hey gents… thanks for taking me up on this discussion. in the long term i think it’s beneficial for all. right now the forum is sitting in a hidden section of our network but it is active and fully functional. in the short term, rather than giving the forum its own VB license and reskinning it we can redirect some domains here and then build the forum anew if it makes sense to do so. i have some domains registered already… zcar.ca and zcars.ca and some others… but what are you thoughts on what the domain should be to capture the 350z and g35 crowd? should it be made all Canada or focus on local guys? I know SG Motorsport is on-board and our other vendors will be as well… i’d also like to reach out to others who could help make this fly and see how we can integrate their interests as well. thoughts? ---

hey hey whats going on ladies… I definitely think having a forum specific to Ontario of even Canada Z’s and G’s is definitely beneficial. So what you want to do is have whatever domain zcar.ca zcars.ca or whichever we go with, to just redirect to [canadanissan.com](http://canadanissan.com)?? And then if it gets big enough create a new forum? It could definitely be Canada specific and then separate the provinces…but I also think an Ontario forum will also be successful and the majority of member would be from Ontario. might be a good idea to just start telling people at all the meets to join…we could even start this weekend at Importfest…I could just bug all the guys there with Z and G to join. dunno if its ready though? ---

i can set up the domains pretty quick but i think that we should start a FB group with several of us and potentially others as admin so that we can invite z/g owners that we know into the group and launch that way if you think setting up the domains this week will help by redirecting them here i can do that. i definitely think we need to find a couple more well known guys in the community to be mods / promoters for the forum. moreover, i also beleive that people who have their own business or similar should be welcome to promote their businesses through here to help it grow. we have arrangements like that on the other forums here where guys get special arrangements for their assistance. same would go for this… even more so in the beginning. ---

Well it doesn’t necessarily have to be this weekend. I was just saying that so I can spread some word at ImportFest. I could always gets there names or emails and contact them at a later date when everything is up and running Did you want to go ahead and start a Facebook Group? ---

i managed to get a diff today… needed that bad. anyways… i’ll try to show at Blains meet. maybe we could put this subject on the agenda? i’ve asked blain to post in here but he hasnt got around to it yet. i think he doesnt realize that these forums all pull of the same user database so his account on SON transfers right over, we just dont carry over the cookies. ---

i think that is what we ned to discuss here. I’d like to see a few more guys actively involved in a discussion so that I can get the forum set up the way that people want. As mentioned, i think an FB group should be set up as well to help promote and communicate events etc. using forums only is not the best way to do this anymore. Before that, i guess we need to decide what we want to call everything so that we can get the proper domains set up and the facebook group. i have zcar and zcars.ca registered but i dont know if that really captures everything. ---

QUESTIONS: If we assume there is value in setting up a proper regionally run forum we need to call it something… what should it be called? Is the tentative format i’ve set up sufficient or should there be changes / additions to it? I think if we just address those two issues first i’ll get things set up and we can move on from there. ---

Hey Guys - Moving out of the 240 world and into the big boys club. I think a Canada wide Z forum would be excellent, however I do not know how prosperous. I think that an Ontario (basically GTA) section will be most fruitful due to the market concentration. Living in London, I see quite a few modded Z’s around this are (15 for every 1 240sx) so I think maybe some sub categories would be good to (local meets, local parts for sale etc). OZF - Ontario Z Forum OZC - Ontario Z Chat ZCO - Z Chassis Ontario NZCO - Nissan Z Car Ontario Just a few that sprung to mind. ---

i just renewed some domains but i think we need to agree on what this should all be called. after that, i think that we should grow the facebook group with common friends that have the cars. i’m not an expert on FB so i have to figure out how to make the page easier to find and for others to join… one of our issues on SON is that we dont make strong use of FB… i’d like to change that this time. ---
