Your Site

marcus · 27 Sep 2001, 02:09 (Ref:151927)

Hi Folks,
I am now the new moderator of this neck of the woods and have an exciting new plan for both this forum and our members which will kick in to action in the next week or two.
So if you have a motorsport website make sure you add it to your profile and hopefully I will be in touch with you through the PM system soon to explain what Im up to.
Please make sure the spelling is correct so i can check your site out and enjoy the cool sites forum

Depends what's on offer........

Ralf's Girl · 27 Sep 2001, 20:35 (Ref:152298)

My site's in my profile...not "motorsport" as such, but "racing driver".

And it's a good idea - I'll vouch for that.

marcus · 28 Sep 2001, 02:29 (Ref:152438)

Ok I will let people in on what I am planning to do.

at random I will choose a members site and they will have pride of place in this very forum for a week as a hot topic.
so every time a someone visits the cool sites forum the members site will be at the top for the whole week..thus promoting that site for the world to see for a week.
I will encourage people to visit the hot site and make comments on what is there if they wish.
Only motorsport sites will be considered as this is essentially a motorsport site.

Please feel free to still post your cool sites in this forum as there is quite a few members sites to get through and it may be a while before i can get to yours.

I will however in the week prior to using your site get in touch with you through the PM system to see if you would like your site used (some people may not want their site to be used which is fine)

so hopefully people will enjoy this little brainstorm i have had and I think it will work reasonably well and im sure the week your site is on top of the pile you will be very happy

That's a good idea marcus, hopefully it will promote more visitors to the cool sites forum.

Nick Sanderson · 28 Sep 2001, 07:01 (Ref:152480)

Just an idea, but instead of the usual "check this site out" aqpproach, it would be good if you could add a few lines describing what the weeks 'hot site' is all about.

Cheers,
Nick.

**Craig** · 28 Sep 2001, 14:16 (Ref:152690)

Good ideas...

How about you resurrect the old 'site of the week' thing and feature it in the newsletter too ?

Emfa · 28 Sep 2001, 16:58 (Ref:152765)

I think that's a really neat idea marcus.

If the "Featured Site" is promoted in the Cool Sites forum, the newsletter (and maybe even the 10/10 Links site) we are talking about some serious exposure.

Crash and Burn · 28 Sep 2001, 17:47 (Ref:152797)

Yeah count my site in. No need to contact me - just as long people don't rip it to bits. Feel free to use my site without asking.
Just note that all copyright isn't mine.

Minardi fan · 28 Sep 2001, 17:57 (Ref:152807)

Excellent idea Marcus.

**touringlegend** · 28 Sep 2001, 18:56 (Ref:152834)

neat idea marcus - can I give you a little present if mine is the first?

Alan · 28 Sep 2001, 19:12 (Ref:152844)

Great idea! I'm up for it.

Carrie · 28 Sep 2001, 19:54 (Ref:152875)

Sounds like a good idea to me

Bribery will be greatly appreciated

seriously I am still working through the fine details and checking sites out..there are some mighty fine ones out there thats for sure.

**touringlegend** · 30 Sep 2001, 09:20 (Ref:153578)

Great Marcus! PM me and tell me what you want...

Gerard · 30 Sep 2001, 20:43 (Ref:153870)

Great idea Marcus!

And I would be happy to mention the 'Site of the Week' in the Discussion Forum Newsletter.

f1grandprixshop · 1 Oct 2001, 06:59 (Ref:154118)

We will be behind you all the way Marcus! Just tell us when

**Aysedasi** · 4 Oct 2001, 20:59 (Ref:155983)

Count me in too!

wickedwitch · 6 Oct 2001, 14:29 (Ref:156736)

Excellent plan marcus! Count me in - the site address is in my profile

marcus · 7 Oct 2001, 00:42 (Ref:156913)

Just an update for everyone..i am progressing with this slowly ..I am currently still going through all the websites.

but it is coming i promise

Lorna · 11 Oct 2001, 12:22 (Ref:159039)

Excellent idea, Marcus - and I like Craig's idea of including it in the newsletter as well

IF you decide to use mine at any point, can I ask that it coincides with my relaunch? In other words, I'll contact you? Cheeky question I know, but once I have collated loads of motorsport dates, the calendar will be revamped and ready for publication in the first few months of next year.

Ta!

marcus · 11 Oct 2001, 14:20 (Ref:159094)

Yep Lorna that is not a problem..indeed this is why I am planning to contact people before using their site .

in case
1. They dont want it used at all
2. It may need updating or adjustments made.

whatever the case maybe so i dont have a problem with that.

f1grandprixshop · 19 Oct 2001, 07:07 (Ref:162759)

Very promising!

so, when are we going to start?
