With 100,000+ visits from G enthusiasts in 112 countries just in the first half of this year, the rate at which we are growing is ramping up quite a bit. I'm still waiting on Antarctica to get their act together and join, but we have the rest of the planet very well covered.
To add to this, during one of my regular server health checks the other day, I noticed that we were down to less than 2G of free disk space. After some quick juggling of backups and shuffling some data around, we're good for the moment, however the time has come to level up our hosting.
Over the next couple weeks I will be setting up a higher spec (double our current capacity) server to host the site. There shouldn't be much (if any) interruption right up until transition. I have not set a time/date for that to happen, but will try to make an announcement at least 24 hours prior.
Along with the increased capacity comes increased capabilities, and I would like us to leverage that to its fullest. What we need from you is content:
- General/social: Storytime about camping with your G, meeting other G drivers, buying your G, etc..
- Howto/DIY: Changing your oil, brakes, or engine? Take a lot of pics and write it up!
- Product reviews: Everything, recovery equipment, camping supplies, fluids, tires, and more. If you use it on, in, or around your G, tell us about it.
- Events: Races, treffens, cars and coffee, impromptu BBQs, or any other soiree where someone shows up in a G.
- Other: You tell us. What do you want to read about?
I'll be kitting us out with the standard car-scene swag shop to help support the site (this isn't getting any cheaper), so if you have recommendations about what ClubG merchandise you'd like to adorn yourself, your shop, your pets, or your G with, let us know.
Keep the shiny side up.
