Had a few ideas cross my mind for suggestions for this site...
1. Engine of the month. It would be nice to showcase some of the members work by member vote. Engine of the month might be too much of PITA to do, but we could do Engine of the Quarter?
2. Book and video reviews? How about a forum for book and video reviews? For instance, I am waiting on "Two Shop Masters"... I will write a review when it comes in.
Any thoughts?

great ideas, they could be used as portal inks to include pictures, video and external links much like Our member map..
It would take a skilled person to do it up real nice but anyone who want to try I can help them.
Much like out member map is just some cut and paste code like this..
Code:
<font face="Arial">
<div><embed align="9" src="[url]http://www.frappr.com/ajax/yvmap.swf"[/url] width="500" height="300" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" scale="noscale" loop="loop" menu="menu" wmode="Window" quality="high"></embed>
<div style="WIDTH: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><a target="_blank" href="[url]http://visitor.frappr.com/?sig=visitor_map&src_mvid=137440089282&origin=myspace"><img[/url] border="0" alt="" src="[url]http://frappr.com/i/gyo.gif"[/url] /></a><a target="_blank" href="[url]http://www.frappr.com/?a=constellation_map&mapid=137440031084&src=flash_map&sig=visitor_map&src_mvid=137440089282&origin=myspace&ct=seemore"><img[/url] border="0" alt="" src="[url]http://frappr.com/i/s.gif"[/url] /></a><a target="_blank" href="[url]http://www.frappr.com/?a=constellation_map&mapid=137440031084&src=flash_map&sig=visitor_map&src_mvid=137440089282&origin=myspace&ct=pendingpins"><img[/url] border="0" alt="" src="[url]http://frappr.com/dyn_map/137440031084/origin:myspace/p.gif"[/url] /></a><a target="_blank" href="[url]http://www.frappr.com/?a=feedback&type=vm"><img[/url] border="0" alt="" src="[url]http://frappr.com/i/h.gif"[/url] /></a></div>
</div>
</font>
It would just be nice to have others who like to code, Im sure we have them but its a matter of if they want to. if thats too much them we could just sticky a great post and rename it it the pictures and video section for the month and keep it simple. (probably best for now)
I like any ideas folks have. I do like a engine of the month and the book reviews, It would be worth making it a site feature above and beyond just a thread.
This time of year its cold so Im not building much in the shop unless they have parts for trade or bring beer and cash. ;D
I even thought of a Member of the month and showcase thier work but then I would like to do it up right and then there would be an archive link in the side bar for them so members could look back and see what was done in months past.
Many things to think about, lets just see what the membership thinks and then we can run with it.
