What about a website, nay a forum, that serves as a valuable online resource for Delica JDM owners and enthusiasts in Canada and abroad. Topics could include Delica L300 Technical, WVO and Biodiesel, Parts and Supplies. This forum could be the place to learn about upcoming Club Meets and Events. This Forum could be maintained by dedicated volunteers, and be published both for the conventional internet browsers, and for Mobile Devices. . . . I'm just sayin.
I know attempts have been made by savvy individuals to freshen this forum, but it is privately owned as I understand it, and not actually property of the community that keeps it alive. As such, we are at the whim of a small handful of people, who seem content to keep the look and feel of this site in the early 2000's - it's painfully clunky. It's like a historical document of what the internet used to be. We can't even give thumbs up to posts we like, for crying out loud.
If you have a look at the design community, there are some pretty fantistic websites, that combine the latest social media, using off the shelf apps, and dazzling images and videos all to create a sense of a vibrant and active community. Modern forum platforms include social media integration. Even my mother knows her way around facebook, pintrest, twitter, flavours and blogger - and she's nearly 70.
With a little initiative, we could have a fantastic home on the web, that we could access from our bathrooms on a tablet. Seriously, we could do a lot better, with little more than point and click knowledge of computers. Like even a flavours me page for delicas with a link to this forum would be an improvement. Someone could start a blog - with juried articles on various topics - as a way to gauge if there is enough content being produced for a more serious publication.
On that note, here's a link to a pintrest board I started - Ok, I started it yesterday, so there's not much there yet.
