Please read - Like to hear your ideas / suggestions please
Really like to read your views / input on this topic
Always striving to improve the ESC If possible
I Was approached by Tissy regarding a website for the ESC , This i may add i have been asked numerous times & i have declined as i dont not want to move the forum away from Scoobynet.
So the idea is to have our own site , Where you can look @ Members cars . Members faces , Order ESC shirts On line , Stickers , Showplates , Download a E Style newsletter , We shall be able to archive old editions of the newsletter as well here , The options are endless & i would like to hear if any of you have any other ideas / suggestions that you would like to put forward
The other thing is , Where does the URL - Essexscoobycrew.com / co.uk need to Forward you to @ Present punch in either of those addys @ it will bring you here
How about redirecting the esseexscoobycrew.com / co.uk to this other site & then to simply get back here " Click on FORUM " Within the new site , That way every new member see's what the ESC Is about rather than trawling through loads of threds on here to find out imformation ( i:e Pink shirts , Mugshots , Members cars , ) This other way everthing will be under one roof as to speak
!!THE ESC FORUM WILL STILL REMAIN HERE WHATEVER !!
Tissy has kindly knocked this quick demo site up for us all to look @ , Nothing is " Live " yet & Will need lots of other work on it , If we do decide to go down this route , But please take a look @ the Gallery , Shop , & the newsletter section so that you get the idea , Simply click on forum & you return here ..
PLEASE HAVE A LOOK @ THE DEMO PAGE LINK BELOW
Subaru Impreza CarPC
That's really about it , I Hope that you understand where im coming from , If this gets the go ahead then i would like it to be all in place in time for a fresh start in 2007 , If not we shall just carry on as we are
I Have added a poll to this thread , Just to try & get as much input as possible
Thanks for taking the time to read
Please add all your comments to this thread

What an excellent idea 
!!
Seriously though, i am open for any other suggestions, graphical changes etc etc. But you need to get involved.........and be constuctive !!
If the ideas are good ones then i will ammend the current demo site within 12hrs so you can see your changes along with everyone else. I think this is an excellent opportunity to widen the base for ESC.

Fan-Bloody-Tastic idea.
I think this would work really well alongside S-net.
Gives a very professional image and would allow people to easily see what the ESC is all about.
I know I'm still fairly new round here but I say GO FOR IT!

Well first day almost over and 100% in favour so far, i'm impressed. Keep the positive views coming in and spread the word people !! There are minimal suggestions of other things the site could contain, so get them thinking caps on, for colour schemes, graphics, logos etc etc.
HATB - My personal view on advertising is that it the web site is a gateway to the ESC. So as such i feel that it shouldn't be littered with sponsors and adverts etc. However, your point is valid. How about a suggestion that this site is only sponsered by a single company which changes on the first of every month. So in effect throught the year there will be only 12 sponsors, each having 1 month of fame. With this option their sponsorship fee can go towards the site upkeep. ie when this site migrates to its own server there may be a small monthly fee involved which can be covered by the advertisers?
I wonder who could be the first Sarah.......
.........
...........ABW by chance ??

I like the idea of having our own website, especially with the forum staying here. Best of both worlds then.
As Nate says, might help tidy up this forum a bit too.
Would be nice to have a really professional look and feel. Make the ESC look like the special club it is and not like a bunch of Chavs in fast cars. 
Maybe we could look at a fresh new logo to launch the new site too.

Site looks very very good I think as an idea for the gallery is to maybe have a pic of the persons car, a pic of the person who ownes it and a little bit about that person i.e. Age, location, proffession, & username and if they do anything for the club, what it is i.e. Tiny - Regional organiser of the SIDC etc etc.
Also the bit about sponsering the the site, good idea for the upkeep of the site but will the newsletter then loose out on being sponsered i.e. if ABW do sponser the site for a month will they still want to sponser the Newsletter in that month?
Also was suggested to me via pm could the newsletter have a new members section for newbies to be introduced...maybe this could be put on the site again with a pic of their car, username etc etc and how they found out about Essex Scooby Crew.
All of the above just ideas and my opinions
But fantastic work and if I can be of assistance let me know

I like the site.
IMO the ESC is big enough to have it's own site including a forum. I'd be up for moving it. At least that way the ESC would have full control over who contributes to it. Unlike here for example where people are banned for having their website address in their user name, even if they are not making a profit.
Surely the ESC would benefit for charging a few quid to advertise there rather than it going in someone else's pocket!
However, if the forum remains here, then the link should point here. Otherwise people may find it difficult to find us. But it's a top idea for having all the who's who and members cars sections else where.

As i never got to vote :(
i Like the site,
& think it needs more than just 13 votes to make it happen
e.g more input from the Poeple who would use it??
Leave this thread going for the next month (think it will happen)
so people get to know we may be moving/Having an OFFICAL SITE.
