Gonna be some changes around here in the next few weeks to a month. Tomorrow I'm planning to go and open a business account at a bank (already set MallCrawlin up as an LLC) and once I get the debit card for that account I will be purchasing VBulletin and then enslaving Matt to get it all set up. We're also going to redo the front end of the site, so we'll be looking for all sorts of good content for that. Whether it be tech, trip reports, or Ron's drunken rants. In fact I like that idea, kinda like the Dr. Vern article in 4WD and SU, maybe once a month someone can write up a rant and we'll post it on the main site.
Anyways, should be some changes here soon that will allow the forum to grow even more and provide a LOT better software for us all to use. There's way more functionality on Matt and I's end, and you guys will get some cool new features too.
There will be some premium membership options available as well. Matt and I still have to figure out the costs on those, but everybody will still be able to do everything they've been able to do so far for free, but you'll get a few more things with the premium membership and you can help offset the costs that Matt and I have incurred over the last year or so.
So I'm hoping to at least have VBulletin in place within 2-3 weeks, and get some work going on revamping the front site, cuz frankly my ghetto ass FrontPage skills bring teh suck.
If anybody wants to help contribute content for the front end let me know.
