website and rules

[zen]

i have done some website updates including but not limited to:
1. correcting some grammar
2. adding new member profiles
3. converted all profile thumbnails to GL.com usernames instead of real names to make it easier to find someone you know
4. added second member page to house the new member profiles (look for the "more" button on the right just under the thumbnails

AND

after some discussion at Bug Jam, we decided that we should not have the rule on removing body trim. the VKG still wants to ensure a "style" within the club so people know when they are looking at a VKG car and even prefer a smooth look, but we all agree that having trim does not detract from being GL or a VKG car.

we are also having some discussion on truing up the rules to ensure quality cars and club integrity in all VKG cars. we want to make sure all are proud to have a VKG car and that no one is hanging their head when parking next to another VKG car in a show. we know everyone has a build process and differing abilities to complete a car in a timeframe (some are a year, some are 10, some never end), but honestly, we just want to make sure that no one is throwing a set of rims and a steering wheel on a car and calling it a GL car.

we are not sure what structure this will take yet, but it will not be radical rule changes. we just need to build a workable formula to make sure all members have addressed all areas of their cars. your thoughts and opinions are welcome.

stay tuned.
