Right now, I wouldn't even say we'd have a seperate forum for that.

Maybe look like this:

MitsuStyle.com

DSMStyle

EVOStyle

3SStyle

Other

Ect Ect.

JDMstyle lol. j/k

FattyBoomBatty · 10-01-2006

Otherstyle? I'll take it!

HiImBrian · 10-01-2006

I like the idea of separating 3s's, evos, and dsms etc. I just hope we don't lose the "unity" that this site has to offer. I'm also a dsm owner and I am sad to see a strictly dsm based website expand. For me it just makes it harder to find what I'm looking for. I just hope it works out no matter what.

A//// Guy · 10-01-2006

Pimpinstyle? hahaha

The name change should be interesting, im open for change, it doesnt really matter what the site is called it will still be the same down deep.

**1ViciousGSX** · 10-01-2006

The only forums I would think that would be broken down would be the tech forums. No need to break anything else apart.

FattyBoomBatty · 10-01-2006

And that's all I ask. Please please please please please please please please let me mod my own forum....! lol.

(let's see how begging works

)

**scheides** · 10-01-2006

Sheesh, relax! If you pay me one million dollars, I will let you.

AJ · 10-02-2006

No, Chris I'll make you give the money back

LOL

FattyBoomBatty · 10-02-2006

I'll have the money next time I see you. I hope you've got the boardwalk and vermont avenue.

I think that the change will be good. I kinda agree, the given reason is kinda silly, but whatever.
I am sure that the change will be taken care of in a good way and no one will find the quality of the site dropping.
As far as the noob thing goes, don't be a complete dumbass, and then maybe u won't get owned.
Pimpin' style FTW!!

**EVOMR05** · 10-02-2006

I have watched this site grow since the begining...(with my kids and their friends) and now as a family...well both my sons are members, along with many of their friends and me!
Everyone hates change. But change is good. It will bring in fresh ideas, new topics, & best of all new friends to chat with, who like everyone on this site like their cars and want to have fun. So it maybe hard to make the change....but worth it in the long run.
So good luck "MitsuStyle.com"

I fear change

**Kracka** · 10-02-2006

No HondaStyle.com? Haha

I think the name change will bring in a bit more traffic (hopefully for the better). Its amazing how this site has grown since its conception in....let me think here.....2002? I think thats when I joined at least.

*edit* That thing to the left says I joined on Aug '03 which doesn't seem right. I know I first started whoring on the site sometime during my soph. year of college which was Sept '02 - May '03.

Didnt the site lose everything sometime in the spring/early summer of 02 and all of the members had to re-sign up? I thought I remember something like that? I have been reading since about that time but never joined til recently.

I dont think the new name will be a bad thing at all. The whole DSM crowd is getting smaller and smaller every month.

Allan, are you planning on keeping the dsmstyle.com address too? Like have it redirect you to the new name? I think that would be a smart idea.

AJ · 10-02-2006

I've owned the name sometime around 1999 - 2000 and i think the first forums went up around 2001 and it's been downhill ever since.

Yup, I think I was something like the 6th member on the "old, old old" forum.
Back when you were actively recruiting on MIAC.com.

We welcome the change up here at the shop as well. This will still be THE local dsm board, but if we can also start to welcome the other Mitsubishi enthusists, so much the better.

It is like Chris said at the dyno day, we all have the same problems. A parent company that doesn't like to honor warranty and recall work, strong motors, weak trannies, and worthless accessory components. Couple that with the various grades of plastic dash's among the different cars, and in a nutshell we all deal with similar shit. Granted some cars are fwd, awd, n/a, turbo..etc but there is a common theme, we are all Mitsubishi Enthusists.

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!

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

AJ · 10-02-2006

yeah, we have gone through 3 periods of actual forum changes resulting in 3 times people have had to sign up. Finally biting the bullet with the vB software was the way to go.

We are keeping the DSMStyle.com name. I'll never give that up. Shit I still think I have midwestdsm still pointing here as well. Mitsustyle.com already points here. There is probably a few others we have snagged up. Chris knows more on that one. And there's one I want him to grab.

lol
