I know, he keeps telling us!, but he is doing a wonderful job. i understand that we always have to blame CLIVE!!!
Thanks for the welcome

It's only right that all F & TF drivers get together to prove that their woth it!!
The impressive bit even with clive onboard, is the new forum hasn't crashed yet, still waiting for it to go all horribly wrong

Hey guys thank god the resurrection has begun
being a top poster on the t-bar i was really dissapointed it died out however i think a few things might make it busy again and more to the point make me and others more inclined to stop here before other forums
first of all KEEP IT SIMPLE!!!
i stoppped posting on the t-bar when it got all complicated, all the best will in the world to kara she's far more technologically serfisticated than me and links to facebook/twitter and all the update stuff floating around was just too much for me and made going on the forum an effort (Spending my main job at the NHS around computers and part time at orange with evan more complicated ones i like my privet browsing as uncompliocated as possible, im sure im not the only one! and as i now use nearly 10 forums i avoid ones where things are a paint to find or view)
on that theme my other sujesterion revolves around the same theme of keep it simple
the bar was at its best when it was a small chat room
and i mean small as in areas to read posts not the numbers of posts (there is a colleration i reckon between a site with a few small ares which see a high traffic than a site where everything is spread out
if posts are concentrated it makes going into that area worth while as your likly to see several new posts
so
heres my suggestion, on the main page have this:
Newbies! - Post here and say hi! (which could and should imo be combined with general chat) so liek this:
Official Residence - Post your questions/suggestions here and find the forum rules and hear about forum annoucements and benefits!
General Chat - Talk about anything and everything (and say hi if your new!!!) [which i think is better than a newbie area as im a bugger for never visiting them myself to welcome new people lol]
so as well as general chat then
F/TF Chat - Everything F/TF related including techincal questions and problems and pics of your pride and joy!
Meets/Events - Post upcoming meets and pictures of meets and runs you've been on
How To's - In there have a list of all the how to's/resources which are now on the main page
Trade directory
For sale
Wanted
note a pets corner could be a linked separate are in general chat you know like the BRM area in the R25/ZR section of .org
once the forum picks up again the general chat area may need to be split but i very much doubt it
thoes few areas im sure will be more accessible, more often visited and much busier!
hope i've made a good argument for what i reckon would really improve the site (And i know from talking to people face to face is what allot of people want
