Some of those 105 are "US".....

I am a "lifetime" member there, but would like to see this site flourish...

If you care, visit our old site LESS often....

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

It might take some time, but with the way this site is going so far we'll be alright.

[beepbeep]

I have popped back over a couple times since signing up here, but not much.

[Atrosity]

I don't go to the "other" site as much....usually to read up on the dumb drama and that is it really...

[Steve '92ES]

Sheesh, I make 1 little post over there and Bob catches me....
Hey, Wait a minute! What were YOU doing over there anyway?!?! :) :)

C'mon, Bob. Lot of big football games today/tonight. :D

[Flash Gordon]

Its only been 1 week. Give it time and it will flourish. The cream always rises to the top

[CoreyB]

I have been reading the drama threads over there, its entertaining. And I have been helping some peeps that I dont think are here.

[Flash Gordon]

Drama threads???? Ah hell, I guess I better go check it out = )

BRB ; )

[Hemi417]

yeah their closing the
"we should all say goodbye to 3s thread"

[MR2]

it makes sense :)

anyway give it time for us to get the content and so forth over here, guys re-create your threads..get more unique content over there, that will really help people spend more time here.

[Atrosity]

That is what she said. :)

[kjzstealth]

I have a tab open from there, but I have 4 open here, so I guess I am part of both. There is still a lot of good info there and seems some people have not made it here yet

[TurboSinceBirth]

I respond less and less over there and more on here because a lot of the new threads or ones brought over are here. It's easier to comment here and more people that need the help will be here. I keep going back to the other site to search old threads and whatnot occasionally looking at new posts. Until most of the information is transferred over to here I won't be able to drop the other forum. I wish there was a way you could download the whole forum database and integrate it into here.

[Atrosity]

Need the vendors to help promote the site. Pretty much vendors need to replace 3si with 3sgto where ever they advertise it.

[BigTyla]

Vendors make the difference. Autoforums knows this and is gambling on that fact.

It's going to take some time, but we will get the info over here. But we will also need to come up with some new substance to really draw the crowd over.

[Mikes2nd]

autoforums likes to lie about their online members... they even say things like maximum 1600 users ever online?

It make their stats look good to advertisers and people looking for info.

you can go to forums where they have no posts and no members and somehow they have 150 guests looking at nothing on their crappy forums... its obviously "fudged"

[Alan92RTTT]

The guests are not "fudged" but on average 1/2 of them are search engines

I made my final post the other over there the other day. I have logged out and wont be logging back in over there unless there are MAJOR changes. This is my new home.

Even so, there are substantial reasons for people to continue to visit 3si just to view threads, most noticeably with cars wanted/cars for sale.

It's going to take some time to curb the visits to 3si. We can't expect everyone to drop their visits on a dime, particularly if they still have ongoing business over there (partouts and the like).

[stealthee]

I had a large part out over there. That thread is now closed.

[TwoXist]

I think stealthee is dedicated to the cause. I haven't returned to the "other site" for a few days now. And that was to try and figure out how to cancel my membership.

[Alan92RTTT]

Content is the key thing.

While it would be a copyright violation to go to another forum and copy posts that you did not make, there are other ways to get content here.

Know of a good thread someplace that works through a problem? Most useful threads wander all over to get to the result and it take time to ferret out the good information. Rather than trying to copy the posts write up the results in a concise easy to read manner.

[ictponder]

I haven't been there in over a week since my account was banned. This place feels like home already.

I guess the 3swiki technically belongs to AF?

I could always take some of my posts and bring them over here. Not that many people care about ATX TT conversions. :p

The 3swiki just like the forum belongs to the author.

Speaking of which, you have free reign to make your ground kits. Where they at?

[MK_94_3000GT]

A lot of us (myself included) have lose ends to tie up there like sales. I also cant sell here but I can there. So there are still things keeping me there.

[stealthee]

As soon as I stop being lazy I am going to get verified and open my for sale thread here.

[Steve '92ES]

Your going to "stop being lazy"? That would imply that you're putting some effort into this laziness.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that goes about his lazy seriously.. :) :)

[Kilo_SME]

You guys should bring your TT conversion threads over here. Im in the middle of one right and I go back there for info. If you brung those over here im set!

[green-lantern]

I don't make any tech posts there. I only make personal and that isn't much. One or two since this place went public.

[BigTyla]

Speaking of which, you have free reign to make your ground kits. Where they at?

Do I? I'll have to check with Alan on that.

I've been very busy lately as I just got a job a couple of months ago and moved into my first house two weeks ago. I'll have to tie up some loose ends around here before I ever go back to the full-fledged group buys I used to do.

Already thinking of getting back into the 3S game though. Scary...:D

[Maximal]

I sorta figured this place would die off a bit after the initial launch. My guess is it'll level off for a while and slowly grow as long as the content is quality.

[oneslow3000gt]

It might also help if the site could ever get mentioned when you search for 3000gt forums. all that comes up is 3si and us3s.

[Amphiron]

We need more of a information database here. The members also need to be a little more helpful. Remember, 80% of the people there and here are looking for information, not to chit chat.

[Atrosity]

Yeah, instead of googling your problems...ASK THEM. REPLY TO THEM. Don't just say search it no matter how dumb it is, the database needs to have answers for all the questions.

[Lori]

I couldn't agree with this more... If you have the time to wait for an answer, don't go looking elsewhere for it.. Post it up and wait for someone to answer. It's the only way we'll get all the information over here. And we need to do it. We need to create the community we want - not the one that's shoved down our throats only so we can choke on it.

You would have to sponsor but what you'd pay is small. click here for details. http://www.3sgto.org/showthread.php?351-Sponsorship-Information

Hell, if you have a question post it, search for the answer and if you find it before someone answers post the answer yourself.

Why don't we have smiles yet?

That's perfectly reasonable. A lot less expensive than I thought it would have been.

Whats your site again big tyla? Your grounding kit is on my to buy list. :)

[Sin'sVr4]

Thats actually pretty awesome Alan. Once I decide to get my part out going again I think I am going to get myself verified and "sponsor" I wouldn't consider $30 a sponsorship and I make no new parts, but I would do it just to help.

While I believe that you have to pay to play. As a community we need the small guys making parts and things. IMO I have to make sure my prices are reasonable to keep us going for the next 10 years.

Aw... Only 10? Come on man, we can do better than that... http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/wink.gif

[Jimvr4]

I already signed up to be an "Independent" sponsor here. I had been trying for over a month on the other site to post a Group Buy and Sharkbait kept telling me it should work but he couldn't get it going. AF probably prevented it.

I think what Alan is doing here to enable the small guys makes a lot of sense :D

[x2percentmilk]

anyone look at the more important numbers?
most active user today had 2 posts.

just 2.

[Lori]

Give it a couple of days and AF will offer the same type of thing, just like with everything else Alan has done with this site... First the garage, then the ads, then changing the verification process, what next? An arcade? Independent sponsorships? That's why we have this thread - we have to step it up! The difference is that their changes won't last.. Eventually, they'll go back to their old ways.

Here's how I see this... Person A has a question. He/she searches and finds the answer on another site. Rather than posting it here, they're happy to have the answer. Person B has the same question, does the same thing, probably finds it on the same site... That site has now had several hits that we could've had here if we'd bother to post the question and the answer. So get busy, guys! Make this thing work! No snowball effects... Be proactive!

Given the time of your post, 2 posts since midnight is not bad;)

oops :2:

[BigTyla]

Whats your site again big tyla? Your grounding kit is on my to buy list. :)

It used to be a dedicated page on 3saudiofaq.com but that site is down. Currently I do not have a site but I might buy my own domain name eventually.

[mikeyVR4]

I got back and forth...so your point being?

I dont get paid for anything. And I don't feel like asking the same questions when I can research it over there.

[Mikes2nd]

i added the site to Bing but you can add the xml sitemap...

http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmasters/

also check out google... Bing is free to register to crawl, google wants cash to be a top hit...

All of you need to go to google... search on "3000gt forums 3sgto.org" then click on 3sgto.org... stealth... mitsubishi...

daily would help

[Alan92RTTT]

setup the site mam on bing. I had already done google.
Going to go do yahoo.
Any other engines I should hit?

Well actually, I already have something laid out right now, I just haven't followed through with buying the domain name since I've been so busy with my move over the past couple of months. So once I have everything straight around here all I have to do is buy the domain. Thanks though!

You need to change those headers... to something like "3000gt / Stealth / GTO the front page" to like 3000gt / Stealth / GTO Forums"...

Thats the main page.

DEFINATELY change the threads! You need to put 3sgto.org or something in the headline of the browser. Right now you are only showing the thread title... thats bad.

Bing hasn't hit the page yet, but you can keep an eye on it.

http://hubpages.com/hub/Optimizing-your-website-for-Bing

http://www.bingle.nu/results.php?type=www&query=3sgto.org

We need to hit the Searches... "Mitsubishi 3000gt forums"... things like that...

On that front page I see no "Mitsubishi 3000gt or Dodge Stealth" also... Or Mitsubishi GTO...

Rewrite that front page when you get time. The better description on the main page, i think the better chance to get in the searches.

Hmmm did I? Perhaps Gordon and the food network spelled it wrong. I'm the real gordon ramsey. I thought ramsay was too much "zay" on the end. "Sey" is much easier to say.
