Sister Site for Modern Alfa's!
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 11:30 pm
Ok, here's an announcement i didn't think we'd be making just yet, but in all fairness, i think it has been the overall blinding success of this Classic Site, that has led to this at all, let alone the timing of it,
but after many of you here already also own and drive more modern Alfa Romeo cars, myself and Kev have heard from some of you, wondering if would ever see our way into allowing a lounge or thread to discuss the day to day living with a modern Alfa.
well, never let it be said that we don't listen to our members views and opinions seriously here at Classic Alfa Forum, so we will go a whole lot better than that, and we are now in planning stages of creating a full on sister site, http://www.ModernAlfaForum.com
The plan is the have a joint welcome page, whichever site you search for, and from there given the choice of either the Classic or Modern site route. From those choices you will either land here, the home of things Alfa wonderfully older than the 156 era cars, or alternatively the Modern site, for all things 156 era up to today.
The Modern site will replicate the functionality of this site precisley, and be set up in exactly the same way, same software, same layout etc etc, but we may sharpen the visuals a little to relfect its more youthful purpose!
Hopefully, there will only be the need for a one time registration to use both sites, so all current Classic members will have full access to the sister site, and vice versa, in the hope that maybe we can cross promote and drive people towards enthusing after and owning simply either more, or just more interesting Alfa Romeo's.
The sister site will be free to join, just as this is, as it will be funded again by Kev and myself once more, believing that we've come this far, and you've all been extremely supportive and positive about everything, so quite rightly we will continue to respond in the best way we can.
JohnBoy and Joe, have very kindly agreed to moderate this new site once its up and running, so they'll be the first ones over there talking gibberish about MP3's, not NGK, and how to best get Dazzle on your Dashboard instead of Polishing your Ports (only kidding! ) so please be respectful as always, they will be doing this voluntarily, in their own time, and purely because they wish help run the sites as smoothly as possible.
Plus, Johns gutted he hasn't had cause to ban anyone yet, and thinks he'd stand a better chance finding a victim moderating the GTV lads!
Please be patient, the site won't happen overnight, but as always, we will be doing everything we can to bring it together as soon as possible.
We will announce any updates on this or any news on a pending launch as we have it.
Thanks for everything everyone, and all the best for helping making our site what it is today, and tomorrow.
