MK5 Project Section

[08micsta]

Hello

Was just thinking. Can we get a project section up and running and maybe have it a bit like the other forum where you PM Steve and he creates a thread that is stickied and locked to others except the owner of the car?

Joe, Hurdy, Red, Greenouse- Just a few names that might be interested in creating a thread.

What do you guys think about this one?

go for it 

need to update mine with s3 pics 

[RedRobin]

....

I'd be up for it - It can be quite a good resource for others thinking of modding etc.

Anything to help people spend their hard earned money and slide down the slippery slope!!

What about mkaing project threads a sticky in the members rides section rather than starting another section, That way you can recieve comments or answer questions as well and delete as you choose. just a thought guys what do you reckon. 

[Greeners]

I'd certainly be interested in putting something together!

TC I had a similar conversation with Topher at one stage about what you just said...

A seperate section is probably a better idea because the project threads will become very long ended if they are not locked considering that say someone does a mod or an update and twenty people make comments.. Thats two extra pages etc that someone has to sift through which is not really related to the actual project..
.
My idea was a New project section. And then say Redrobin makes a project thread...

1. It is stickied so it is always there.
2. It is locked and only he can post in his thread. No one else.
3. The rest of the section under the stickies/project threads is for random comments. Questions and for the authors of the project threads to announce updates etc.

So if i want to know why Redrobin refuses to purchase a KO4 turbo and have 300 neddies I can post it in the section and he can answer without his actual project thread being disturbed aiding those viewing his project and making it more pleasureable.

mike, just so you know, the project section in golfgtiforum isnt locked, you can post in other peoples threds, nobody does it thow as its in the rules 

[08micsta]

Just so you know Joe.

You can post in other peoples posts because you yourself have a project thread in there which gives you access to the other threads. A normal user cannot post on the Project threads on Golfgtiforum.co.uk. Thats what i ahd an issue about until Toph explained to my why they had it set up that way. And what he said I have repeated above.

And anyway. That bunch obey the rules? You kidding me right?

^^^^

I agree with Mike - For each project, a stickie for the car owner's access only and the rest below as open discussion.

It just needs our webmeister to create the 'section' if we PM him.



OR....

Would it work just as a normal thread and the project 'owner' just adds to his/her original post as and when?

What about a child board in the members ride section?

If we leave it open so you can start your own thread then you can lock/unlock it yourself to add your updates?

Or as Robin suggests it's requires you to request a new thread?

Thoughts and comments please. 

[08micsta]

I think that you should request your own thread.

1. It stops posters who come, post a thread then disappear from simply just posting a thread that wont be finished.

other than that I think the unlock/lock you own thread thing works and if someone accidently posts in your thread whilst it is unlocked thn PM a mod and he can silently move it 

[joesgti]

il put my car in again, il just copy n paste everything 

[SteveP]

Ok everyone, there is a new child board available for project threads - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=25.0

If you would like to share your stories then please let me know and I will start up a thread for you.

Thanks,

SteveP
