QOTD: What Do YOU Want To See As Part Of A TTAC Forum?
For the past little while, we’ve been working on a new project expressly for our readers: a TTAC forum. And we want your input to help shape it.
The comments section of TTAC is unquestionably as important as the articles themselves, and the discussions within it help shape our editorial direction. At the same time, we know that carrying on discussions can be a bit cumbersome, and starting new topics is not possible at all.
With that in mind, we are working on a forum that will allow the Best & Brightest to start and maintain discussions on topics of their choosing. We are currently wrestling with a couple issues, namely, allowing registered commenters to use the forum with their current usernames and without having to re-register for the forum. The second matter is “what kinds of sub-forums should we create?”. This is where you come in. So far, I have a few ideas, namely
- Suggest A Story (to give readers a say in stories that they’d like to see covered)
- New and Future Product Discussion
- Industry Discussion
- Reader Rides and Project Cars
- Used Car Discussion (for all things used cars, be it purchasing, maintenance, insurance, selling)
- Classic and Collector Car Discussion
These are just a starting point as far as we’re concerned. Let us know what you’d like to see or what you’d like to stay away from. After all, this is your forum.

Prohibit signatures that appear at the end of users' posts. Or at least have them excluded from the search function and reduce the noise. People put identifying info in there like their make/model of car, and if you want to search on that car, you get a bunch of useless hits with that users posts because of the signature.
What do I want? Sexy dames, and plenty of them.
You must have a "Because Miata" section. Because Miata.
I would like to see something like the format SBNation uses. It allows for the serious posts, with comments from the peanut gallery, and then lets us peanuts add our own articles as well. Just disallow posting of pictures (links work better as we can choose to open them) and I think something like that could be great.
