Like Corvette Forum and SVTP we need to have a few classes, basic members (allowed basics of CR), Silver Member (annual fee, more benefits, access to more domain), Gold Member (larger annual fee, etc..)
This would incorporate more money into CR thus allowing us to give more back to the community. I think philanthropy should be a part of CR allowing us to give back to the community. Maybe get some good vibes from the media.
Also I believe as a member it's on you to spread the word of CR, tell anyone and everyone. We need to take it down a notch in the Oven. Yes mods and admins rely on the members to interrogate the new applicant but just because they need a day to post pictures doesnt mean we need 25 people bitching at them to post pictures and that they fail and are pieces of shit. Help them become a better member. If you see someone has already informed them of this in the thread leave it alone. I try to keep tabs on the oven and with 48 hours if they have not met the criteria or atleast made an attempt to follow the rules I ban and lock the thread. Lets bring a more positive vibe to the site.
We all know there are certain little clicks on the site just like any other small based community. And not saying that is bad but as a car community we need to take better steps in coming together as a group. I try to carry myself on here just as I do in person. Anyone that knows me outside of CR can tell you this. I am 100% willing to help take CR to the next level of car community.
