Is there any chance that (2) Additional Fields addressing the below listed Mileage Measurement could be Added to the Membership Vehicle Profiles Data Section? The recording of this information into The Data Set simply involves Adding in these Two Mileage Categories:
(A) Vehicle Mileage on DOSU (Date Of Sign Up)
(B) Vehicle Mileage per Yearly Update ( Alerts could trigger of January 1st, 20XX for continuing accuracy...)
These additional pieces of Mileage Information would allow for the following Member Convenience, Data-Mining and Site Stats Analyses:
(1) Determining the Baseline Mileage upon Joining GMTN establishes a Starting Reference Point vs. Future Mileage records during Return Visits for Assistance. This information can also Help to determine which major component failures are likely to occur within certain Mileage Ranges and this data can be immediately captured as soon as New People arrive at GMTN and Sign Up to become Active Members Seeking Help.
(2) Determine the Post-DOSU Mileage at Yearly or Bi-Annual Time Intervals Mileage or.... upon the Next Member Request for Assistance. This information can help figure out the relevance of How Many Miles have been traveled between Major Component Failures and perhaps derive patterns for anticipating overall Expected Failures and Breakdowns vs. Miles Traveled.
(3) All but eliminate the need to Constantly Ask that Same Damned Question about "What is Your Vehicle Mileage...?" Over and Over during the Start of Each and Every New Threads ... and this ALSO affects other Members concerned with experiencing those very same Failure Issues getting discussed within those same Threads.
MILEAGE: Is THE one piece of information that WILL invariably get asked about in order to consider it as a legitimate co-factor involved with how the Vehicle has been getting Used, Maintained (and sometimes abused) over time of Ownership and Total Distance traveled and is axiomatic in determining some of the Q&As necessary for figuring out the actual causes of Mechanical Problems.
By automatically Calculating these Mileage Levels vs. Timeline comparisons... the answers to these and many other questions would become immediately available for consideration. The Output from these Mileage vs. Timeline Date Equations could be allowed to automatically populate into a portion of the Signature Lines of ALL Members. No Muss... No Fuss.... Just Clear, Relevant and Accurate Information based upon: DOSU Mileage, Current Mileage, Years, Months/Days Passed in Between:
(4) Assist Vendors in determining when to populate their Advertisements Based upon the Frequency Analysis of Membership Vehicle Age... Vs. Miles Traveled... Vs. Parts Likely to be Needed around those factors.
(5) There IS an actual GMTN Thread called "How many Miles Do You... Etc...." . Now that might SEEM like just some, general casual point of conversation... but its actual Collection, Calculation and Utility here for EVERYONE is Priceless.... Especially if THAT Question Never Needs to Be Asked more than once. :>)
