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. Glen |

#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 don't know a good forum title, but at times I want a dialogue about mechanical design subjects which aren't unique to Pontiacs. At present I have two examples-
1) Silent-chain camshaft drives, such as are OE on most pushrod engines. After reading about the advantages of silent-chain (HY-VO and others) on Morse's very informative website, I'm wondering why aftermarket cam drives are all roller-chains. I find it fascinating that silent-chain design exhibits zero (ZERO!) friction during chain bend/unbend. 2) Resilient driveshafts, such as the ISO-TEC line made by MSI for engine dynos- supposedly the most demanding application of any automotive-sized driveshaft. The ISO-TEC shafts are double-tube, with an elastomer between the tubes. To me, it's an intrigueing idea, since I've had 'unsolvable' vibration problems with certain 'big engine/small vehicle' combinations. Maybe name it "Mechanical Design" forum? (Thanks in advance- for moving these two discussion topics to the new forum, once you've added it!) Edit: Looks like I didn't post this in the right place. I saw "...additional topic ideas" and was thinking it said "... additional forum ideas". Don't know where I should post it? Last edited by Jack Gifford; 04-14-2007 at 11:05 PM. |

1. Maybe a forum showing businesses, services related to cars, that members have used; it can show members' ratings, good/bad comments, etc.
2. List transport services that have been used by members; comments, ratings, etc. |

new forum
how about a transmission and rear axle forum in the TECH area? right now you have to post in pontiac street or suspention forum.also a volunteer forum where people can sign up online to help with inspection,or transport or help salvage old pontiacs in their area.a virtual map can be put up with thumbtacks of every one that signs up,and other members can contact them that way.practical machinist.com does this in antique machinery hauler group forum.
