    Just catering to the idea of a setup such as northern animations site, where people must register and introduce themselves before using the site. It would reduce the amount of people whoring the site with one post bashing.

    Any Ideas?

      Its weird...I was just on NA today, checking it out, and noticed that. It wouldnt be a HORRIBLE idea to do it like that...it would make the site a little more exclusive...and reduce the d-bag factor...

      Either way id still be addicted to the site... 😛

            I had it that way back in the day, and it just ended up being a bunch of people with one post.

            Its really no better then what it is now, except for the fact that it whores up the memberlists....

              What's happening now isn't much different that what's been on here before. In fact, it's alot more calm than in previous dramatic times on FS. That may be due to the maturity level of the people that are being harassed in the recent forums and them not giving in to the temptaion to respond to the posts and letting it blow out of proportion. It has been pretty tame IMHO.

                to stop the drama is not what i was gettin at. i was just thinking along the lines of seeing who is comin onto the site, where they are from, what they drive, etc......
                and if they dont feel the need to let that be known about them, ban em. maybe next time they will tell a lil more about themselves

                  The problem with making it members only, is then we loose nearly all of the search engine hits / links from other pages.

                  That accounts for alot of the guests you see everyday. If somebody wants to participate in a site, they will, its just hard to force them too....

                      Exactly. I think the site is better now than say.... 1 year ago.

                        I understand where you guys are coming from. I just like the idea of having to introduce yourself. It is a nice feature on acount then you get to know the person posting more. my 2cents.

                          Really, what does the intro requirement actually do? The people who want to just lurk are going to just post something like "Just posting because I have to." If someone is actually into cars, 9 times out of 10 they will post an intro with what they drive, mods, plans, etc.

                            Yes it is! Speaking of there are alot of people on this site all the time, it is such a change from when I first joined. Back in the day I would be the only one on the site most of the time.

                                    When Scavenger hunt came to mind, I was thinking of finding certain things online, like certain pictures, or.. whatever, it was a dumb thought, but maybe hopefully to bring up a few ideas..

                                        Have people design a new logo, or a shirt design that will be sold at FS events. Such as the BBQ. 🙂

                                        The winner can get a gift cert to SLS, SLD or Tintmasters or something cool.
