You don't know me, but be scared

[carman]

Hey everyone!
I am da carman.
I have been a pretty active member on AF some long time ago, then I haven't been on here for several months. Now I am back better and sweeter.
Here's my problem.
Today, I visited AF for the first time for past several months. When I clicked on view new posts, A WHOLE bunch of them were from this G20 forum....thats all cool... but you guys really need to start spreading your evil roots outside this "room" - try the kitchen and second floor, there's a lot of fun waiting
Take Primera Man and i_rebel for example, I tried to read as many posts as possible today, have to read like 25,000 more
I see they're active both here as well as the kitchen and the 2nd floor.
So, comon you all!
Aren't you guys interested in other cars as well? I sure am! I like all cars. Also, have you heard that AF is featured in septmeber issue of SCC?? Isn't that awesome?!?! So comon, lets make AF the biggest, most popular, most interesting, and the most fun auto forum on the web! If you all would post outside G20 forums, I bet we can make this site even sweeter.
So, here are some threads I thought you all might be interested in reading:

carman, welcome back. I am one of the new people here, in fact I have not seen a post from you here ever, so I'm that new.

Most of us are here for the mayor interest of OUR car. At least that is my case. I have found a lot of information here regarding the G20/Primera, that otherwise, I don't think would be easy to find.
I think primera man, b00gie and others "active posters" here, are one of the main source of information for most of us.
And yes, we only post in G20, because we use this to share/find info about our little machines.:silly2:
I like to read about other cars, but, not allways have time to read every other forum on AF, and I think that's the same for others.

[carman]

RCer, first you say that you are not scared of me, and then you say you don't have time to read other forums :cry:
[could it get any worse? :cry::cry:]

How about just some interesting threads maybe?

So, if any of you do have extra minutes, help AF grow even further, and do check out some of the threads outside G20. :coolguy:

Anyone that does that will be considered "cool" by me. And my list of 'cool' people will be in my sig So, please apply!

[carman]

Here's my list -

[b-b00gie]

who me?

Thanks! I'm blushing, lol...


I try and visit the other forums sometimes, maybe once a week...

the G20 forum just keeps me so busy lol.. we have a lot of posts everyday and I have a lot of input and some questions myself.

[wickedG20]

You won't find a topic about new g20 body kits in a mustang forum

[b-b00gie]

I think the point was... they want people to come together and appreciate cars in general and be able to talk about any car, not just G20's...

[igor@af]

Thanks to carman for starting this topic

[Welcome back Carman! Where have you been all this time?!]

He, and I am sure many people including myself, would be happy to see you G20 enthusiasts posting in other places as well from time to time. We can all contribute to the message board and teach/learn many things here.
This is just a thing you could do if you want to, no one's being forced or anything, so no worries

I am very happy to see the G20 forums becoming such a success in themselves, imagine how it would have been if Jason and I never chose to do this

[RCer]

Yeah b00gie, but my point (and others too) is, If I am not interested on Lamborghinis, what the %$&&( am I going to do on the forum????

Not being on that list is suppose to get me scared??? uuhh, I'm shaking!!!!
At least my fingers are.

[G-Forces]

So Igor, did you ever think the G20 forums would ever be this popular? I sure didn't. I float around on the other car forums but generally don't have much to say.

[RCer]

Exactly Jason!
What other forum I visit??? The subaru Impreza forum.
That's my other car. And there is not much to say there.

How can you get people to "come" to the forums?? Do exactly as you have done with G20.net

People search on the web for sites on info about cars, contact them, and try to get them to include a link to the AF site. That will increase the people here.

That's my .02

[igor@af]

Jason - I really had no idea how successful this would be.... looks like it is DAMN successful! Congrats to you all

RCer - Yep, that's what we have been and are doing

[primera man]

This is a cool place to be.!!!!

I think anyone who loves cars should have a open mind and like all cars and not just the one they have at the moment.

I think everyone has there own tastes of whats hot and whats not...thats what makes us all different.

One of the main reasons i got out of the drag racing scene was the hate between Ford and Chev owners. It was that bad people would have fights after a few beers .....this is the type of shit that i cant handle.....you encourge anyone and try and give them the best advice you can with out really knocking there ride....unless THEY WANT to know and can handle it.

I like to post around and check all the other sights and pick up bits of info as you never know when it may come in hand.
People may call me a post whore ...but i just love cars
And you get to meet some nutters on the way,.....eh DVSNCYNIKL !!!!

It would be good to see a few others post around

To igor and Jason...well done....i came here when it was just kind off kicking off and i have watched it grow in to something huge and will continue to do so...WELL DONE AND THANKS

Neil, what did you mean by that?

Jason/Igor, whose idea was it to "join the powers"? Just curious how it started.

This is how it started for me (if anyone cares...): one day I was browsing G20.net to see if there were any updates (), and what do you know, the only one was the link to this forum. It was so small and ... "cosy" So I decided to stick around...
