Re: MitsuStyle.com

Personally I don't understand why people feel there is a need for change, especially after a huge debate already took place a few months back when the name change to MidwestDSM.com was proposed. I remember when Allan was on the verge of throwing everything in the dumpster and selling the DSMStyle.com domain but as already pointed out, the site is been a huge success. People from all realms of the Mitsu and non-Mitsu world already are participating members here. If someone feels that they're not welcome because they don't drive a DSM, they need to open their eyes and look at the community that has developed here, and look past what everyone drives. I have been an active member since mid-2002 and did not own a DSM until mid-2004. Having DSM in the domain name obviously didn't bother me. Quite frankly, I believe that changing the name to Mitsustyle.com is only going to invite more stupid fucking idiots who should be spamming the Newbie forum on Toonerz versus wasting everyone's time here.

This is what I am trying to avoid, we have some admin here that take the time to try and correct the way a new member acts on the forums. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. But we will continue to give ALL new members a fair shot with the change. No matter how clueless some might be. And like myself when I got my first DSM, I was totaly in the dark. Still am on some things.

This also goes with putting an end to items such as the flamdimation valve occurances.

Plain and simple, if people don't have anything good to say on the fourms don't say it. Bring it to an admin and we will deal with it from there.

I don't want to be put in a position to keep one old school member vs 20 new members who know nothing just because of post content.

Re: MitsuStyle.com

I don't mind the name change. So go for it. And yes been here for a while also. And I agree it bring more people in. My only beef is that I don't have to resign up. But I think the vb software has the covered. So do what ya want to do man. If people hate it let them deal with it. Its what you want the community to be like. Mitsu DSM who cares. If you think Mitsu is bad. Then he could of done Eagle or Plymouth.

So I am one for the new change. I think I can live threw that.

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?

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

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?

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

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!!!

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.

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