Suppose I'll chime on this little subject here as well.

I think affiliation could be both a good and a bad thing. The good thing would be increased traffic to the site and hopefully to the forum. However the bad part far outweighs it. I believe if we did this then the sites that we affiliate with, more than likely have a stronger forum than us at the moment, would sap our members away, both new and old. Slowly but surely we would die out. That's my opinion at least. But if they don't have a forum then by all means go for it, that would have absolutely no ill effect on us forum goers at all.

As far as a name change is concerned, I understand Vivi's point completely. People know this place as mfg and a lot would probably stop coming entirely for lack of being able to find it. But if we had a site redirect it would definitely work, but again, as stated by Vivi, the founders would have to pay for both. I'm not sure if they would like to do that, and it would be a lot of work in the first place.

Perhaps they should consider delegating some tasks for site work. I know I can't do it for lack of time and know-how, but there are those out there capable of doing it. Trustworthy people no-doubt. MFG has to change or it will die, that's just a fact of life, if you don't keep up with the times then we'll stagnate and be dead in the water. No one wants that, well most of us don't want that at least.

Also, I haven't seen an admin or founder on for quite sometime. If either comes on and sees this then please return me my mod spot, I've sent pm's to Superior and though he says it isn't a problem, it just seems to be a matter of getting to it. So ya, just get back to me through pm if anyone with the power to do so sees this. Thanks!

Any other ideas on what we can do? This seems like a pretty productive topic so far, so keep the ideas flowing...
