The Future and the MK6 Golf GTI Site.....

(1/4) > >>

TurboTrev:
The MK5 GTI site is IMHO the best Forum out there for MK5 GTIs - well done to the Team that own/runs it. :congrats:

Unfortunately, the MK5 GTI Forum sister site the "MK6 GTI Forum" is basically dead on its feet, despite a number of MK5 GTI members switching to MK6s, including me.

I realise both forums have their own url, but given that so many of the section areas are common to both, could they not somehow be amalgamated (dare I say it, similar to the other golf gti forum)?  A MK7 GTI Section could also be added, then a MK8 etc.. 

I really think a bit of a redesign is urgently needed to bring all the marks together into one site, to ensure that the Forum is future proofed and thereby prospers, especially given that the MK7 is also now virtually upon us. 

Does anyone agree?

Top Cat:
It would be nice Trev, but we know through experience it creates a, them and us atmosphere. Some of the guys with the older mark, will post on the new marks threads saying it is just a 5.5 or 6.5 or a 7.5. And the guys with the new cars will say your just jealous and it will deteriorate from there.  :rolleye:

It would be nice but in the end just painful.  :happy2:

What news is there about what's happening to this site's future, please?

Over 6,000 members now and the site bogs down more and more often. Didn't one or two qualified folks (for example alexperkins) volunteer to sort out the site's server problems etc?

I dont know what the future hold for the forum but I have to say owning a Mk5 would be a less joyous affair without this site , its great! Im on the other GTI forums but they are not the same and I never post on them.

I think it's important for everyone to understand that this site isn't about to close down - It just needs a change of IT Admin as SteveP has far less time now. Oh, and the servers need sorting out better to accommodate the traffic. [Perhaps if I stopped posting, the site wouldn't keep bogging down  :laugh:]

Of course, it's not me who decides the future of this site but it is my understanding that the Admin Team have no plans to shut it down.

It's SteveP who has opened this subject and appears to be inviting his replacement on that side of running the site.
