Suggestions Wanted! Your Input Is Welcome! - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

steelsoldiers · 08-16-2009, 20:26

Hello Members,

I would like to personally invite all of you to be a part of this website's growth and development. Your opinions matters to us. If you have PM'ed us in the past and we didn't respond or implement your suggestion, please don't take it personally. Your PM may have been lost in the shuffle or we may have been distracted by some other issue. Please don't feel like you are being snubbed. If you know that certain members may have left this site for "_________" reasons, then let us know what upset them to the point that they left.

I feel that I must apologize for my persistent absence from the site in the first half of this year. Family and professional obligations took precedence over my SS family and I neglected many of my duties here. Thankfully Mike, Eric, and the other mods were able to keep things going.

This place is growing like crazy. It seems like only yesterday we broke 10,000 members. Now, we are almost to 13,000. A site like this requires constant tending and nurturing to remain viable. I am committed to its success and long-term survival.

To all of you that have donated money to the site and haven't received any thanks or recognition on the site, I apologize for that as well. I am way behind!

All of the admin and mods of SS are making a concerted effort to implement new policies, procedures, and features in the coming months. We would like SS to continue to be the premier online community for military vehicle enthusiasts and welcome your input.

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks Chris,
I would like to see a short cut to the wiki section included on the main tool bar or under the resources tab. I feel the wiki is a good source of basic information, sans opinion, that could be used to answer many questions asked over and again. Currently the wiki is located in the farthest corner of this site.

I have been lurking here for a while, While I dont own a MV alot of my friends do and i do enjoy the vehicles and toys the military uses as a whole. my only thoughts and comments though should you wish them to be displayed for comment or pm'ed? I am sure your a busy man as we all can be from time to time.

Heres one that would make things much easier...Spell check, and grammer check. I know you can write it up in Word and then cut and paste to the link, but thats a little more time consuming.
My two cents

well chris first i know ive said this before the site is awsome and thankx to you and you guys you have keeping it up but i do have a suggestion. say i need to get ahold of you and i know your steelsoldiers i have to go threw how many S'es till i find you .. unless i know the last thread you posted something on i can grab your name there and then Pm you. i think in the members section there should be a bar to type in a screen name to pull them up right now.. just my suggestion.....joe

Well Chris, Thank you for your concern, I truly appreciate it. This is a great site with exceptional people, some of the best in the hobby, David Doyle comes to mind first, and I have made numerous long distance friends. However recently there has been alot of "bad blood" drawn here, and I don't care for it. As far as comments and opinions go, I can PM you or let 'er rip right here. I'd like to stay but if things continue as they are, I'll also have to bid farewell also.

I would like to suggest a section for the user CP that links the user to their classifieds posting, rather than having to look through the list for you own. if this already exists somebody please point me in the right direction
