Al I don't feel Z Factor was attacking you personally. It's ok if you don't find the Forum to your likeing. That is why we have options, the forum and the listserver.

His point was we are trying to attract members. It's the chicken and the egg thing. If there are not enough members posting then people don't return and the Forum never gets off the ground.

The contest was/is an attempt to try and attract members. I agree members should not post garbage just for the sake of winning the contest or getting their titles upgraded. The titles are like a badge of honor awarded to those who visit often and offer to help those that have questions.

We are open to any suggestions anyone might have to help make this forum more enjoyable to visit and use.

Thanks!

I'm all for the Forum..even if I don't post alot I still come here to read what others have to say.

That is correct, and very evident in my public posts in this thread. I have also been in touch with Al via PM to express the same. Hopefully by now he does realize that.
At times, messages and words in this type of medium come across much differently than they would in real life. The internet allows us to communicate with people in ways we never imagined just a short time ago. However, the trade off is that it can be impersonal without the ability to hear the tone or inflection of another persons voice, or see the facial expression of the person. We must therefore be on guard not to allow a perceived slight to be taken personally, and understand that this medium can lead to misunderstandings despite all it's merits.

Al,

Just to address who Jim is. Yes Jim is a member of the ZR-1 Net. Jim has also been nice enough a couple of years ago to step up and offerto help me run the Forum so he is not new at this.

I have no problem with Jim not wanting to give out any personal information because unfortunately we have some sick people out there in the world and he has a right to privacy.

As far as the business around titles and stars, all forums have something similar.

People need to loosen up a little, forums, and corvettes and such are suppose to be fun. If we take it too seriously then it's not fun anymore. That is why we have things like smilies to add to our text messages to have fun.

Let's have a :cheers: and have some fun.

Thanks,

My vote is to maintain both.

I AGREE...Everything I read on or from the ZR-1 net registry folks has always been either helpful or entertaining...few, if any, exceptions.

My vote is to keep both. The list is a wealth of information and is great reading. The forum is an easy way to communicate.

I like the forum, if you can only choose one. :dancing
Keep both if you can do it.

Re: Should we keep the ZR-1 Net or Forum?
 

We are keeping both. :-D

Re: Should we keep the ZR-1 Net or Forum?
 

I like both, and use both. If I were forced to choose, I'd probably keep the Net. :handshak:
