well... with everyones feedback, we've got a good looking site, I've added some storage space and will be (re-)opening a gallery again soon.
Throw some ideas out there about how to attract more members...

I think you are already headed down that path. There are quite a few sponsors on the site and I'm very pleased with that in the amount of time GCT.com has been alive. It's just up to each of us to spread the word and show pride in our rides and our group. Community involvement such as November Toys for Tots and April March of Dimes.....start connecting with other car/truck enthusiasts and groups. Anything that gets us face-to-face exposure.

yes and also put the link to the site all everyones face book twitter myspace accounts. Maybe we should make a custom banner for all members to add on the social media networks.

Posting on Myspace is like licking Spark Plugs. It may be tasty but you will be eventually shocked. I mean, we have all tried it and learned, licking spark plugs I mean, but do we want to go back to the well of MySpace? We have left the Egypt of the internet and crossed the Red Sea, shall we return to slavery?
What was I saying?

I removed myself from the social network stuff for a few reasons and only stick to my Tundra things....but I can see where they give you exposure. The exact reason I closed them! LOL.....so I agree they may cause drama but at the same time it gets you out there. Good analogies to licking spark plugs though JB.....

Shawn 
We are all in a Social Networking Site now. We choose to single out and discriminatly bash other Social Sites we deem lesser than our exacting standards. This isn't us thinking it is bad. This is us being elitist. MySpace is weakening. Facebook and Twitter are the big boys now. With Linked In being the Grey Poupon to everyone elses Yellow Mustard. Twitter Changed the face of Social Networking by bringing LIVE UPDATES to the party.
And what a party it is!

We really need something that tells a bit about the site's mission. I get the feeling that the people I've given the cards to just aren't familiar with how to navigate the site and lose interest.
For the New Year, let's consider a more user-friendly front page to welcome new comers/1st time visitors. Create a mission, tell what we're about, post upcoming events, etc.

Not necessarily. Just some type of interface when first viewing the site like you had at the beginning....then send them on over to the forums.
