How's The Site Thus Far?

I feel as though the key to this site's success is consistent, and constant new articles. Whether it's @Ryan doing a rendering and just spit-balling some rumour-mill stuff, @Mike V. doing an article with some "insider" information, @redriderbob with spy photos, etc. Fresh content day in and day out I think will be what takes this site to the next level.

It doesn't help that a lot of the current FCA things are not so sexy, when looking at the brand objectively.

I have been trying to do at least 2 to 4 articles Monday through Friday.

Oh, I wasn't criticizing, actually I was saying more of a "keep on keeping on" . AllPar's major downfall was that articles rarely came out, especially speculation pieces which will always garner the most interest. Look at @Ryan and @Mike V. 'S article on the Durango. Thing had 2,000 views within an hour it seemed. People love reading about cool "what-if" cars.

I didn’t do any of the writing in that article. Only the picture!

I didn't think that. Just been trying to get at least 2 to 4 articles... so there is always fresh content on the site when people check back in throughout the day. Even if it just small news.
 
Was over at another site. @redriderbob thank you for all you do and @Mike V. Thank you too. I can see why you guys could get disgruntled, but thank you @Jared B for giving us a new place to read these articles with the help from the other staff members who are getting this forum rolling.

I have been checking the interwebs for news this morning and the staff here and 5th Gen Rams nailed it.

Keep up the good work. Wish I had something to give for ideas or constructive criticism, but you guys nailed it.
 
I've been lurking on and off - the articles have been great! I too like the alert feature.
 
Thanks @dreinecke we still have some bugs to work out but it is going good. Jared and I are having an issue with the host company about the server. This morning we broke the news about the Charger Scat Pack for 2019 and the server crashed due to too much capacity on the site. We are looking at changing the server so the site would run smoother and we can keep everyone more up to date with the latest information.

Glad to see we’re getting that traffic though!

Yeah, this site is actually only just over a month old and its further ahead than what 5thGenRams was at the same point. We will probably still be working on bugs from here or there, thats why we are extremely happy with all the feedback you all can give us.
 
I don't know if it was purposely placed there, but there is an ad placed above the YouTube channel and members online boxes on the right side of the page that makes it so that you have to scroll down a bit to see useful information. Right now it is appearing as a large blank space above the YouTube channel box, but I've seen an ad there before... If this was done on purpose, I am fine with it. But I would also be on board with the idea of having subscription options for those who'd wish to support the site.

It was placed there but I'm considering moving it as it does interfere a little bit with the operation as you've said and my main goal for the few ads we do display is not to have them interfere with the site operation.

I am all for the subscription idea, there are some logistical issues with it though. It's easy to make it not show ads to subscribed members in the forums but I need to find a way to make it so they don't show on the main site as well.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd personally be fine with ads being removed from the forums but not the main site in a subscription package. There could be additional incentives to purchase the subscription options as well aside from just the ad removal.

Let me see what I can do, I think I can make it so they don't show on the main site as well.
