I would have to say that mustangworks is by far one of the most entertaining and helpful mustang sites on the net. That being said, I do agree with several of the ideas for possible changes that have been voiced in this thread.

One thing that has been mentioned by several people is the idea of adding a regional section (NW, SW, ect.) to the boards. I think that this is a great idea, and is something that I have noticed on other sites and have wished were available on here. It makes organizing cruises and get-togethers and other stuff that pertains to only a specific area much easier to do. I know that I have met a bunch of cool mustang people by virtue of regional message boards on other sites. Given the types of people I see posting here every day, I think it would be fun to meet some of you as well.

I like the idea for a bigger selection of smlies, the animated ones are pretty funny.

I also like the idea of creating a forum just for classifieds. I think that this will keep things more up-to-date and will make them more accessable as well.

PKRWUD's idea about some sort of a form to fill out before asking techical questions is a good one as well. I don't know how difficult it would be to fit that into the current system, but I'm sure it would reduce the "I have a ____ mustang that is making a funny noise, what could it be?" types of questions.

As far as the post count debate is concerned, I say we should just leave them as they are. As irrational as I know it is, I still find myself glancing over at the post count/ date of regsitry just to get some idea of what kind of credibility the person has. As it has aready been stated, the post count does not directly correlate with the knowledge of that person, but for some reason it does seem to be a decent informal measuring system. But I also think that the more time you spend here the more familiar you get with the various names and personalities, and you quickly begin to realize who knows what they are talking about, and who doesn't. The numbers were definatley usefull when I first started here though.
Even though I advocate keeping them, if they were to go I don't think I'd be too sad about it. My post count is tiny but doesn't really reflect how much time I spend here.

Now, if I could only find the button for that spell checker (hint hint).........
