yeah ive noticed this mate. it was great when i first joined there was loads on

[olliejones8]

yeah mate, kinda proved it with the only reply coming 3hrs 40mins after i posted.

I wouldnt mind having a chat with the Admins about what can be done to make the forum better, iv got a few ideas and i dont mind putting in the time. We shall see

alot of people usualy start with a corsa b as their 1st car
but once they get shut of it they turn to whateva forum of car they bought!
not me tho i stay tru to my roots!

plus more people tend to buy corsa-c,s these days not sure why they r ugly

gimme a corsa b anyday

[olliejones8]

Hi Octane, you say that but im a member of a few other Corsa Forums and they have a wide member base, online regular. Theres just some key things missing with this forum that i think if added would keep members and get people logging back onto the forum every couple of days (if not everyday) to keep up with the info and banter.

Shame because this was the first forum i joined when i got my corsa late last year but got so annoyed that posts werent getting answers i looked elsewhere.

[Octane2097]

i know what you mean, thing is i know tones of people with corsa-b,s they all tend to go on sheffcruise or performance direct forums
as the are the local crusing places round my area, i do usualy ask or try gettin them on here but for most people they cant be botherd with more than 1 forum

especialy as most curser forums are a wide viriaty of cars and not just a single type

didnt check the time on that i supose you could have a word with the admins and try and get stuff like flyers etc sorted out. i remember a while ago the site stop working for a while so that might be a main factor in people not coming back i.e tryed the web address a few time and never got it to work

[olliejones8]

yeah i know what you mean but theres so many things that could be done to pull people in. Winds me up

[kin9y]

ano what you mean mate but it is pretty hard to get people back on a site once they think its rubbish

[Octane2097]

well id have a giant sticker in my car with corsa b . co . uk but it would look very odd.... lol

[olliejones8]

Yeah im not a huge fan of the stickers but would put one on my car for the good of the forum.

[Octane2097]

should mabye tart it up a bit like corsa c or like seatcupra.net
maybe like a car of the month sort of thing and maybe like a VX racing secton for the 2008 BTCC or somthing
maybe a news section for vauxhall or somthing
maybe a seprate secion on how to
like how to fit induction kits or ice or sumthing like that

just a few ideas to start, i mean the seatcupra.net has aprox 14000 active members!

[olliejones8]

Yeah Octane mate thats the kinda things i was thinking, we defo need like a Feature car section and to be honest i think we need a few more Moderators (Maybe myself and you) to help make these things possible and help run the forum day to day.

I defo want to be more involved with getting this forum more memebers and more useful to its members

[kin9y]

well i think the first think should be to pm adam-d or paul w and run a few ideas past them

[Octane2097]

aye sounds like a plan, have to have a word with admin n see what we can do
think the problem is it would be alot of work to do and since there isnt many people on here to begin with.... it would be a waste
plus im guessing its not free to keep this forum open maybe theres some cost involved

we will have to have word with Paulw or adam-d see what we come up with.
