POLL / NEWS UPDATE - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

**West** · 01-30-2002, 04:21 PM

So as most of you know I am working on a new design for the site as well as working to upgrade the forum with the new release of the new design. Last night we hit 1000 members. Not to mention be are now growing at about 200+ members a month, way more then expected. Its not that I dont want it to grow into the best nissan community there is but I do have to support the bandwidth. The site now is ran off our server at work which is a dedicated T1 line. With this site along with the other 5+ sites we host and run it gets a little slow.

So in my effort to upgrade the forums and site I am going to be forced to think of ways to pull in a little cash from the site to pay for more bandwidth. Now what I was thinking is to get some ideas from you guy as to way I could possibly make some extra doh to pay for this.

I thought of the basics which would be zilvia.net stickers and license plate frames and anything else related to that, but I wanted everyones feedback as to what you would want to see on the site as far as like Stickers, etc.

IMHO, I dont think Zilvia.net stickers and plates will sell to well, maybe its just me. So I was thinking of having some custom plates done and or custom stickers or whatever else you guys might want. So this is why I am asking everyone this. What would you like best to be sold off this site to bring in a small ammount of cash to support the site.

Im trying to plan this ahead of time so I dont end up with 10,000 members and just one T1 and then not being able to run the site since I cant afford to pay out of my pocket for another T1 line. But dont worry, I wont let that happen.

So please tell me all your ideas!

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
