First off I would like to thank all of the members & moderators for making this place what it is. The admins, & moderators here are doing there best to help guide this forum in the proper direction. We all understand that we will never make everyone happy, but the majority is all we can hope for.

Thank said, thank you for being a member here and joining in our passion for the Ducati 1098.

In the next 30 days you will see some changes that have resulted from your input. I have received many suggestions and I thank all of you who have stepped up with these ideas. Below are some things to come. I just wanted to give all of you an update so you know what's going on behind the scenes.

1. We will add a forum for segregation..... this will be used for local track days and group riding event that are only valuable for local people in certain areas. We will rely on you to tell us what's needed as far as what areas. I will post up a thread for suggestions once this is completed.

2. Sponsors- Phil & I will go though the sponsor applications and decide on what's best for the members as far a the sponsors go. Our best interest will be to get a good coverage of sponsors that will be top notch in customer service and offer the greatest deals and group buys to you guy's. A sponsor section has already been added and setup, we are just waiting for the final details and it will be turned on.

3. There will be some sort of "Forum Supporters" membership that members can join for a small fee, we may include stickers and a t-shirt with this package. This will depend on what you guys want. This membership may also include added features such as added pm space, access to your personal gallery, access to a membership only forum, an e-mail account with the @1098-forum.com domain etc... these are still ideas at this point, but something along these lines will happen.

Thank you again for being here and we look forward to you growing with us.

Thanks R1Lover, sounds like a whole bunch of nice/good updates will be done to board, I look forward for it. I cant express enough how helpfull the mods/admins been, couldn't ask for a better coward of people.

also I think the membership support/features is a great idea and can't wait for implantation of that to take place. I'll be here to help contribute as much as I can because I know how much work it is to up keep something like this.

Finally, Im not quite sure if you were still looking/asking for suggestions on the local tracks and group events. I've helped implement some in ideas like this in the past...

Thanks again R1Lover.

James

Thank you everyone for the support and kind words.

This place took off a little more then we thought it would so yes there have been some growing pains that caught us off guard, we are moving forward though and after we get these things rolling it will help for sure.

Jame one more post and you are a postwhore now.... ;)

I have received so many e-mail in response to this one.... All of them were great and really supportive. Thank you to all of you that replied by e-mail and posting, what a great little family we have here.


We even have an offer to from a race car team to put some stickers on it to support the forum.... It will be great to see the forum name plastered on the side of a race car....lol
