How about an "other cars" or similar forum? Seems to be a number of questions in the old lobby about other antiques and daily drivers.

A humorous section; talk about the idiots that you come across at the autoparts counter. Swap stories of the stupidity you see in the automotive world.

What about a EBAY scam section ? Seems to be a new posting everyday.

Since your asking here are a few of my ideas:

1. Forum for non-Pontiac auto related stuff. Many members have other makes, models, bikes, etc that would be easy to find info on those and keep the threads seperate from the Pontiac stuff.

2. Forum for eBay related autions, advice, scam alerts, deadbeat reporter, helpful links, etc, etc.

3. Possibly consider adding a PY reputation score to each members profile. It could be similar to the ebay feedback system with the exception that both PY members would need to acknowledge the transaction prior to the feedback actually being left. It could include comments similar to ebay or merely be a number attached to each members profile that would give other PY members an idea of the who they are about to deal with.

4. A PY Garage forum where members can post pics and comments about their rides. I realize we already have that capability but the garage section in a forum format makes for easier navigation.

Just my $.02 on a great site.

1) Maybe add the topic "inspecting cars or parts" for fellow members. I've done this in both directions and it is super helpful.
-- i.e. Looking for a fellow member to inspect a car in the Seattle area.

2) The handy-man topic is a good idea. That could almost be part of it's own forum titled "Around The Home"

3) Computers and networking (maybe consumer electronics in general).

A PY Celebrities Forum.

For PY Members who have been in Magazines like HPP, Car Craft, Pontiac Enthusiast ect. Not everyone has subscriptions, so it would be nice for the pictures and stories to be posted here for all to enjoy.

By the way, my moment of fame in the April 07 HPP, "My Pontiac and Me" Feature 4 pages!

A religious/political forum to keep all the arguing in one section. It can be easily avoided by those who chose to. If you don't want your bubble busted don't post or view here


A look at my stuff for sale on ebay section would be nice too.

What a great segway MA. I agree with the need for some sort of an ebay section. I like when members post auctions of cars that have some sort of notoriety.

#1 biggie that a lot of other forums have

a "what is it worth" topic area (which specifically includes anything ebay related)
in each one of our forum areas, there's routinely 3 or 4 posts for people asking what xxx car or part is worth, whether xxx is a good deal, or what they should ask for xxxx, or screaming about an ebay auction - etc etc

I think thats a good idea myself. However, Im sure that some crybaby would still be stupid enough to go read posts there and whine about it. In my opinion it was simple enough as it was............if you see a topic with a title that you may not like then dont read it........if you dislike a certain persons posts use the ignore feature. Seems pretty simple to me but some people apparently have thin skin and have to continuously whine about things they dont agree with........petty BS.

Pro-touring/resto-mod. It would be nice to have a place to post and not be ridiculed for wanting larger than stock rims

You could also rename the Electrical section to "As George K. a question"

Some sort of progress forum. It would be nice to chronicle the progress of those under restoration in one place.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
