[DeTomaso] Email Forum Opportunity

Tue Apr 19 15:14:55 EDT 2016

My friend Bill (aka SOB),

I am here more for the social aspect of people then cars. I have grown to
call you all my friends. This is something that dose not happen on a forum
very often, or if it does it is with a very few people.

I have opened my home and my heart to every one of you who as passed by
Cleveland in the last 16 years. This has not happened to anyone I know from
a non email forum. Yes I am on a few.

It will be a very very sad day for me when I stop getting yours and everyone
else's emails.

Quoting a great man "Now you have my not so humble opinion."

Larry - Cleveland

Michael,

I know I am old, but not too old for change.

The PI Forum model works like this:
A mail man puts all the new mail in a wall of pigeon holes according  to 
topic.
You look at the wall of pigeon holes and wonder "What's new." Hmmm, no  
clue.
You look thru 40 pigeon holes to see if something interesting had been  
entered.

Better to be able to look down a list of subjects (like the current forum)  
and read only the topics of interest. Maybe such a list could be added as  
the entry point to the new forum.

Now you have my not so humble opinion.

Bill Taylor

The main  thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
Do the best you can with what  your have where you are.
Have fun today!
SOBill

This  email forum currently uses the poca.com domain or URL.

The new website  will be taking it over in the next few weeks and the forum
is  not

compatible with the servers at our new host.

We are going to  archive all the forum emails and eventually place them in a
searchable  database on the new website.

The new website will have a far superior  forum system, like PI Forum,
except much better.

It will have over  40 topics.

Every Chapter willl have their own private forum as well. (  only Chapter
members can see or post in those )

The BOD has two  choices,

1) allow this forum to be adopted by somebody who will foster  it
( there are some conditions, regarding privacy issues since  all the
email addresses are in the archives.)

or

2) Let it  die.

There are no other options.

If anybody out there wants to  take it over, please contact me ASAP.

You must provide a hosting  solution and you will be the one fighting
hackers and spammers 24./7.   It is no picnic.

the new website has amazing security and all these  constant problems of
people being kicked off will be a faded  memory.

I know it is not a popular decision, but one that can not be  avoided.

If you love it, step up and own it.
