Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Dude, you forgot about the self-destruct button, aka cruise control!

We have registered a few other domains that we'll use in tandom with dsmstyle and mitsustyle, like 3sstyle.com and I'm working on evostyle or evolutionstyle. All this really means is that we're growing and expanding the site to suit its members. It's stupid to have to go elsewhere for info on some other vehicles besides dsms; there are plenty of people here that can help.

On the topic of new members w/o a clue: we were all there at some point. I remember accusing a buddy in high-school of being an idiot when he was talking about hacking up his air filter box. We have more and more people signing up for the site every week, and I want them to become part of the community, not get shunned out of it. If you have a problem with this, then bring it to me or one of the moderators. I want to promote a positive attitude around here, because flame wars do nothing but leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth and accomplish NOTHING.

On the flip side of that, if a newbie or a senior member decides to be a punk or arrigant ass for too long, then get ready to say goodbye to us, and remember the Internet is not as anonymous as you might think. So please, turn your flamidation valves off and put your high-horsepower hats on!

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

I think what you meant to say was poor reliability hats. :D

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Couldnt you just add a subforum for each of those? Do you think there would be enough traffic to warrant a full section for each of those other car models?

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

DSMstyle shouldnt just mean 1st and 2nd gens. Diamond Starhttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...icon_image.jpg Motors.

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

You mean like mitsubishiforums.com or whatever it is? .Net maybe? Their shit is way confusing.

So here is my question, with all the expansion, are yall thinking of taking this full past MN or are we going to stay more MN based like we have been?

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

You've been there for what, like 2 weeks? You can't say ya'll yet. You haven't earned it.

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

We won't go national if that is what you mean. There is sites for that already. But we get people from all over the US. I think it's safe to say we will always call MN home and keep open arms for IA, WI, ND, ect ect. That bad thing is, we can't stop those weird fuckers from FL and CA from calling us home as well though. ;)

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

I've been here for a month and a half already, and I've already lived here before. So get the facts straight and we'll talk.

ANYWAYS- I'm glad we are keeping it like that. I get wierded out by HUGE forums like that.

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

I don't think the name change will be that bad! But it will definatly take some getting used to. But it will definatly open new doors.

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

So you just want more info on Eagle Summits, Dodge Avengers and Chrysler Sebrings? :D 3S's, Galant VR4's, and Evos weren't made at the Diamond Star Motors facility so MitsuStyle is a little more accurrate.

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

How about YouDriveWhatWithStyle.com :p

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

How about "MyBish.com"

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

How about www.StyleProject.com ? Would that work?

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

3inHard.com

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Anycarstyle.com

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Not that I am against having other mitsubishi owners come on here however isn't there a Minnesota 3s club and a evo club out there already?

This is the DSM club of Minnesota, this website was for the 4g63 motors mostly (include the Galant VR-4). I would find it kind of weird that minnesota would have a club for just the 3s and EVOs and then the DSM (the biggest group of them all, I think) wouldn't have a club just for DSMs.

However if the EVO and 3s club don't accually exist
MITSUBISHI OWNERS UNITE!!!

www.mybish.com
^funny! thats what I call my car when it isn't running!

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Well, the evo still has a 4g63 so you point is not valid. Yes there is already a 3S and EVO site. Style is fancier than either though, but the 3S guys are pretty loyal so I don't know if many would come over.

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

You'd be surprised how many mn3s members post/lurk on here.

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

agreed I lurk here all the time. I'm excited to see the new change and maybe even catch myself posting a few more times.

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

HEY!! you know what I mean:p
I know the evos have a 4g63 but the timing belt is on the other side and none of the parts can be interchanged... well most anyway (this could get into a long debate)

I have to say, this is a nice website with very friendly people. I would love it if mitsubishi people would come together. The mitsubishi cook out was fun to go to and would be great if there was more stuff like that.

What I would love to see is a meet where a lot of mitsubishi people get together and have a parts swap meet. I know a lot of us have car parts, cars, and part cars that they would want to sell. And there are some of us who really need car parts, like me!!

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Yeah, and at dyno days we could watch all Mitsu's on the dyno instead of being forced to watch some pesky German car :D

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Parts can't be interchanged?
Do some research before making retarted posts.

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

I see Andrew's point. DSMStyle was/is home to many DSMers, but the fact is we have never been just a DSM club. It was a main focal point, and it was a big part of growing. MN EVO and MN 3S are to active groups that are ran by a few senior members on here (Curt & Chris D), and that last thing I want this transition to do is make it seem like we want to pull members from there over here. We just want to make a positive transition into a big growing period for us, and give everything we can to our members and sponsors.

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

This is going to be my final post in this thread as I do not agree with the namechange but wanted to make a few comments based on Allan's last post:

Having the DSM as the focal point of the site until now has obviously been a success and the site has grown exponentially, which is where I don't follow why there is this sudden push for HUGE growth.

Then why is this new namechange being marketed to the members as a chance to draw members from "other" places? Like I said in my earlier post, if people don't feel welcome here because they don't own/drive a DSM, they need to open their eyes and look at the DSMStyle.com community.

Why the sudden push for a BIG growing period? As previously mentioned, in my opinion, this push for a BIG growing period is going to draw an incredible number of people who belong spamming the newbie forums on Toonerz. I have yet to come upon a truly large forum/site that carries the class which the current medium-sized DSMStyle.com has. I wish the administration and moderation team the best of luck on being able to keep things under control down the road.

If the site is giving everything it can to the sponsors, why shouldn't the sponsors do the same (treat members fairly & I'm referring to one specific sponsor)? Yes I'm bitter.....

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Jakey, if you think we are going after the size of somthing like DSMTuners or DSMTalk you're thinking in the wrong scope of things.

Plain and simple, they don't make DSM's anymore. We don't want the site to enter into a stalemate and die over time. So we took the next logical step to build upon our foundation to provide for future growth.

I am sure we will have to deal with situations that come up over the next 3-6 months, and we are preparred to deal with those in a quick and positive way.

I think you need to relax a bit and just wait and see what happens along with everyone else.

As far as your sponsor bit, I think you just need to cut ties with you doing business with them and forget about it. If you had a bad experiance then you've probably made the decison to take your business elsewhere, and that's your right. I do get tired of you bringing it up every 10 minutes though.


Sometimes there comes a time where you just have to think, "is this really where I want to be?". Ask yourself that question Jakey. We've know each other a very long time, but if you feel this site isn't up to your requirement's then maybe MitsuStuyle.com isn't the best place for you. If you relax a tad, and just wait and see what happens and then realize it's just going to be better and you think this is a place for you, then by all means stick around. The decison is yours.

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Jakey, enough with the animosity already, you sound like an old record...with a really bad country song on it or some shit.

We're not trying to oust the other local forums, we're trying to unite the current members of *this* board. Sure, we're hoping for new members, and if they're dumbasses, then we'll deal with that. Guess what, there's a lot of cool people out there that aren't here yet, and everyone on this site will benifit from there being more members. We're trying to open up the doors here a little, get rid of this arrogant better-than-thou attitude that some threads and you (Jakey) in particular seem to ooze.

In fact, if you do not like the site after we change, I'll personally setup a forum just for you and anyone else that hates the new site. I'll call it sandyvaginaforums.com and anyone can bitch about whatever they want!

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Um Chris you dumb shit. It would need to actually be sandyvaginaSTYLE.com. ;)

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

HAHA! Fucking awesome!

The way I see it, more people means more and different knowledge. No one knows EVERYTHING there is to know about DSMS and I see it as, the more people, provided they are knowledgeable people, the better chance you will have finiding what information or parts or whatever you are looking for.

Change isn't always good, but it isn't always bad, either. And it is ok to be open minded in such situations ;)

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Hahah! so be it!

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Scheides made me do it...

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

HAHAHA Wow that was funny.

But yea I agree with all of it and am open to the changes. Just dont turn this site into MNSC where everyone posts pics all day long of their crappy 3 tone cars with steelies on the front. So mods get ready to regulate that stuff lol.

---JET atleast the pesky german car made it to every event this year :) haha jp

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Oh snap!

I have nothing against the new changes, nor have I really been following this thread, but I do want to be a member of SandyVaginasSTYLE!!!

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Can I mod sandyvaginastyle.com?

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Yes, that is the very definition of MNSC. :rolleyes:

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Ya know, "most" people who are on DSMStyle.com like it here cause of what we do with it. MitsuStyle.com is just a extension of that, and a name. No reason to think we can't run it as good, or better than before.


And we don't need to be bashing sites like MNSC. Those guys put a TON of effort into events and such as well for their members. When you think of the guys who are behind sites like MNSC, MN 3S, EVO MN, and even DSMStyle, you'll find some hard working people that often put more thought and preparation into helping others enjoy the hobby rather than themselves.

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

So true. I like how close knit we are, too. Most of us anyways. It always seems to me you guys are always looking for new ways to bring us all together, like the dyno days, Bees, parties, ETC.

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

i do not like this mitsustyle name. as already stated, i like the fact that this forum has *<50 active posters. it keeps things tight. toight like a toiger!

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

You know exactly what I mean Matt.. come on.

I like MNSC alot but the postwhoring is rediculous over there. Threads for everything including saying what I ate for breakfast. If style gets that way Im just saying things are going to get kind of hectic. I have nothing against the mods/creators/people who run MNSC, I just dont like how things are so open over there, and I hope that doesnt happen here. Just my 2 cents.

BTW I am a member of MNSC and post somewhat regularily.

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

Once every post on here starts ending in "FTW!" like on MNSC, then we know we are in trouble.

Re: MitsuStyle.com
 

No, I don't. Say what you mean and mean what you say. MNSC is no worse than Toonerz when it comes to BS posts.
