2022-01-10 19:30 | Formik when you add a Top 10, please make sure that you are linking the correct cars. For example: Top 10 USA, link the Honda Civic that is sold on the American market, not the one that is sold on the European market. And for Germany, link the European Volkswagen, not the Chinese market one. -- Last edit: 2022-01-10 19:31:15 | |

I think WCS is unique because it combines technical data with a better visual representation (most technical data websites are just walls of text and numbers).

The other data (other than trunk volume) in my opinion is important. Maybe we could do a different layout, so if you look at an engine, the data is more clear? - Ads being deleted is fine. - I don't personally care about colors and model cars, so do whatever you want. Limited series to me is not as interesting as trim differences, like I have explained in the past. We can keep it as is, expand it, or simplify it. To me what matters is having more slots for pictures, so you can show different looks of a car without having to make a new page for it. - Top 10 is difficult. I like it, but the data is difficult to obtain, unless you are from that particular country/speak the language of that country. There are websites that gather all the data for different countries, but you have to pay in order to get the data. This is why I added a lot of this data in the past, but not anymore. Yes perhaps a different layout for technical data | |

2019-04-12 23:17 | Rinspeed wrote For championships, i think we have some rules to change: What are the most important championships we have to do? Explications: Most Important International Championships: All the cars (except if there is an amount of cars like WRC) listed Others International Championships + Continental Championships: Only Cars with points listed and at least 5 cars in the championship? National Championships: 20 better cars in the championship (except if it's a championship with 20/30 cars) and at least 10 cars in the championship? 2 reasons for this: a lot of subcategories for a lot of championships that aren't very useful and doing a long list in the search list. Second reason; a lot of pics in national championships (cars > 20 positions) without pics. I said also a logo for the championships but why not also add resume video from youtube also like we had do for advertising in cars page? Your opinions (specially Mark0 and Ford78 that used a lot the championships)? Adding a logo for the championships would be good for my opinion. .gif ":)") Well, in my opinion, if about 10-20 cars in the championship, then that would be good for me. | |

I still think it's interesting though. > Car Spotting - Seems like nobody does this anymore, it might be more interesting to put images on IGCD Discord. > Upcoming Cars - Would be nice to have an overview of the cars in this category. That way we can see if there are "upcoming cars" that are already for sale, as well as look at the cars that are going to be coming in the future. > Colors - Not interesting to me and it's an absurd amount of work. > Limited Series - Same as colors. Time spent on this could be spent adding new cars to the website. > Advertising videos - Fun, although I don't really watch any > Model cars - Not interesting to me > System of translation - Hard to implement. Random members translating the website can make mistakes, and it's not always clear what something means. The website could be more accessible if we had Chinese, Japanese, Russian, etc., but I don't think it's possible to have these languages. Also: If you translate the website into another language, it encourages people to comment in a different language > communication between members becomes more difficult. > System of points members - It's easy to say as the person with the most points, but I don't really care for it. Originally it was used to see whether someone could be an admin or not, but I think we can tell by how much work someone does, and whether they do good work. | |

2018-06-03 09:10 | Desscythe17 wrote I see, well if there is a problem with too many requests from the database, it looks like a lot of requests go to updating points. I personally don't really care about points (don't know about other members), and I think we don't really need them to judge whether a member can be an admin or not. So if it would be better for the database, points can be deleted entirely in my opinion. I also don't know if it helps at all, but the page you get saying "Car/engine/location/whatever added successfully." doesn't seem necessary for me. If you add an engine for example and then immediately return to the car page, that works fine. It would even save time I think. I don't know if that has any impact on database requests though.
