Okay I guess I’ll say it. What’s going on with NECC? I’m sure everyone has noticed new posts counts are low, and there isn’t really much being posted on the forum in general. Also attendance seems to be dropping at events.
What’s going on? It’s dead like winter time around here.
I was thinking of another forum where I will and maybe a select other few can post info that is actually useful. Tech shit and builds to keep people looking and help with they’re builds with info that actually makes sense and is helpful. People that cant post can PM me they’re info and if its correct I will post it up with there name for the credit. Ausi forums have shit like this and its very useful to even me but I would like to see this good info in one site. This can make tons more people come to this site to look and then they will post other stuff too I’m sure. I was thinking of doing this on my worldcarlink site but on a car forum would be the best place.
If that sounds cool let me know and I can let you guys know more info.
I’ll be the first to apologize. We (the board and everyone else who chips in on a regular basis) haven’t been able to dedicate as much time to the club as we have in past years and it obviously shows. I don’t want to make excuses for us, but I know the handful of us who do the majority of the work have become exponentially busier outside of the club over the past fews months.
So long story short, we need HELP. So far it has been our fault for not asking. But we need trustworthy, reliable people who can pitch in to run events, moderate, etc.
I know there are a lot of you out there, so I guess now is your chance to speak up.
i’m always willing to help out if anyone needs a hand with anything, i’d say i’m pretty trustworthy
i’ve noticed that forums dropping quite a bit as well lately and we need to get some more people on here…i paid the dues wheres my stickers to recruit the new guys!
Now that I have job where the weekends are free, consider me as a helper for all track events. I’ll be a pylon bitch, flag bitch, timer, whatever is need…
I’ve already tried to be knowledgeable. but I guess I come across as an asshole…
Hell if I would be allowed Help plan monthly events.
I also have said I would always be able to help. When do you guys have re elections for the board of director’s positions? I know Mr. Invalid Zero is logged on here every time I am on.
someone needs o se up a meeing with MORE than a day or two notice. Then maybe people will actually come and tell what they can do to help and make sure the directors are there to give the yes its a go deal and just do it.
4 people here have just offered help and I am sure there is more. That is plenty to turn this shit for the better!
I check the site everyday, to see if there’s any questions i can answer or at least point them in the right direction, to update myself on events and to see what’s for sale . . .
I would like to help out as much as i could, i’ve got tons of time on my hands when i’m off work . . .
Maybe give web a different look.
Add more sections for: diy autobody, Track time’s etc
Maybe replace monthly meets with events instead. Create a few new events.
i dunno.anyone else has suggestions.
i think a big problem on this forum is the lack of help.i believe the forum should emphasize on helping others. there are so many threads where people are cut down because they ask a question that quite a few people know…instead of all those people who know telling them to search on google,they should give them the advice,or just not say anything at all.it is discouraging to new members or ones that believe enthusiasts are people with enthusiasm to help others with one common interest,but yet they are told to search elsewhere.i joined this club because i thought others would be happy to see the same enjoyment as i would for a nice nissan as i am sure many others did also.i also joined for the knowledge of other people and to use my knowledge to give to other people.i believe that if necc gets the reputation of helping club members and who care about others rides,then it will grow.
i think we definatly need a new look on the board.
What happened to the monthly meets? ive never heard anything about them anymore, as im sure nobody has been going.
Honestly, i think the only thing keeping NECC alive is the FS section, and the track days.
What Garret said, i think there should be some less bashing towards the guys who ask questions. You wonder why the board is so dead? well people joined other forums where they could get some actual advice instead of just “search noob”.
Just seems as the interest has died off because nobody wants to go to the meets because they have got boring. If there were more discussions on the board that people contributed in, im sure there would be more traffic through it.
Its going to be hard to get sponsors for a board that nobody uses…
Your thoughts and comments are appreciated. In these winter months coming up, there will be some major changes and improvements to almost every aspect of the club. Stay tuned. We need your continued support for this club to survive. This includes coming to meetings/meets, giving your honest thoughts (pros/cons) etc.
