Why do you guys ("admins") keep sending these "...RX7Club.com wants you back" email messages? I can understand one or two after your "bigger and better then ever...software and server upgrades" but c'mon, there are so many now that I have lost count.

I know I can disable email messages from administrators in my personal settings but I don't because these messages are suppose to be important... Maybe for those occasional server upgrades and website updates.

Another thing, I get the feeling you guys have ambitions to grow this site into something BIG like an AOL of the 90s or the current MySpace with these non-stop email notifications. You have to remember this is a very car specific site. You can only grow so much with the dwindling number of RX7s out there. (I heard there from a friend there's a new 7 coming, but whatever...)

Also, isn't there some kind of statistic out there that people change cars every few years? Have you thought about why people don't come back to this site? Maybe they don't have a RX7 (or rotary) anymore?

I'm a rotary-head-for-life in my heart but unfortunately in real life I don't have the time for one now.

So what's the point of telling people to come back when they don't have a reason to come back? Even with your "bigger and better" community and "upgrades and updates" YOU'RE NOT MYSPACE. (disclaimer; I don't use MySpace or have any affliations with them but it's a good example to make my point of view)

So please stop it. It's not a big nuisance to delete the message, but the thought "why are you doing this" sticks in your head. Makes you wonder who's running the site of your beloved Seven?

(Shoot, where is that head scratching smiley when you need it!)

 

Why not just delete or ignore the emails if you don't care to come back to the forum?

I don't see why this rant deserved it's own thread?

 

Actually, we know and many dislike the people who run the site.

But yeah, just edit your UserCP to either reflect a dummy e-mail address or disable e-mails from admins.

 

probably because of all the people going to rotarycarclub.com maybe they want to try to keep the comunity here in this forum. thats my guess.

 

Don't try guessing again. That's a new forum you speak of, the emails that the OP refers to have been sent out years before.

 

Epic Fail

 

I started getting these emails around summer too, quite pointless. I don't see any changes, I'd like to not disable getting emails from here as what if theres something important sent?

 

In your personal settings here, turn off the setting that allows you to get email from admins and moderators. That will solve the issue.

See, make sure that box is not checked...

Not rocket science... not getting why the OP is having a cow over such as simple thing...

 

or you could just cancel your account and stay away.

 

It's a free forum with the option to opt out of email notifications so don't see a problem.

 

Man, do I feel sorry for the guy that has to send all those notifications out.

 

The computer must be overheating.
