to keep it a safe and manageable environment. But I guess it really is up to BullRun.com if the forum is that much of a priority or not. IDK, maybe some of the superfans here wouldn't mind being a MOD here if a lot of new people started showing up. The superfans here that has gone through the process and has been d*cked over can also be more so a mentor as well to some of these newer visitors as well.
Heat Seeker WS6- "How big do the owners of this site want this to be?..."
That is the question... But as it seems right now, it's just a hand full of people that this show doesn't really care for anyways. I mean take Nuki for example. It seems like the were yanking his chain around. Maybe if there was more people here, childish even, you guys would be distinguished from them. You were the ones that have stuck with it and will continue to fight to get in. Not just some young punk with honda with a exhaust tip that is just here to run his mouth.
But, as stated before, it all depends on the current MODS plans and goals for this forum. But if I had anything to do with it then I would advertise some more product here for some more cash flow and maybe even put in a Vendor section. And start to draw people in.
What about a rank system? You know, the little titles under your username, rank changes depending on how many posts you have (ex. Bullrun virgin, Bullrun regular, Rally Master etc.)
still thinking mods would be cool. Every single thread is off topic.

I would like to see a "New Posts" button. Once clicked, it should open up a new page and show the threads that have been updated since the last time the user has visited the site. Makes it much easier to catch up on things!
Can you adjust the Sig margins a bit, they keep cutting off the photos on the right side???

Hey Shaun, When you click on the "forum" link on the top it does not bring up all of the modules as if you click on the "forum" link on the left. Is that as intended?
ok Seaninnh thats fixed - - Hey Shaun, When you click on the "forum" link on the top it does not bring up all of the modules as if you click on the "forum" link on the left. Is that as intended?
TeamShelby - ok I have instaled Emoticons above the comment sindow you will see smileys click on it, all you do is click and drag the face you want to the comment window. Enjoy.
This isn't exactly forum related, but I would like to see an alternate header image for the website in general. Instead of always having the Bullrun 2006 NY-LA with the words "Bullrun, Rallying the world", maybe you could find another image or two to put up there and have them randomize so that we're not always looking at the same thing over and over again. It's just a thought.
I really like what you have done with the website Shaun! A lot better than the older website!
I know I would like the inbox to alert me when I have an email. That would help a lot.
How about the 10 most recent posts.
Maybe a chat box?
I'll edit when I think of more.
Shaun,
I want my own blog area! I don't like to share.. Hey doesn't it seem like it's all about us... Of couse it does.. but thanks for all your givin.
Thanks
Aaron - Team VW

I'd be happy to moderate here. I moderate my own forum so what's 1 more. I spend enough time on here, that's for sure lol.
I read every post and I'm not a forum nazzi, but I would make sure people follow the TOS and are not insulting to other memebers.
The ability to embed videos in the forums would be nice

Sure, you can embed youtube videos, but what about Streetfire.net? Quality is way better, plus it's all about cars!

Hey Shaun,
Can you add a timestamp to our profiles that shows when we were last online?
This isn't exactly forum related, but I would like to see an alternate header image for the website in general. Instead of always having the Bullrun 2006 NY-LA with the words "Bullrun, Rallying the world", maybe you could find another image or two to put up there and have them randomize so that we're not always looking at the same thing over and over again. It's just a thought.
I really like what you have done with the website Shaun! A lot better than the older website!
