Personally, I don't see the big deal everyone is making of the "chartered member" status...
People bragging that they are a lower number than another person, etc...
I'm here for the car. Not a special member status on a forum. If a formal "club" gets organized, I will be a big part of it... and if it never happens, I'll start a club locally myself.
Why would you want a special forum for "chartered members" only? I do not understand...

BullishZ,
No flame planned here. I have no ax to grind. In response to you're question, the purpose of charter membership is to form a group of people to direct the development of the forum,and any future club, in a democratic manner.Those who are intrested may contribute their opinions, time, effort, and money to the cause. Participation is optional. It is simply a choice one makes as to their level of involvement. Obviously, there must be a limit to any governing,or decision making body, hence a limit of 50 charter members. Personally, while I will not be bragging about my involvement, I am both excited and proud to be involved. For what it is worth, I consider you a regular here because of you're level of participation, not you're membership status.I hope this serves as a point of clarification.
Looking forward to a great time in my Z.....

It's also good that you guys will sorta "lead" this forum... but I think more often than not, the "charter" members are only in it for the exclusivity.
I don't see the point in that.
Oh well... to each their own. If being a charter member floats your boat, I won't argue with that.

2003Z... not sure why you don't see it anymore, I'll look into it. Are any of the other Charter Members having this issue? I can see it and Westpak posted recently there (this afternoon) so I know others see it... at least some of them.
What the bog deal is I guess, in my opinion is that it shows those people have helped with the site financially. The site costs money to run, and with the Z gaining more exposure, the site expenses were rising. When you have people contributing as they have, it makes it easier to run.
Thus, they have access to a seperate forum and also shape the way things go down around here.
The car club, will definately be formed. I haven't mentioned it in the past week because I am looking into the legalities regarding Nissan etc. Just making sure nobody would get cranky with us. haha
So in closing, being a chartered member is special, but it's not for everyone.

Tim,
Thanks for the nice comments regarding the site, that goes to the others that like my350z.com as well. However, Tim, one thing.... my wife can't stop laughing over that "Jay is still the man" line.
hahahahaha
Now she's walking around going, honey, you da man. Then she laughs.
I'm not sure but I sense an *** kicking coming her way.
haha
back to watching my Wings... 1-1 in overtime against DC's Avs.

HaHaHa...I like that..."chartered flame". Seriously though, Bullish, you got it all wrong...there's no attitude involved with the charter members...I'm one because i donated money to help out with the site, I didn't know that would be the result. You are as much a part of this site as anyone. Believe me, there's nothing going on in the charter section anyway. Two threads...that's it. Because this is where everyone hangs out. This is the site. I think Jay has done a very smart thing...he saw what the site was becoming (a great, relatively flame-free place to talk about things Z) and he's forming a committee of people who care about the site to keep it that way. That's all. The club will be for everyone. So far the only responsibility of the charter members is to make sure (as a group) that this site stays as great as it is. Jay is still the man, he's just humble enough to want a second opinion from the people who truly want help make this place all it can be.

Sorry for mistaking.
