• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Family Laundry

Lately, the numbers of "guests" exceed the numbers of "members" 170/100.
What can we do to bring to light this "guest" from the shadows?
Why not upgrade the SpyderLovers membership to a "platinum" level? A second site where we wash laundry in the family.
In order to achieve this level, one needs to collect 10 SpyderLovers referrals (family, friends, meet and great and so). Like that everybody knows that they own a Spyder. Same referral rule is applicable to BRP employees, service managers, mechanics, etc. without the ownership but disclosing who/where are they. Just my HO.
:chat:
 
What purpose would that serve? How do curious/prospective Spyder owners get educated? I was a guest and read this entire forum before purchasing my Spyder. I own a Spyder, but couldn't get 10 referrals if I had to.
 
Here's an idea and it could help Lamonster w/ his site support - we can make a platinum level but in order to get in, you need to contribute a small money amount - let's say $25.

Other than that, you have the normal forums but most people I find that join stuff like this and stay on for a while, are willing to pay for more.

Maybe have some different folders for Platinum members - not sure what but on one of my premium forums which I pay to use, I get access to some folders such as sick jokes, political views, as for Spyder stuff, I don't have any ideas but I'm sure some will chime in.

Could be way off base here and it could be something nobody wants but just sayin that I do belong to a forum (Women Riders) that does this. And I've become pretty close with the people who are in there. Been on it for 5 yrs now.

Edit to add: I think Spyder Talk does this - something called Spyder Nation - but I do not know what is in there.

I won Nation statice at the BBQ, I know you get a tee shirt, I think a little more mail space, and the rest I'll find out.
 
And yes there is a discussion area that is only available to "club members" and they highlight your user/avatar area that you are a member. Enough 007 for the night. Smilinacha:shemademe_smilie::shemademe_smilie::shemademe_smilie::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

007 - I don't get:dontknow::popcorn:
 
Ok, since I'm a spyder nation club member and I just gave up the details, I feel like a spyderlover plant.
 
I'll have to go back to give you the details, but the talk was good old boy stuff till they found out who incy was. Now there talking table dancing in kilts, then they found out about Incy (40ish knockout) now there dancing in thongs at next years smokies event. To bad I can't make it next year, it shurly would be a hoot watching Billybob dancing in anything.

I would be more then willing to pay some money for a membership because spyderlovers IS worth it. How about paying members/platinum members actually get to post whereas all other can just read postings.

Just a thought
 
Okay -- so back on topic...

A more 'private' club for actual owners?

Interesting idea.

What's the main goal Doc? Keeping the noobs and possible trolls away?

Maybe an OWNER only folder - that others can read-only??

To me - the Spyder Nation idea seemed a bit too 'corporate'.
