Official Website Launch

It's Here

MAZOC.NET Website Launch

All, I’m proud to announce that we finally have an official website. After creating the group almost four years ago I’ve watched it grow from a small group of 370Z owners to a much larger group of past and present 370Z owners, their families, and their friends. As a result of our growth over the years I decided it was finally time to make our club a little more official by giving us our own identity on the web.

Those of you that have known me for a while and helped out with club activities know that I am not fond of excessive structure. I believe it takes the fun out of what we do and have always been hesitant to add more beyond what we have on the forum. However, with growth, some structure is necessary, and it comes in the form of a membership registry.

Membership Registry

The biggest change coming with the new website is a brand new membership structure. All current MAZOC members are asked to complete the Membership Application on the “Membership” page of the website. I want to stress that the information you provide will NOT be shared with any third party -- it will be kept private and secure.

After a couple weeks to give everyone time to register, I will assign all members a membership number based on the order in which all members joined the forum. This will be the most effective way to approximate the seniority of MAZOC members. Those who joined the forum earlier will have lower membership numbers, and those that joined later will have higher numbers. Once membership numbers have been assigned I will mail you an Official Membership Card with your name and membership number on the back. The cards are currently in print, so as long as they arrive as I expect there should be no delay in getting them out once the initial registration period ends.

Why a Membership Card? Well, these are necessary to prove your membership in order to receive your vendor discounts. I am currently working with a number of local vendors to secure discounts on parts and services for our club members. There will be more details on this at a future date.

Once we have all of our current members registered, I would like to maintain a public list of members and their vehicles on the website. Each with their own spotlight profile page. This is something that will come later.

Members will also receive the current password to any password protected pages.

General Content

The website will be updated to include recaps of meets with photos/video, details on upcoming meets, and eventually detailed features on member cars. As it sits right now, there are a number of "filler" posts to occupy the rotating header image.

Event Calendar

So that no one has to ask “where is the meet this weekend?” ever again, we now have a calendar available in the “Events” menu on the website. All weekly meets and special events will be found on this calendar.

Rules

I did have to create some official rules for the group. As you can see, they are very simple.

Forum

When posting a new thread on the forum, if it is MAZOC related, I ask that everyone please tag the thread [MAZOC] for easy identification.
