-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lee Tilton Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2007 8:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [F500] Forum vs Mailing List I agree with what Rob says below. We should use his site that already exists. In fact you will see that I posted there a few times thinking I could get info. I have moderated and managed forums before as I stated in a previous post. Anything I can do to help let me know. I really think we need to use that medium to further our community. BTW, I'm not some young Internet dweeb either (I'm 47) that needs the latest and greatest techno gadget on the web. I grew up with the old BBS environment. Don't ever wanna go back either. Lee Hi folks, I posted this once, but probably to the wrong topic. As Chris has stated, there is already a forum for the Formula 500 community set up and running at www.eformulacarnews.com. I pay a full-time moderator and we support F500 more than any other motorsports media source in the world. If we need to adjust our F500 forum to include different headings and sub-sections etc, that's fine with me. I can also give anyone you see fit moderator status for the F500 forum alone. That stated, anything I read of starting a separate forum really upsets me. If you guys head off and start your own forum, you can kiss any of my support good-bye. I bust my ass running a business to support formula car racing, I attend events, and I pay money out of my own pocket to pay my staff to publicize this sport. The existing forums out there (Spec Miata / Apexspeed) are done by enthusiasts and they serve a purpose, and that's great, but we are the ones who cover the events, spend time on the road away from out families covering racing and work our asses off to produce a publication. Our website relies on traffic (ie. views) to sell advertising and we need forum traffic to supply our advertisers with the value they are looking for. We need the support of the F500 community. To be honest, FormulaCar Magazine and eformulacarnews.com have made very little money yet....it's going to have to change soon.
