    i would love to have a medium to be able to sell on mysandman and maybe to extend further than mysandman.. don't know how though. Ebay fees are way to high and i would much rather sell to someone that isn't a pain in the bum.

    Also Mysandman on I Phone would be awesome! then ill buy an i phone. lol

    I would love that but I don't have a steering wheel, we need both ours :lol:

    We should however have a sh..tload of extra stuff left over from vans shortly though...

    Yeah, buy & sell is a great idea, as has been mentioned. Then you would not have to be concerned about being screwed on e bay, as mook said.

    You guys know there is a buy sell section on the forums, and many use it.
    What can we 'do' to make it different and better?

    Remember eBay has 1,000 software engineers designing their website - mySandman still hasn't paid the fees to the last guy. :Texas:

    Be specific and get your brain juices flowing, how can this site best server the Sandman community (other than updating and correcting errors on our website).

    The other things I've seen are;
    A map with a rough location of members. While it can be nice, plenty of people also worry about the privacy issues there.

    I generally found the registry that stickthis has on his hz-gts site interesting. It could be interesting to see the same with vans if their known history was also there. Same privacy issues again however.

    I've also seen one where forum members could advertise their services to other members. So if you're looking for a tradie or mechanic you could look to other members.

    All that said, I find this to be one of the best forums out there and is a credit to you Blocker.

    Edit: Just logged into oldholden, I do like their nifty ebay scroll bar widget.

    I sort of like the way it is simple and just a forum. I reckon it is the easiest to find your way around on also.
    Maybe you could have a featured van or ute or car show or similar each month.

    I really like the map suggestion, a services directory maybe? what if it was divided up into State and categories?

    If I developed an iPhone(y) app what would it do? No point having an app that's just a copy of the website?

    a store would be great. and with Vbulletin you should be able to find a mod that you can install onto the site with ease. i used to run a forum that had that kind of stuff. it was good and pretty easy to install those kinds of mods. If you need any help i used to be able to code stuff here and there so let me know

    I'm on another website as a member, has the same layout as this. I know NOTHING about web pages etc, but apparently there is some cash involved to keep it afloat. On this other site, they ask if you'd like to donate a small ammount of money to keep the fees in check. It's not compulsary, but you get your name in bright green (like Barbados ) and you're listed as a donor member. It makes you feel a little better knowing that you're giving something to the site that is giving so much back.

    Like I said, I don't know if this is costing anything, or the apps you guys have suggested cost..? But if it does, maybe we can give a little to ensure the site remains financial instead of relying on one person to look after it all..? This is coming from way out there, cause I don't know the figures. Also, if there is some cash flow coming in, It could go towards some advertising etc. :Chin:
