[DMCForum] Re: Forum stratagies?

[<erikgeerdink@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is a tough one.  Everyone here needs to contribute in some way 
or another.  Here's the thing, we want to go public, but we don't 
have much content.  But how do you get content?  people have to know 
about the site.  So, the more we can contribute now, the better it 
will be.  All of us here, i'm sure, can add something to the page.  
I'm working on documenting the crashed car I have right now.  I'm 
sure people would like to know how their car will handle a 45 mph 
crash to the front passenger corner.
