Sub-Forums are about to change

I'm currently changing the Sub-Forums. I hope this will make our club easier to use and information will be easier to get to.

The following charges are:

Sub-Forum:​ Forza Racing Events and Information area

Sub-Forum:​ Gran Turismo Racing Events and Information area

Sub-Forum:​ Tuning, Painting, & Race craft

All the topics that are currently in the Gran Turismo Information and Discussion Area will be moved to the main forum area.

All Sticks will also be moved to the main Forum area.

It is pretty obvious that the Forza side is in decline but we will be doing a fresh set of recruitment for Forza and GT6.

Also I'm looking to branch our club out in to new racing games and I would eventually like to see us as a club not tied to one game.

In light of this I propose to change the club name slightly.

I think it may be best to have our main club called 2Old2Drive. Under this main heading we will have different club names for each respective games we all play.

EG

Forza = 2Old4Forza

GT = 2Old4GT

​P Cars = 2Old2Pcars

etc etc

This way I think recruitment will be a lot easier for games other than Forza. We can tell new guys to check 2Old2Drive out where you will find 2Old4GT etc etc

As this is a pretty major thing I want anyone who cares to vote on this. So post yes or no below.

If the majority is Yes we change the club name to 2Old2Drive with the respective mini clubs under this main banner.

If no the name stays as is.

Closing ends on the 26th January.

Cheers

Bed time.

I hope everyone sees that this is for the best. The world of online racing is changing and we need to.

Cheers

I think we should merge with 2Old2Race and use that name for the entire club.  We then can break the forums down by racing game, 2Old4Forza, 2Old4GT, 2Old4iRacing, etc.

That is semantics.  The bottom line is that the overall name 2Old4Forza no longer fits, and there is no point in having two separate sim racing groups, one called 2Old2Drive and another called 2Old2Race.  Lets merge both groups and call them 2Old2Race.

I'm not talking semantics. I'm talking about losing all the threads and posts.

Is there away just to copy and paste the little info we currently have over at 202R and just make 1 PC sub forum with the 5 games and delete the rest?   There's really not much over there worth keeping except the sticky stuff and even some of it is outdated.  I'd prefer the 202R name to represent this club as it seems fitting.  In all honesty a majority of guys that do dabble in PC sims are most likely already a member of Gbr and can get there PC info there and they have far more series going on there, I don't even think there is a current series running at 202R since I returned to console racing.

Hmm...Kurupt we are starting up again in Feb with a new series, also the PC forum was first set up to be a forum rather than a league. We chose to be separate because of the response to posts about PC racing here. "Let them merge with us" Kinda tells it's own story, there is no them and us, a merge is just a merge. The reason we have stuff in the PC division hanging around that needs deleting is because the tools to do that do not work, I have tried to get that sorted to no avail.

Bottom line is if we merge the small PC racing group will just get lost, you want our name there is feck all I can do about it, you want to absorbed us...feck all I can do about it.

I see no advantage for us, just getting swamped by the larger console racing community. Ah maybe it's just because I haven't had my morning cuppa and that makes Kight a grumpy fecker, but I remember why we set up separately, we were not wanted here, Now you want 2O2R so now you do...How about 2O4R? Seems a more natural progression and leaves the status quo.

Yeah I was to keep the console and pc stuff separate. Reason been version 4 of this site will be launched soon with pc gaming and console gaming to be separated.

It's also a big reason why we need to make changes. To keep it all together but easier.

Yeah sorry my post came over more grumpy than I intended, but the sentiments hold. Sure we are small, and you and Kurupt going back to console has not helped, but Rome was not built in a day. It seems a fact of life that PC is PC and Console is Console, and few straddle both worlds, and nothing kicks off a flame war faster the one daring to critic the other.

Anyhoo whatever just my 2c what will be will be.

I kinda like 2o4r ? It's wide open and still alludes to 2o4f? Allows 2o4f to still exist as well as all the new versions proposed and doesn't upset 2o2r?

After talking to Max last night if this trend continues there won't be any point in hosting events. When that happens the people who have Forza 5 and only 4 will find a new home then we basically become 2Old4GT. Personally I don't want this to happen but something needs to change and soon.

This is a forum for a racing game, not a racing game. Success of a forum depends on traffic to the forum, not how many participants we had in a particular race on a particular system. I guess in all the excitement with the new Gran Turismo, folks forgot that this was a fucking Forza forum...I seem to remember voting no on the inclusion of GT to the forum. The biggest problem I see is that we have marginalized our efforts with Forza and concentrated on GT, and are now left with no focus on Forza events. This is a Forza forum, if you want to play GT or be 2old2drive, then go do that shit somewhere else....this is the home of Forza. You need to find a new home, amigo...not us. We're already home.
