So I'm thinking about making some recruiter cards for this place. Opinions?

We've got quite a few regulars, but I think we need to get some new members, maybe get some new questions and really try to expand this place. What do you guys/gals think?

I can make a couple hundred cards for like $15, I just wanted to see what you guys think.

 

I'm just gonna write the url on the back of my business cards.

 

Good idea, we need more members and I've spread the word around a lot.

 

Well I don't know if we need to recruit any more members from your area...Lord knows we've got enough Florida members on here already haha

 

Orlando isn't my area...they may as well be in another state...lol.

We need more panhandle members though, damnit.

 

I found a deal an hour ago where you can get 1k business cards for free. You just have to pay for shipping.

No, they don't put their logo on it or anything. It's completely legit.

LOL. You guys should hire an airplane with a banner, then have him drop cards as he flies over

 

For sure...and I've never used UPrinting before. I've always used vistaprint, same deal...just pay for shipping.

 

This idea has come up before. We need this site looking better before we try to recruit ppl in my opinion. Probably the shittiest looking layout of all the forums I've seen lol. Coolest ppl and great info, but first impression is a killer. The old silver saleen layout looked good, sucks it was lost and sucks we don't have the power to let Kevin take over the layout now. Just my 2 cents.

 

I just tell people on other forums about us. The new white cobra came from fuelslut where i sent him a PM. But if you wanna do it hell yeah go for it. Get some more members here.

 

Yeah, this is the only forum I'm on really (other than M1R)....So with the Recruiter Cards I was hoping to get more mustangs in state/town to join. I know we've got two guys in town with SN95 Saleens, another guy with a Mach1, and a guy I've seen around in a yellow GT with the full stalker kit so I thought the next time I see there cars (should they not be around) I could leave a recruiter card. Maybe give Chris and Jon some too to give to people on the other side of the state too, maybe.

 

We need people who like to have fun and joke around, but at the same time can give serious and helpful advice. A lot of the new members who have come and gone so quickly were not so good in the helpful area.

 

i think its a good idea

 

We central Florida people have discussed this amongst ourselves before. I'm completely with Sean and Dustin on this one. No point in spending any amount of money making cards to draw people here unless we make it more visually appealing. For now, we should stick to just word of mouth, or telling people on forums about us.

And in regards to what 00blkstanggt said, I agree with that as well. But the problem with that is out of 10 new people we get to sign up here, maybe 3 will give some helpful advice in regards to technical issues. However, out of those 3, maybe only 1 will actually know what the hell he is talking about. While the other 2 are internet mechanics who damn sure like to boast about how smart they are and how they can turn the **** out of a wrench, but can't wipe their own *** in real life.

 

I agree that we should get this place to be more visually appealing first, but we don't have a ton of control there. I don't know how often the site admins are checking up on this place now that the updates are done.

 

I will see if I can get them to give us a new forum skin.

 

Very true very true.. I would be happy with cool people who might not know anything, but would like to learn and aren't here just to be AMs next douche of the month/year.

 

Me, too. I've actually learned quite a bit since I joined and continue to do so every day.

 

Whats wrong with the current one?

lol..
