Well, I've decided to add another forum.

I just bought Welcome to www.oldsonline.com and have been mocking up a new forum (SMF for now, vB maybe later if it takes off well).

Heres the forums so far Olds Online - Oldsmobile Forums - Index

So now I'll have F-Body Online - Camaro and Firebird Forums as well as oldsonline.com . One of the good things about Oldsmobiles is there are only a handful of forums out there for them, and none are up to what I think they should be so hopefully I can change that here soon enough. One has a very large memberbase, but the administration is horrible. The problem is that there aren't as many Oldsmobile enthusiasts out there as many other car brands, but I think it should do well despite that.

This will be my 3rd forum, 2nd "serious" one.

I have a few questions with some planning ideas:

1.) Should I cater to only older Oldsmobiles (mainly mid 1980's and older) or go for all different Oldsmobiles up until 2003 like the Alero and Aurora as well. I really can't decide, but I'm sorta leaning to having all models included but can see both sides of the fence.

2.) How to spread the world of this forum to Oldsmobile enthusiasts without spamming other websites will be tricky, since much of the Oldsmobile crowd is older it's hard to find a good way to market it towards all ages. I do plan on making it a bit more serious than my other sites, to help to increase older (wiser) olds gurus.


Also, if anyone else has any good info or ideas on anything, feel free to blurt them out.

Congrats on the new purchase!

I would maybe cater to the older versions and then if the need arises add the other models.

Well, since you said that the Oldsmobile fan base is small, I personally would open it up to all Olds' fans.

You probably know more about advertising a car forum than I do, so I'm not sure that I have much advice there
