Who cares about a logo or a domain? All that matters is content. I could have a single page up and running in ten minutes, but what is the point? We can search the forum using key words to find stuff that we are interested in that has been covered before, that will not be something that is on a website for a while as it will need to build up its content first (presumably by copying info from this forum).
Its our saving grace that we are not easy to find on Google. Once we are, this forum will be strewn with nonsense from everyone who is looking for anything related to LT, which if you search ebay comes up with lots of things before the search is narrowed to commercial vehicles.
I've been there and done this and it always fragments when the focus is remove from a single point.
The most important point of all, is this forum is totally democratic. A website would be administered by one person or a few people and what appears would be up to them and not us all.
I'm sorry, but I just do not see the point.

yeh bro im with you on that, im happy with what iv found on here. we can still organise meets, swap ideas, and chat. So a web site aint going to change it for me. Meets would could be a better use of our time maybe...but then how do we let people know about them other than the ones on here... oh im in over my head here, to much to think about. ill just go with the flow

I've just been waiting for a few more ideas to roll in and also don't want people to feel I'm trying to take over. Fortunately people are offering to do 'stuff' which is great. Say end of the week and I'll pick through posts and replies and work out a list of 'to dos' if that's ok with people? Leigh..... |

Hee - oh yeah - got all stuff together - just had mad couple of weeks including the end of my degree study this year which sadly went down the pan.
 Hope to get some kind of website, etc, together over the next few weeks - which is especially handy as it's school half term. Leigh.... |

Hello all,
i'd like to quote, "I'm also going to contact the old President of the VW LT Motorhome Club"
I'm Sam, Gazz292's girlfriend, (owner of the Kampenwagen :)
Gazz used to own a VW LT years ago before he decided to build the kampenwagen,
(she's built now and we've been all around europe)
Just to let you know, Graham & Thelma (they ran the VWLT Motorhome club practicly!) they we're great! and we had alot of fun going to meets. we last went to a meet in 2005, before me and Gary started going over to europe every year.
anyway Graham and Thelma sold there house up north in carnforth? and moved over to france, as they had a house build for them.
so they should still be living in france somewhere, they did send me and gary a letter saying where, but we have moved house since then, and have missed placed it.. it had there address on! doh!
so there old address in england is no longer correct.
me and Gary are back in england now, have been for a year.. and havent been to an LT club meet. :( we might go to one next year?
as the last i heard Ian and Jean McCartney (and Kelly the dog) were running the club, i've got there address if you don't have it.
they live in Carnforth, lancs, if you want to search on google for them :)
I wonder how they all are? i'd love to know.. we loved the LT club.

Hi Sam.
Glad to hear you and Gaz are ok! I know about the club as I was a member but it had now sadly closed - Ian and Jean are still in Carnforth but outside pressures of life stopped them from running the club after Graham and Thelma passed over the reigns. The last ever newsletter from the club told us of its closure but left no way of picking things up. I did have contact details myself of members but they seem to no longer be among my LT paperwork - so if it turns up - I'll be in contact with whoever. As for doing something for us LTers here - I've been mega busy with 1001 projects including finding a high school for my daughter and now a college for my son. After trekking around college, an evening web page creating, etc, loses its appeal. If someone has a webtemplate we could use or even you Mike - Mike has the webspace - I can just redirect the www.vw.... address. (Can't redirect the DNS for some reason Mike....sorry). Just a simple homepage pointing people here, for starters, would be better than nothing. We could then do with someone willing to maintain the 'LT' library of documentation, etc. Then things like gallery, etc, can slowly develop. All help appreciated. Leigh.....

Right been meaning to do this for ages but spent a night sorting it out last week. Check out my basic attempt here > http://www.slinkysoftware.com/vwltclub. I know it's not that fancy but it's something to start with and it's easy to manage (Uses joomla CMS). I've already added a classifieds section and there are 101 extensions like galleries etc. that will work.
I'm happy to pay for the hosting as I've got it sitting there doing nothing and plenty of space and bandwidth (1500Gb a month!!) At some point I will prob place a few small banners/google ads, to get a bit of revenue, esp if I need to purchase more bandwidth. Leigh, if you want to re-point/redirect the DNS, PM me and i'll get the details for you. I won't have time to manage it on my own but if there's a few of us... |

Don't worry I hate websites like that myself and if there will be any they'll be really unobtrusive. Anyway I can't really see that it'll use that much bandwidth there's not THAT many of us!  I'm not a designer myself but if anyone wants to do a mock-up i can covert that into a template although the content is more important than look. Anyone have any ideas for sections? I can setup a poll with a few options so we know to what we do first... Mike, fancy being the first admin? Anyone else, just register with the same username as you have done on here and PM me. |
