A few posts of late have ignited my belief that there is a wealth of writing talent out there amongst those into the retro scene. This led me to search for user generated sites and blogs but there isn't much about.
As it happened an ad for a site popped up whilst streaming a show last night.
It's at theroar.com.au
This is what it's about...
"The Roar is Australia’s leading sports opinion website, combining expert columnists with edited fan-written sports articles.
We focus on sports opinion, not news, which is already well done. Each month The Roar publishes around 400 fan articles and about 30,000 comments to about half a million visitors."
Mags like retrocars can only feature so much in its pages per month but think of the possibilities on the internet. A constant stream of opinion and images from around the world and possibly a few additional pieces from established writers.
I don't think it would detract from forums such as retrorides or the ones for single makes. It would simply be a place where interesting articles could look more professionally laid out.
Write ups of meetups, shows, builds, buys, searches, look backs, road trips, rallies and discoveries featuring all makes under the sun, ala retrorides, would be welcome and only constructive comment allowed.
There would obviously be a quality threshold using professional editors and of course video content would be encouraged.
The amount of interest world wide for this almost never ending and eclectic mix of passions of ours is a perfect match for the internet where user generated content is about to go into the stratosphere.
Anyone know an investment guru that might want to back me to get this baby off the ground?
