Thinking of making a stang site

What I wanted to see is a '94-'95 specific mustang apperance website. Categories would be split up by wheels, different style bumper side skirts, paint schemes, and just all around cool stuff. Tons of pics and ideas for everyone. Appearance tips, etc... Maybee i'll have to eventually do it one day, lol.


That idea did cross our mind and as awesome as it sounded we just felt it would be to limiting on how many members we could get. Even though stang-tech is an all mustang forum your head moderator there (Nik) is very much a 94-95 guy so you know 94-95 guys will have it good there. The 94/95 specific forum is there for you to post anything tech/talk/pics related to your stang. So feel free to express yourself in there. Have fun and hope to see you there.
 
I appreciate everyone who has signed up on Stang-Tech.com so far. We have about 20 members so far and starting to get things rolling a bit. If you havent signed up yet please check us out and let us know what you think. We are a forum based site for the Mustang Enthusiast and would love to see a strong community grow. Thank you

how many more mustang forums do we need???


Thats just like asking how many cars do we really need? People like choice and selection and not everyone likes the same thing or they like more than one thing. Besides the post was directed to the people that have signed up on stang-tech already, and to those that have I am greatful for their support.
 
WHy doesn't someone just buy a domain and sevrer space then setup an open source cms like e107. That's what I did with my site. The cms has a forum built into it and can incorporate an e-commerce system and everything, it's pretty nice (and free, hence the "open source") I installed coppermine image gallery as well with mine. All you gotta do is learn some php, xhtml and css. Miine runs like $7/month :nice:

EDIT: Hah, i didn't even see that stang-tech link. Still, you need an articles/reviews section.

$7/month. who is your host, Powweb?
 
I use BlueHost.com they have great service. But I think you would have to upgrade the service to use a high traffic site. What I have gets me 4gigs of space + 120gigs/mo. transfer and the domain is free.

Yeah I looked into bluehost and they are really good. I purchased some space from powweb to run a adserver and store images and crap like that on. I go thru relynet for my forum service because IMO they offer the fastest forum software out there and have top notch servers. If anything happens to my forum they take care of it so it looks good to the members. None of that crashing downtime crap.
