In my opinion the actual site needs to be promoted to be more important than the forum. I presume I'm not the only one. I think that it should be developed into a site with the forum being a secondary part of it. It would mean a massive reworking but there are many pages that could be added to make the site much better for non-forum users and generally improve the whole club's appearance and repuatation.
Possible Sections:
Gallery (events, cruises etc scrapping the cheap vBulletin built in galleries)
How To Guides (get rid of the "member's only" articles)
History & Development of the Punto (tech info, info on mk3 etc)
User Cars (Do profiles of the nicest/most impressive cars, Plummer, Chris Ronchetti, paul75sx etc)
Shop
Please post what sections you would like to see, I'm sure it'll be a help for Chris!

Hmm sort of, personally I don't use or like flash (due to incompatability with lots of school/college/work networks). But in a way yes, more content rather than forum based.
I agree with you bummer. IMO, this is a forum with a club along with it. It doesnt promote the club side of things enough.
When i 'joined' a couple of years ago, it took me a while to realise it was actually a Punto car club which happened to have a forum.
changes are being made all the time.
some things cannot happen over night.
1997 Fiat Punto GT Abarth - being restored
2014 Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake
are any of you willing to write these pages for inclusion?
