Is it me? . . .
Is it me, or does the club site feel like a ghost town lately? Has everyone migrated to adding their input to face book? if so why? Is it because it's easier to upload photo's and content?
Would a 'share' button help? Would new easier to upload software help? Maybe it's time for a re-vamp? I hate to see the club in decline, even Briggie's joke seem to have dried up, come on fellow members get posting! |

a little, but end of the day people have to contribute themselves
maybe the subscription cost needs looking at |

Think u have to consider what folks use the site for i personally wanted to know about modding my truck and green lanning This site is great for the technical info on trucks but recently it's green lanning and social side has dropped off so now spend time on another site and I think thus is true for others |

if the cost you are refering to is the membership cost of £10, yes times are hard but this is the best £10 i have spent in the long run you will save this easily with all the help and support from fellow members...... thats if the membership is still £10 .........oops saying too much ....i think mines due soon......

Yes, we used to have a lively social side, is it the departure of our lady members that has slowed this down? Willow always made a good contribution

I must admit I've been working away for a while and just come back but its just the same on my fishing forum site, things have slowed right down. It was doing well when i went away.
Face book, twitter, haven't done forums any good at all. As to the membership cost £10 seems about right to me. |

I'm NOT that busy at the mo and so end up on here too much
Dead easy to post pics but agree some modernising would be good. In particular an APP would be good FB does my head in and sure dont use it for forum stuff I spend a lot of time on the Aus site for the Patrol as they're ALL into modding and offroading just the trol. Could it be this site is TOO generic |

This time of year should be busiest with cold dark nights i find on ebay it goes quiet in the summer when people are out and about not at computer and picks up when the clocks change.

Ten quid is a small price to pay compared to the damage your wallet would suffer if you had to take the truck somewhere to get it fixed every time.
Although i've only had a few things to attend to on mine, I reckon I've saved getting on towards the thick end of £400 in labour charges having done the work myself. And all down to the fantastic, helpful members on here and the pool of knowledge shared. I don't use facebook or twitter... just good ol' forums. I may not post a lot, but I'm always reading the threads for snippets of info....just in case I need it later. |
