Man- I just saw this thread. Some quick thoughts.
Lately the website is really sucking. I don't see the CB logo thing on new posts and now overlook them inadvertently. The picture posting problem is really annoying too. IMHO the website needs to be fixed asap or it will dissolve even more.
The remainder of my thoughts mirror many on already expressed. I don't want the info from the site to go away but I think the site will probably need to merge with another one. It seems like forums of all types are experiencing less traffic, as Nick pointed out. I haven't seen a single EB on the road this entire summer. This site lends itself to a very limited following.
One other thought I have is with the prices of these rigs going through the roof, very few people will be wheeling them. I know that wheeling is the focus of the club members but we will not be adding many new members, if any. To boost participation, the focus must change to more of a meet and greet type deal. I enjoy both types of venues, which is why I pushed for the M&G and then a trip to URE so we could do both.
I don't care if the focus of the club changes or not. I like (most) of you all on here
and would like to have club functions even if the club goes away.
Oh, and this year Dwight has been a great help on the URE trail work days. We have been doing more than many of the other clubs that have adopted trails. Sad, yes, but speaks well of what we've gotten done. I'd like to continue to give back and do a trail sponsorship and welcome any and all help!
Edit- Lastly, my opinion on the best way to increase club exposure would be the spring show/swap meet at Lowe's. Also, I'd like to see a healthy number of us at the 50'th deal super cel and have the banner up and all. It might not add members but it would be a way to be visible in the bronco community for sure.
