S-O-R ~ Scoobie Owners Register.

Well As some of you are aware SWS own a National Site called S-O-R, I closed this down some time ago.

Well it is about to make a Return this weekend.

South West Scoobies, will then become a Regional Division of S-O-R, the same as it was when we were a part of SIDC.

I will close Down SWS and make all the Changes, when we Return your Existing username and password will all work and all existing post's and P.M's will still all be here.

The forum will gain New Events forums for meets throughout the Uk & Ireland.

South West Scoobies, will have it's Own events area and all Meets and Shows will remain the Same, and will still go under the Name South West Scoobies.... All Staff will retain their Positions within SWS... and the SWS Banner will still be used at all the shows.

So what changes will we see?

The Main change will be the style sheet and a few extra forums.

The SWS Style sheet will still be available for members who wish to use it.

Advanced Members will be able to join a Public Group for their region... eg. SWS. this will automaticly display your area's Style sheet... You will also have a SWS Image under your username to show your Support for the SW region. or any other region you are in.

When you purchase Membership, you will be able to request either SWS or S-O-R T-Shirts, and both will be for Sale within the Shop.

As SWS is a Part of S-O-R, all existing Advanced Memberships will still remain Active until their renewal date.

The forums will still be accessible under the www.southwestscoobies.org.uk (http://www.southwestscoobies.org.uk) domain as well as www.s-o-r.co.uk (http://www.s-o-r.co.uk)

At present www.s-o-r.co.uk (http://www.s-o-r.co.uk) is setup as a test forum using a backup of the SWS database, so you may wish to have a look at the forum and get an idea of what it might look like.

As a National Club, we will be looking for other Subaru Clubs to join us and become a part of S-O-R.


I have made this decision after seeing the lack of attendance for Shows this year, and i am hoping that being a larger club we will attract members from further afield to join us at the larger events.


I hope you will all support me in my decision to move the club forward in this way.



Regards
Derek

Just by calling it a National Club doesn't make it National !

With respect you do what you want and stop worrying about what I do

Derek knows my thoughts and I won't blow smoke up his **** if I don't agree

I stated a point and wished him good luck

Now run along and enjoy the Skyline forums

I was a member of this forum for over a year without ever driving a scooby let alone owning one, purely because I was an enthusiast. You don't have to leave just because you don't own a scoob. :smile:

Good luck with it all Derek :biggrin:

in my opinion no car club can call itsself NATIONAL UNLESS OF COURSE it has members from all 4 corners of the country
scooby net has members from all over europe they dont call themselves a european club

Good point but you have to start somewhere!!!!!!!!!!!

I know of members from all parts of the country who wanted to get more involved BUT as we are only SWS it was not possible THEN :tongue:

Says in the original post that it will still be accessable through the sws address, doesnt say how long for so i would presume until new splat cards are issued?

good luck with this derek i just hope gbscoobies does not get forgotten as i have a good little number of people getting involved now as you can see if you look on the london tunnel run thread... i cant help thinking my time and effort might have been wasted if this is the case.. it has been hard work and i have come under a bit of fire from another club in the area being the pink shirt brigade !!!!
obviously i would help get the name of the new site out and about in the essex area if you needed me to but i think i will put the full car wrap for gbscoobies on hold for the time being
Best of luck Neil

the Southwestscoobies domain names will always remain.. this will not be changed, as SWS is a regional division.

So all the Splat cards and Web URL's stand.
