It's been a few months since I've had a chance to do anything to the main page of the site, and now that wheeling season is pretty much over :smt088 I can devote a little more time to upkeep of the site.

What do you guys wanna see?

One thought I've had is a Rig of the Month type contest where we highlight a rig from the Journals section. I'd like to get some more product reviews rolling or some tech articles, but those take a bit of time and money that I may not be able to invest at this point.

I think that a rig of the month would be pretty cool to see, or even a picture from the calender.

Or even, good pics that didn't make the calendar.

You should spotlight a different newb every month. Get them to offer their opinion on something they have no experience with in 1000 words or more. Disqualify them if they use proper grammar or punctuation. Require them to include flex shots of that gnarly driver's side all terrain on grandma's flower planter. These guys are mallcrawlin's greatest untapped resource.

Frankly, "you guys" already do that for us.

I'm going to have to agree with Derek - boobs.

I'm with you on that, my GF lives 2 1/2 hours away...

I like the rig the month idea, our local club does it on their forum.

Featured ride sounds good send in your submission of photos, bewbs would be like extra credit, extra credit when your failing the class, mandatory.

I know it's a long shot but I have a jeep, 20 dollars, a camera, I'm gonna see if I can make it happen. I'll be the first If I can, or maybe we could have raffles for members which I will be on the next check. (kevins stuff!, Free oil and filters!)

Hos in different area codes. Everyone knows that.

Reader submitted reviews or how tos maybe? The dictatorship...I mean club I was part of did something like that and it worked pretty good.

Might not be a bad idea to make it a bit more obvious than it is that this is:

1: A site for GCs
2: A site for advanced to hardcore GCs
3: A site where you get your balls cut off and handed to you when you ask how to install a BB :D

Edit: And bewbies :rofl:

If you log out and then view the main page you should see something along those lines. Without bewbs though . . .

The only time a picture of a Jeep on pavement has been on the front page is the shot of Kraqa's ZJ crushing a shopping cart, and someone will have to top that before it happens again!

I think you should have Pics that didn't make the calander but were still good... Also maybe do something where people submit their craziest carnage and or "woops" pics and you post the craziest/funniest/most educational ones on the main page (i.e This is what happens when you run 35s on a 35... That would be crazy, funny AND educational :rofl )

Gotcha - never even saw that...then again, I'm always logged in :D

I changed up the newbie intro a bit, adding the picture of Kris crushing the shopping the cart too. Maybe it'll get the point across a bit better.

I'll dig through some pics that I've got and see if I can come up with a good pic to put up there for everyone else to see too until I can get a Rig Of the Month or something else going.

Another could be flop roll/ wreck of the month...
Here is one of my old Heeps when a drunk "undocumented" mexican hit me head on @ 40 mpg

Someone with more time and Photoshop skills could always change this sign to more accurately reflect MallCrawlin . . .

http://www.mallcrawlin.com/wheelinpics/holycross91804/holycross91804%20013.jpg

Something like "The forum goes from difficult to EXTREME. Search Forum Before Posting. Rollovers and body/mechanical damage VERY LIKELY."

my photochop skills bring teh suck! where on the sign did you want the searching part? how about "scout the forum" =)

Is it weird that I live 1500 miles away, and know that the sign is from Holy Cross? (I think.)

BigDaveZJ
10-21-2007, 10:31 AM
Any idiot that knows how to right click and select properties can find out it's from Holy Cross!!

10-21-2007, 10:45 AM
But I seriously didn't, LOL, I think that was right after the water crossing with the great view of the waterfall :finga:

Sounds about right, you've been up there more recently than I have! Fawk, I can't believe I haven't been up there in over 3 years . . . must change that when snow melts.

I'll have to make my first trip up there next year - I'll be locked in the rear by the time the snow melts.

DJ, that looks great
