• Got the Contributing Memberships stuff finally worked out and made up a thread as a sort of "How-To" to help people figure out how to participate. So if you need help figuring it out, here's the thread you need to take a look at -> http://www.corvetteflorida.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3581 Thank you, everyone! Rich Z.

Finally hit 400 registered members!

Took us a while, though....... Yeah, I know, I need to be promoting the site more. I've got some people working on business cards and promotional flyers, so hopefully they will come through. Anyone else want to throw their hat into the ring? The more design help the better.

I'm still not out of my busy season yet. But one more show to do and maybe things will start slowing down a bit. But I try to invite anyone I see who looks like a Florida Corvette owner. So at least I'm trying to do the best I can with what time I have available.

But it sure would help if we could get MOST of those 400 registered members participating here more. That would help out quite a bit. We don't even get 50 of them checking in here during a 24 hour period. So what can we do to hogtie them and bring 'em on back? Tasers? :lmao:

Oh well, let's just try to come up with things of interest to talk about. That should help. Right now superchargers and turbo charges are big on my interest list. Too bad I don't know all that much about them or I could talk about them like I knew what the heck I was talking about. Anyone out there with a lot of knowledge willing to post a tutorial? I would say a "which one is best" but those kinds of conversations usually wind up a verbal mud wrestling event.

And what do we need to do to get Anti Venom back here? I've heard Greg has been sick. How about Tom? I'm thinking about buying HPTuners and I need those guys handy when I get into trouble.......... :rolleyes:

Tom is an administrator on Z06Vette and I have not seen a post from him in over a month.

Like you, I'm not very creative. I've tried coming up with ideas to no avail. I have however, seen a logo for another company that I really liked the idea of. It's the National Aviation Academy here in Pinellas county. Something like this with a Corvette silhouette would be cool I think.

Things are moving along slow but sure Rich. Rome wasn't built in a day, so 400, is a nice # for now.:thumbsup:

Was I number 398 ? :dancer01:

Well we have now hit over 500 registered members, adding the additional 100 in just about a month's time. Not too shabby, I guess. Now that I am getting more free time, relatively speaking, I can put more effort into actively promoting the site. Still working on a flyer, so if anyone wants to get a packet of them to distribute, please let me know via PM. When I have the design finalized, I'll get several thousand printed up.

But on the home front, let's give visitors a reason to stay. That means initiating some conversations, and not letting any question go unanswered. Nothing is more frustrating to someone than to just feel they are being ignored.

Certainly between Corvette topics and Florida topics, there must be SOMETHING everyone can talk about here! Or do you all want me to start posting more about snakes to liven things up???? :reddevil:

Thanks.

legalgus from the Corvette Forum. I checked and I previously signed up for your site. Very nice. Haven't been able to participate much with some other things going on at home, etc.. Hope to be a bit more active later on down the road.

No problem! I know what it is like to be way too busy for everything you WANT to do.

Thanks for stopping by.
 
Well, we ALMOST added another 100 by November 1. Got 598 registered members right at this moment.

We're getting just over 70 registered members to check in during a 24 hour period, so where the heck are the other 528 members? :shrug01:

WORKING FOR A LIVING!!!!!

:lmao:

I THINK AFTER THE "UCP" SHOW AND THE SILVER SPRINGS SHOWS, WE WILL HIT 1000 MEMBERS! IS ANYONE GOING TO DO FLIER'S AT THE SILVER SPRINGS SHOW? THIS SATURDAY NOVEMBER 4TH!!!.....WE NEED TO SLAM THAT SHOW HARD WITH FLIERS....."UCP" IS DOING 450 IN THE GOODY BAGS AND THAT WILL GET US ALOT OF EXPOSURE ALSO.

P.S.: GOOD JOB RICH!!!!!
 
Those are great results I think! The goal of 1000 by Jan '07 seems to be a good goal as well.

Good work Rich. :thumbsup:
 
Well, next week I should have a box of 5,000 flyers. Guess I had better get a few more shipping boxes for them as well. I don't have any idea how many fit in a box, but I'm guessing around 250 or so.

If anyone wants some flyers drop me a PM and let me know. I've got a couple people on the list now just waiting on the flyers to get done.

Thanks everyone for helping out. This is not all my doing. This place is only going to be as good as the people coming here. And so far it looks like we are well on the way of becoming a truly EXCEPTIONAL place to hang out.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

But man, 1,000 members by January 1? :eek: That's one hell of a target!

I have to echo that Rich. CONGRATULATIONS! :dancer01:

Tom :wavey:
 
I too am excited about this site. I feel that I have met some new friends with a common interest. Even though I haven't met anyone in person yet.

A BIG THANK YOU to Rich Z for making this happen! :thumbsup:
 
Thanks guys! We just edged over the 800 registered members mark. Honestly, unless something really unusual happens, I don't think there is any possibility of hitting the 1,000 member mark by Jan 1.

Still have some flyers if anyone wants some. Got a couple of boxes to send out to people who have requested some, but Christmas stuff has had the priority lately....

Thanks........
