Ok, here's the plan and we need your input to decide if it's viable?

We thought it might be a benefit to the registered users of this forum (guests would be excluded) to have a list of members contact information.

To address privacy and security concerns, we'd only ask that you include your first name and screen name, a contact number (would recommend a cell number over a home number) and the general location where you reside.

Info removed for now for security purposes.

Here's the reason. Lets say you or a loved one is travelling, vette or otherwise and have an emergency. Maybe you call AAA or other roadservice and have to wait an hour or so. There's some places I wouldn't want my wife, daughter & granddaughter waiting alone. The police will occasionally standby with you but that depends on thier availability.

It'd be nice to be able to call a forum member. I know if anyone here were travelling through our area and was in a jam, call me and I'd do everything I could to get to you to help or get you some assistance.

This forum has felt like family from the beginning and I'm sure there are others here that feel the same way.

From out of town and need recommendations on food/lodging/locations to avoid (even shops if you're borken down away from home)? Again, call a friend from the forum.

Might find yourself suddenly out of town and with some spare time on your hands, or like myself, I'm sure there are people here who travel daily. I spend a lot of time in the Bradenton/Sarasota and Pinellas County areas. It'd be cool to be able to contact a forum member and get together for lunch, dinner, drinks or just to bs about cars

UPdate and print off a copy occasionlly and the family could keep a copy in thier purse, day planner, whatever or possibly up load it to an Ipod or planner?

Again, this would be strictly voluntary and limited to the registered users of the forum only.

So, give us your feedback please

Thanks,

Gordon

Thanks for the feedback sir

If this goes over well. I'll place all the informationinto a separate forum, maybe organized by geographic location or ????

Then we'll make a sticky of it and we're off to the races

I like the idea.

Are guests able to access THIS thread?
If so, I'd refrain from putting contact info HERE.

Shadow · 09-23-2007, 02:38 PM

Thanks guys

Ray, add your info bro.

Lets leave this open a few days or maybe a week and see how others view it?

One way or the other, we can still use it, even if there's limited participation (which I don't think will be the case

)

I'll just start droppiung them in there as you guys post them.

Yeah, this would be a great feature, but I think this thread should be considered as a "testing of the waters", and not the actual place to put that info. And yes, guests CAN view this thread and this forum. I would need to set up a special forum for this after figuring out a way to make it in such a format that will be useful to everyone. Maybe divided into geographical areas might be helpful.

So let's consider this as a brain-storming thread to figure out whether you all want this, and if so, how best to implement it.

So, do I put my info here or do I wait to see where we gonna put the post?

I think it's a great idea!!
