Hey all, just been noticing lately our numbers seem to be dropping. We have over 5000 registered users, about 200 that regularly use the site, and maybe a dozen that come out to meets/cruises. Are there any issues that are not being addressed with the site or club? We don’t seem to have the interest we once had. I admit things are a little slow this year, but we have new people on the BOD learning new stuff which may hinder things a bit, but we’re still moving forward. There is some concern that things are heading downwards, and it would be a shame if the club had to just pack up and dissolve. We are trying hard to make this year a great one for our members and our club.
If anyone has an idea or suggestion that would help make this club more appealing or more useful, please feel free to post it up. We need your input to help make this club what is should be.
Excellent point. I feel strongly that this may be a contributing factor. Im feeling the penny pinch … working only 2 days a week for the last month and trying to save for our Vancouver island vacation. Yeah it sucks big time. I even kinda have to watch how much I drive, 1/8 of a tank for sure for a Friday night cruise etc. I think it attendance will recover along with the economy.
I have noticed this site has been dead alot longer than we have been in the recession. The web site is dead it dosen’t cost money to post. When I joined in 2006 it seemed alot busier i was a paying member back then I personally didn’t find I got anything for my money I live out of town and can’t make alot of the functions so i never renewed my membership local guys might get more for the money with the BBQ . Me personally there is not alot for me here as far as technical info or other heavily modded VQ35s hopefully that ill come as they become more popular. I don’t know what the issue is but I wish things would pick up it is nice to connect with local Nissan owners i like all Nissans not just the platforms I own and I was hoping the recent picture share thread would take off so we could see what everyone drives and see some nice local cars.
So last time I checked the sentra was a Nissan, Also when I joined the NECC was a 240/GTR car club. You know what man when I joined the club I didn’t care weather your car was a Nissan Multi or a Nissan quest. I love Nissans. If you’re so narrow minded that a sentra isn’t a worthy car to be part of the necc well then that’s your problem. The only reason we have so many Sentra’s is because the owners are the only ones who want to see this club continue. It’s sad but that’s the way it is.
He asked why numbers dropped, i gave an answer. Sounds like it was pretty tough for you to swallow.
necc died and when it was revived all the cool people had peaced out.
Track days are my favorite part of NECC. I still mention NECC first when I’m talking with guys who want to push their cars to the limit. Autocross is a ton of fun and serves a valuable purpose for teaching car control in a safe environment.
I’ve been away from the forum for quite some time because it was filled with childish flame wars and other drivel. Not trying to start a fight. Just saying. I mod on GTRC and I know what it’s like to keep a lid on things - not an easy task! Especially when it starts to slide. Hats off to guys who look after things here!
I don’t get out to meets because between running a 24/7 oilfield service business and being a dad and husband there is only time for racing. You can socialize at the track, but you can’t race at a social! LOL (I kill me!)
Anyhow, the guys I’ve met at NECC track days are pretty much 100% great guys. Post up registration and I’ll do my best to be there!
i havnt been to many meets because they dont match up with my schedule. i work 2 weekends out of the month, the 2 i have off, im out partying.
also i havnt been really into the nissan scene much because im trying to get a bmw now. ive talked to a few guys that used to be sponsors and they said they didnt renew their sponsorship because the rates are ridiculous for how much traffic this forum gets.
theres nothing wrong with the way this club is run, i guess it just needs more exposure to get the popularity up.
we dont have a how to section even though it was brought up before. im sure there are other things that i cant think of.
i like the guys that get out to the meets, its just i dont have time to come out as much…
Well it looks like some dumb asshole has fucked up the site. It would appear we’ve been hacked, my account is totally fucked up and I can no longer post or participate in these forums until the hacker is found and dealt with. If anyone needs to contact me please shoot an email or look me up on MySpecV.com. I have the same user name there as well. :thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:
Well, I’m still locked out so I guess my days as an admin are done. I cannot create new posts or anything so it’ll be up to those that can to keep the site updated until this issue is resolved:angry:
