Welcome to OPC!
Written By: Ynohtna - OPC Web Admin.
As it should be pretty obvious to most of you by now, OPC stands for the Ottawa Prelude Club. Here in the capital city of Canada, Ottawa, we have a dedicated group of enthusiasts who value all things Honda Prelude and any vehicles worthy of salivation.
OPC has a long history in the online world and I like to pay tribute to those times with a piece from the old site. The logo in this article is from that site sometime ago before my time here. The face lift for this site started on March 18th, 2007 and began with a transition to new forum and portal software. With the quality of open source products now, it was a no brainer to transition to something just a bit more user friendly and gives us a fresh and more modern look.
We're quite friendly here and you're more than welcome to browse our expansive database for information. Sign-up, it's free, to chat with other members, ask questions, share your ideas, buy/sell items and etc. It's an open door cause it's the Canadian Way! eh! *groan* I know.... 
First, I need to make it clear that by no means did I make this site from the ground up. I did a lot of research in terms of deciding what software was best to use and what gave the most flexible options for our needs. Then there's the work to make it look a certain way :) Then there's all the past material that's still available but would need some massaging to put back onto this site. The history information is priceless and I guess that's what really took me so long to touch it. I didn't want to screw it up. Don't touch what's not broken right?
In reality, the site was broken. People wanted to do things that were proving more and more difficult to do on this site. In fact, I was pretty much the only one that could do anything and available... well somewhat available. As noted in my first article when I did the face lift, I was a bit occupied.
I hope to be able to provide a more dynamic site than in the past. Dynamic in terms of outside the forum. I think it would be nice to have other sorts of information on the site. Probably car related but sometimes current events need to go here. We'll see how it goes, I know the car is dead (RIP: 1979 - 2001) but I believe this community is far from it. We'll have to learn how to grow and adapt and keep everyone's interest. The community is willing, the site needs to move.
Look for changes in the administration. We could use help and it doesn't help that I'm not all that creative when it comes to design. I guess when the time comes, we'll put up a posting or something.
