Just as the topic says....what do you want from this site?
What do you want to see more of? less of?
Merchandize Ideas?
Social Media Ideas?
More race/event coverage?
More Projects?
More showcases?
Parts reviews?
Shop reviews?
Jump in and speak up! I am open to all positive and negative feedback.

Aside from the obvious foam koozies, honestly I think the only ting the site could benefit from would be more traffic, more members and more current members using the site opposed to Instagram and Facebook for updates and projects.
You have provided a solid platform and a very useful site. Anyone one and everyone I deal with when it comes to selling parts or just casual conversation with people at the lake I bring up the forum and encourage them to sign up because I believe this site is great and there are a lot of good members here.
So if anything the only thing I could suggest is finding a way to spread the name but then again it's out there on most social media and now were back to the question of what can be done to bring more people in.

Theres a reason i call Socaljetboats home. Theres no BS drama. Brad your doing a great job! keep up the good work.
i think some more showcases and race coverage would be great. You know you are always welcome in the 177 pits.
Shop reviews could be really neat.
I think a video review of parts from different members once a month would be awesome!
One thought i had is maybe monthly photo contest, but make it creative.

i think user interview or a showcase would be a great way to boost traffic. for example you do sooo many videos with a 1 second blurry swipe of hallet daves boat... but then theres hardly any pictures of it on the site. theres some boat making a balls out pass down the river that sounds amazing, but for us that arent in the circle we have no clue whos it is, what he's running, etc.
also ive personally been avoiding threads with busted image links/previews. its gotta be killing your page views and analytics. i know you cant force them to update their app on their phone/tablet but you can restrict them from uploading a new picture... ie: on upload, is your version 2.x?, no, well image upload failed, redirect them to the "UPDATE YOUR APP!" page. done deal.

Umm howbout more bikinis

Yeah I agree You can be a totall newbie ,ask some really dumb questions and nobody on this site treats you like an a$$ they just try to help .Personaly B-Rad I dont know how you can work full time and manage this site ,Hell I'm exhausted when I get home from work , But then again I'm older than dirt LOL I think you do a great job and I go on this site everyday to see whats up I'm looking forward to meeting you guys at some events next year if you dont mind an old dude like me hanging out with you all . 8)

I say leave it it's more like a extended fam then a bunch jack holes creating drama and talking trash. Each gathering is getting bigger and bigger as we grow but with good intentions and people.

I love the calendar idea. The problem with a calendar is that they cost money to produce, just like the DVD and stickers and hats koozies all that stuff. Im not sure how merch sales are going but I didn't see a lot of people buying the DVD.
The only thing that I would change about the site is the colors O0 I love the old yellow and brown colors from when I first started on here back in 2009. I would also like to see more traffic. This site is so good and at times it gets a little slow during the winter but overall we are all on here a lot and none of us like the "other guys". Im just not sure how to do it. But with all that said I do like the calander and ill pre pay a year in advance. We can take votes on pictures submitted by members and those 12 will go in the calendar. If you want to secure a month it will cost you more :-).

Simply put, like everyone else has said before. The site is great, every time I'm on there is someone new. Everyone I've talked to has been overly helpful, no one is trying to screw with anyone. As far as growing, the bigger the site gets the harder it is to control and those problem people come in.
I would like to see more of everyone's boats, I know myself I am guilty if not posting pictures. And like said above, I'm not on the other social media sites. Plus I've have not made it out to a meet yet, so I don't know most of you personally. Which some times is a little intimidating because it is so much like a family. (This is mostly my own doing though.)

I love this site. It's the first thing I check when I get up and the last thing I read before I go to sleep. Not to mention the the times during the day. I like a boat of the month deal with voting not sure how it would work. Winners could be in the calendar. You do a great job Brad !!!!

I want to see more members posting more PICTURES!
If you guys are remotely thinking more merchandise.... start buying more merchandise!
I want to see what you guys are doing, or in my case not doing!
Stop posting YOUR home movies.
They're cool but they're YOUR HOME MOVIES!
Other than that, everyone can blow me.

The more you post the more you get. You can also sign up for the membership which gives you % off merch and helps the site run :-) PM Brad@socaljetboats.com for the details.

Don't get me started on metal flake... All the new wake boats are doing! Does that make it cool again?
My girl loves it, I can't stand it. There is a time a place for it, and on my boat is not the time nor place. Haha

This wasn't a thread where I was looking for compliments but I appreciate it.
I fixed the image attachment size issue. I am still fixing the issue with broken thumbnails created by iphone/iPad users. I am working on a new image upload module thats much easier to use. Seems a lot of people have issues uploading pics on the site. I want to make it as easy as possible. FB easy.
I plan on doing 'bio' short videos this next summer. Kinda spotlights a boat and its owner in each video. Still do the usual videos I have been doing. Just means more work, right?
Ive been beating myself up lately about this site and feel like it could use more. Yeah, everyone says its great n all, but the numbers dont lie. Its not just winter time slow either. Been a slow year traffic wise. So let's get those projects posted and get this place pumpin. Thanks to the guys who are already doing it.

exactly that way we can log in or open the app boom see the SoCal live thread and see what our extended family is up to today, working on the boat, sand toys, truck etc etc throw a pic up. I think this would keep
More people coming back daily and also attract new.

This thread is like 3 years old, but the Facebook thing was discussed and agreed upon. I put it to the FB page users to urge those not on Socal to sign up.
Just saying.
The Facebook thing is just a little bit more accessible is why it took off. Not sure if you really want ALL of those users over here, some of them are dildos.

I take full responsibility for the fb thing ... I told myself I would use it as a tool to drive more traffic to the site, but I kinda put this on the back burner because it was so much easier to promote and spread the word on there than here.
Now that HPF is past us (not really, I have a ton of post-event work still to do) I have some plans for the website... including moving it to a bigger faster server, updating the mobile app, and giving the website a complete makeover....a whole new look and feel.
I apologize for the lack of up keep I have performed around here but I promise I will work on bringing more traffic here.
