Elections

[Fluidic Digital]

I didn't start this club/forum simply because I owned the "car" -- I started to make new friends, to create a bigger, better community for Calgary's Volkswagen scene and to have FUN -- a trip from everyday things!

Even if I were to buy another car, it's not like I would just delete this forum or whatever, like seriously, talk about smashing the panic button.

Everyone stop overthinking and freaking out and let's get back to our normal day and start having fun again!

See you Thursday! :thumbsup:

amen.

If I might make a suggestion... the whole problem with CVD in is it is comprised mostly of air-cooled guys (who for some reason have something against the water-cooled guys). I think NVD should be dedicated to water cooled dubs.

NOTE: forgive me if the above comment suggests that I have a problem with air-cooled dubs, for that is simply not true. I am a lover of all things dub

yea mike i agree.. when I went to FFH and saw all those old ass cars I was like WTF? no diss to them or anything i just thought it would have been more modern cars.

[Fluidic Digital]

Ryan -- that is such an off-topic post... especially in this thread... their is a reason there is a NewVeeDub and a ClubVeeDub -- the two sites/clubs cater to two different cultures.

I think we should all get off the topic of trying to change the name -- I kinda think it's not going to happen.

nah i like the name.. aslong as dubs come i'm cool

[Mr. Burns]

I dont think the name should change either, I only think that NVD should broaden it's horizons and include Mk 1 thru 5.

couple things...

1. Yes, have a proper 'board' or elected group.

2. Don't change the name, it's a good one and can be explained as 'late model' although that's a really ugly explanation, I think good terms for current cars can be found. The point of the 'new' in newveedub I think, is that we're talking about the most recent modern cars. Until MKV's are well established MKIV's will still be pretty new.

3. I'd suggest regional promotion chairs north america wide. This is how we can both build and improve the club membership. With a continental scale (like vortex) we could get some snappy deals and things happening for the community in general.

[R_Ethug]

worldwide no..... vortex handles that.. do we honestly need 5 threads a day asking which wheels for the car and which CAI is better.. i'm so sick of those i spit on them

On top of that I think someone should pull down this thread because I think it is a full load of crap of hurting people's feeling.

Do not edit as someone promised. I like to say

I don't understand how this thread could hurt anyone's feelings. The reason I posted it was because there have been members who I've talked with who would like to see a more democratic running of this club.

I have never said that Peter has done a crappy job - If anything, he has done a great job getting this club up and running. I just think the club has grown large enough - and has enough members who desire an elected administration - that some changes are in order. That's all.

I agree. I'm down with elections.
