New Feature Coming: Clubs

[Drew Dowdell]

There is a new feature coming in the software, Clubs.  They work much in the same way that Facebook groups do.  That is, any standard member can create and run a club.  Clubs can have their own topics, galleries, blogs, and calendar.  You can literally run your own mini-forum inside of CheersandGears if you wanted.   

If you create a club, you can have control over its membership, appoint moderators, or have it be invisible to the general public (Admins can still see everything of course).  Topics from Clubs can be moved to the general forum and vice versa. 

If a bunch of you are Game of Thrones fans and want to chat together in a "Club" here on C&G, you can set it up.  Or Hockey... or fans of Oldsmobiles... whatever you want as long as it is not X-rated.

What I'm looking for is feedback on how you guys might want this to be structured or any specific rules you think should be put into place. 

I expect the feature by mid-Summer.

Very interesting concept. Hope you will see this through but I certainly understand the need to just shut it all down.

Hmmmm

I remember, years ago, we unofficially had clubs. It was pretty fun.

[Drew Dowdell]

Well now it will be official and software supported

Very cool, interesting way to consider focus discussions. Have to think on this.

We could start up an alternative fuels group certainly, I would like that...

Yes, but would that not be a duplication of the alternative fuel and propulsion forum section we already have?

I was thinking a conversion group would be cool? Sub group of the original alternative fuel and propulsion section where we could discuss converting ICE to CNG or ICE to EV, etc.?

Thoughts?

So few people actually do running conversions that stay in service as regular vehicles that I think a conversion group would be almost irrelevant.

I would like to see a more serious discussion into the technical aspects of going from a fossil fuel economy to a renewable fuel economy, actually.

Interesting and a good idea as a subsection. Nice!
