Suggestion: A DIY Forum

Submitted by buster on Sat, 2005-10-15 11:16. Suggestion Box

Suggest the addition of a DIY forum for maintenance and repair, else those questions might get stuck under other (less appropriate) topics like General Discussion or Cleanliness and Godliness.

Thanks

I had debated this when setting up the taxonomy of the forum. At this point, with the site just under way and relatively light traffic, I'd rather have the bulk of general maintenance and DIY repair fall under General Discussion. My logic is that these topics are subsets of their respective models, so we can branch them off later into subforums should the General 2004+, etc. forums become cluttered. Currently we only have two posts :-(

Incidentally we got listed in the open directory project, DMOZ. As the only exclusively-Quest site on the 'net, our traffic has been steadily growing.

DIY Forum

Submitted by buster on Sat, 2005-10-15 16:46.

OK. Had a few topics I wanted to post, but wasn't sure what to put them under. Thanks for setting up and maintaining the site--probably not that many minivan enthusiast sites out there, but it's nice to have a place to chat with others about the van, especially since we plan to keep ours for a while. :)

In the meantime I'll post my ??s under the General Discussion forum. As I run into other Quest owners, I'll be sure to tell them about the site.

There are other minivan enthusiast sites out there. Odyclub.com, Siennaclub.com, MPVclub.com. Questclub.com was taken -- quest is a pretty common noun, alot of RPG sites out there... I love our van and really want to thank you and the other dozen members for signing up, reading and posting. We seem to have a pretty decent RSS base as well. Wish I could track that better! It felt pretty lonely at first getting this site up, but traffic and membership is steadily growing, slower than I'd like but hey I gotta admit most minivan owners are scrambling with their kids and haven't got time. I know I squeeze this in some pretty rare free moments.

Thanks for spreading the word. Obviously alot of my time is spent on promotion now and generating content when I can.

Logos

Yeah I know about cafepress and others. We're only a couple months old, and I'd no graphic designer, so I'll be enlisting a real artist to revamp our logo and maybe even take a look at the site theme, etc. Look for stickers, etc. by Q1 2006 along with a new look for the site (maybe)
