if we all contribute 1$. There are 5000+ members, make the math. We can have a certificate of Support like one of our pics in our profiles..



Just a sample...

I would like a links section for parts lookup. I have a coupe and there are so few things you can buy, im having a blast googling on the web and not finding anything. We have parts links and how to's in our website but everything is scattered in too many forums. Why not everything in one place, for easy search, and we can submit links for things that we find that are rare and special. Ive seen a couple of this around. And if this idea has already been posted, im sorry i did my best hovering all the 40 + posts. Anyway I love this site. As you can see I posted my car in the general discussion >>with 6gc stckers>>. Im hoping to atract other cars in the area.......

Best wishes!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work..... give me the address to donate my 1$ (paypal)

I think a sort feature by bodykit would be awesome. You could see combinations of body pieces would look good together from different angles. Obviously it would take a big effort from members, but I'm sure a ton of members would participate.

That would be pretty cool, like list all the body parts u got on the car, and then you could like search for a car that has all the parts that you would want to put on ur car.



+1 on the paypal, just give the address coomer

Like many have said, tell us where to donate and we will!

On a motorcycle thread i used to frequent, they had a sticky on the top with basic donation information, that could be a start?

I like the idea of having a little thing to signify that you donate etc..


what about putting the EPC on here? we could save dustin from having a flooded inbox

Is there anyway to search member rides section if you only have part of the username?

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Erik, yes you can. Just enter part of a username in the search box.

I'm beginning to get burnt-out/discouraged though. Developing a website this large from the ground up takes forever, and most of what I've done up to this point is simply replicating what's already been done, which is very boring.

I'm just tired of developing the site. I took a break for a couple weeks where I worked on other projects but I just can't get back into wanting to develop the site. I just need to get over the hurdle of replicating everything...then i can get to the fun, new, innovative stuff...seems like it's going to take forever though.

Edit: I'm just overly stressed I think. I went for a drive through some country roads and I'm feeling better already. I'm gonna quit re-writing stuff for the night, and start coding some brand new stuff...that always makes me happy.

a quick suggestion, could we break down the FS sections?? Like have 2 sections, one for cars and one for parts?? that way if some one is looking to buy just a car it makes it easier for them to not have to go through pages of FSs or WTBs, they can just click parts or click cars. I just think it would make things easier and make transactions flow a little better.

I don't think it's necessary to split up the forum at this point. The cars forum wouldn't be all that busy.

I've been making good progress this week. I've decided that I'm going to implement the new backend architecture that I've been developing first, with minimal new features. Then I'll add features one-by-one. I really want to get the new architecture up and running, so hopefully that will happen within a couple weeks.

i think we should be able to donate and then receive things like a larger inbox or more pictures in return. i know im not even very active and my inbox gets full a lot, i couldnt imagine what more popular or busy people go through.

I will probably incorporate something like that into the site after the new site architecture is online.

Isn't it possible for you to work together with a fellow 6GC member or anyone else who has experience with this. Would make the work go faster. You will decide the layout and all, but all the coding stuff can be done together.

And about donating money. Just ask and I'll donate Would have been nowhere if 6GC wouldn't exist, regarding car technology,

I'm sure I could, but when it comes to a big project like this, I wouldn't trust anyone besides myself to code the site. One missed function call or missing semicolon could allow an attacker to bring down the entire site.

Hey coomer, when will you add more stickies or more tech info in the forums...to be honest i troll the forums everyday, and too often are the same questions asked that have been answered, and too often have there been many unanswered questions about changes or improvements that can be made to celica...such as, head swapping, bodykits (which was just brought up earlier), write-ups on general info for car maintenance that isnt just "linked" (since some links tend to die ). Anywho, just my two cents, and btw, you have an awesome site bro, that gets the attention of alot of ppl from different countries...maybe you can make this site more friendly to them with info that is just as specific to their cars as it is our american celi's

There's a line at which we need to draw the line. We already have several links within stickies, but will always consider adding more threads if they're good. We can't link to every thread in the forums though...would kind of ruin the point.

And I agree...information shouldn't be specific just to American Celis. We try hard to make information not specific to US Celicas, and I'm re-working several parts of the site to hopefully help make information more general.

Also, to give you guys an update on the site rewrite status, I'm finally making good progress again. I got the parts database finished up, and it's going to be better than before, with more features coming after the launch. I'm working on the "Manage Your Account" section now, and it too will be nicer than before.

I think I'm actually more excited about the redesign than everyone else. It's not going to look a whole lot different and there will be minimal new features, but the backend is soooo much nicer. Now that the core functionality, classes, libraries, and models are done, development goes so quickly.

This morning I was able to get the add photo and add high-res photo forms done, as well as getting the remove photos functionality working.

I'm bored and taking a quick break from coding, so here's a list of some of the new features that are already done.

• Better member profile URLs
• Better add photo form
• Ability to remove high-res photos (with some neat unobtrusive JavaScript effects)
• Ability to add parts and add part photos (I'm hoping people with parts on their cars will begin adding photos of parts once the site is re-launched.
• Improved part detail pages
• Improved control panel overview page
• Multimedia forum (actually online already)

I'm sticking with PHP/MySQL/XHTML/CSS/JavaScript. ASP.NET is nice in some respects, but I much prefer PHP.

Exactly what I would do.

I use Asp.Net at my part-time job, where I'm creating a business 2 business content management system. (On my own, I share your opinion about splitting tasks between different programmers.)
Asp.Net results in big slow applications, and requires Windows servers (which are also resource unfriendly), and development is too many times delayed by cryptic error messages.

This is why, when I work on projects of my own company, I only work with PHP (using object-oriented programming) & MySQL, and all in valid xhtml and css (layout & functionality neatly separated). And off course JavaScript where usefull but not for basic functionality off the site.

I'm looking forward to the new features, and I hope to pick up some new ideas for future projects.

I haven't made a ton of progress in the last few days, as I've been busy with graduation and lots of other work. Tonight I plan to get a fair amount done though.

I went ahead and made part of my 6GC To-Do list public, so you can view it at http://todo.cisforcoomer.com/list/6gc and see updates as I go along.

I'm hoping that within the next couple weeks I'll be able to put the new architecture online.

It's getting pretty close now. All of the old functionality is now replicated and there are just a couple dozen things left to do before it's ready.

Today sucks.

My development machine died completely. Hopefully I can recover the newest work I've done on 6GC...otherwise I have to revert to a backup from a week ago (and I got a lot done in the last week).

But even if I do, I have no computer to develop on, at least not for now.

Edit: Got the important 6GC data off of the hard drive. That's what I was most worried about. Now I just need a computer to develop on.

I think it's illegal to host the manual online (copyrighted material), but I'll look into it.
