I'll send $5 to the first Officer from 2017-2018 that responds to this thread

Just an opinion from an older alumni that joined before the forums were created and one all the members and a lot of the alumni don't know:

If the student members of MM are hanging out and having fun together, keeping the spirit of motorsports alive within the JMU community (which extends outside the school's limits), and are representing themselves to be responsible people then great; that's what's supposed to happen and something each alumni hopes for. The forums were created at a time when it was a peak technology in online social spaces (early 2000s). The site has developed a lot since then (looks great, btw), but it's still a relative archaic form of social media. It's been almost 20 years since then (almost older than the current student members themselves); I'm sure other methods have developed for students to better communicate.

Whatever method is used by the students to best communicate with themselves to keep that motorsports fire alive, the better (even if the alumni are left out of the loop a bit). If the alumni are included in that communication even better since I feel the alumni support is great in this club. The officers are there for a reason and I have no idea if we're giving them enough credit, but it's primarily they're club.

I was never an officer, but I know it must've taken a shit-load of work on top of school and other responsibilities and fun activities to organize events for MM.

I'm looking forward to meeting more members and reconnecting with one's I've met.
