OzMPSclub: The next stage
We started OzMPSclub back in 2008 as a separate space for MPS owners to create a community and talk about modifications, their love of cars and to get advice. We feel we somewhat achieved that goal and have an awesome community of members and a wealth of knowledge about our cars for others to read.
This wouldn’t have been possible without the awesome support from key Forum Staff and active members. Without you guys, we wouldn’t be where we are today!
We also have great sponsors on board, who have allowed us to continue to offer what we think is the most reliable and fastest performing server platform out of all of our “competitors”. In addition to sponsorship revenue, we still are supported financially by our members. Because of this, we have funds to maintain this site well into the future.
But with the growth of other community mediums, such as Facebook, we’ve seen activity drop off and some of our key members move on to other projects, myself included.
It’s time we moved OzMPSclub to the next stage and refocus what it is that is our core offering - Community discussion.
In the coming months we will be talking with you about what you want from the site. The Internet is a very different place now than what it was back in 2008. Should we clear out the clutter of add-on features like the Arcade, Photo Albums etc and just keep the site as a forum? Or should we look to add more features to the site to offer more?
In terms of staff that manage the site, a number of them have moved on to bigger and brighter things. We couldn't be more happy with the time and effort they put in to help us. It's time to bring in some fresh blood and enthusiasm. We will put a call out for new Forum Staff shortly.
We want to be open and honest about our plans and welcome your feedback in this thread or by email to webmaster@ozmpsclub.com
In the next month or so, we will send out a survey to all members asking various questions to help us refocus. We hope you will work with us so that we can build OzMPSclub into the club you would want to be involved in.
Cheers,
Rowan
