The Question and Answer Board

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

Not really the most ideal day for me to post this, when all of our minds are very pre-occupied with the same subject (and though I think we've collectively got the best ideas, it's unfortunately for naught), but I'll go ahead and post it anyway.

A few days ago my years-long dream finally became reality. Talkzilla.Com. Specifically, Cars.Talkzilla.Com was rolled out on 9/24 to very little fanfare (I posted about it just on a car board on each of our sites) and now that it's largely bug-free, though still considered fully-functional public beta, I'm ready to start seeing a bit more traffic on it to test its load-handling capabilities and get feedback for layout changes while it's still relatively easy to make such changes.

The site is for people like me who absolutely love cars, but also for people who consider them nothing but transportation and might have a question about them. Alternative means of powering them and increasing their economy is also already a hot topic.

In the short time since its quiet rollout, it's gotten over 500 posts and nearly 100 members.

This will be the first of a number of Talkzilla sites. Once it gains serious traction, so to speak, we'll poll membership of all 3 sites to see what our next area should be. From this point on, it'll take very little time and effort to create new Talkzilla sites.

I should point out that the first 1000 accounts on Talkzilla can become Lifetime Premium Memberships on ALL Talkzilla Sites with just a little reading and a single well-directed mouse-click.

So I'd like to extend this invitation to come join me on http://cars.talkzilla.com, which is where I'm spending more of my time currently. No stock talk over there, though, please. That's what iHub and SI are for.

PS. I'm "TZ Bytor" over there, and I and the QA board are automatically added to your Faves when you join.
