Not sure, not properly looked in to it.
PNG is run as a forum now isn't it? ie. not the same format as mid 2000.

Its basically Novaload.net rebranded to PNG, with a proper club like it used to it aswel, membership pack's etc and is part of the VBOA if i remember right.
I think you should look at buying an Astra forum, im looking at an astra as my next car

Doesn't mean they won't sell, MIG went.
Danger is if they go to the same guy who spends so much money on the sites he's got none left for hamburgers.

Astra stuff is too big, AOC would need more than I have and AON definitely won't go, that guy already wrings it dry.

i not entirely sure if just Kev owns it though..
i know he created novaload, which is based on. But Lee got PVG to give up the PNG name, for use
so it might be a joint thing between Kev and Lee
i can drop to links to both their facebook profiles if you want?

Since you're on a buying spree, buy one of the Honda/Civic forums Ian?  I renewed my Premium today, seems fair.

Are you just buying any that crop up for sale? Or are you the Theo Paphitis of the forum world?

Thing that attracted me to Puma People was that they've got loads of meets done in the past and the Wiki and gallery are full of stuff.
The latter both need organising and the former need stoking up again, both of which shouldn't be too hard.

What about thread labels like they do on some of the zsoc forums?
I.E you keep the site layout but when you post you have to select from a drop down a thread label ( corsa B/C/D/non corsa) and then your title?

also splitting corsa and gerneral car chat is ponteillay a good idea, dont dilute it by spllitting down to B,C,D
when a show comes round they all display together, so why not keep the corsa element of the website as one to

make a corsa specific forum, highlighting that its for B, C and D as apose to watering down the busy activity of the corsa element of the forum by giving them specific and arguably quiter rooms
all IMO apart

Question really is - is there enough GENERAL chat for separate zones? It would be cool to have separate chat zones for b,c,d (maybe even A?) but will there be traffic?
The above could fix the focus on corsas in general on the site, or at least put it in the right sections - if you look on other sites they normally have help zones separated in brakes, suspension, engine, electrical etc which I've found helpful in the past when looking at other forums (Caddy2k for example) - however in saying that caddy2k is a focused website on a certain era of the VW Caddy (i.e. not the old shit iirc)
I'm not entirely convinced what the correct direction is.
edit 2 - on second thoughts it might even be worth having a tutorial section under each specific corsa forum, or under the tutorial forum have subforums for B,C, and D?

We can pull together B, C and D if the user prefers.
In fact, it could be completely transparent once you config it, only difference would be making a post for which there could be a model dropdown.
