    Interesting how the only two to complain so far dont have facebook

    Like it or not facebook isn't going anywhere and is only going to become bigge. As said the fake group is very popular and hasn't taken away from the forum so why not have our own one whicb we can control and use to our advantage?

    I for one already rarely use the forum due to the way I browse. I personally use the new post feature to browse which is fine until I need to put my phone down for 10 minutes as when I pick it up again it resets the search and then I dont get to see all thats new.

    I personally think it will fill the role of the old png chat as well and try and build the social aspect of this community. So so often we hear how people dont come and talk to people at shows because they dont know/recognise anyway, well if you've been talking to someone with their picture right next to the comments you will surely recognise them when you come face to face with them?

    The problem is not whether facebook or the web there just is not enough nova owners with similar interests to make local meetings a reality and so I am go with other clubs to shows. This way, most of the local shows have several novas on different stands (with different interests). Kendal with 14 novas will take some beating but 7 last week at Bodelwyddan was not too bad. On both we were on stands on clubs from facebook, so you will have a lot of competition for interest.

    and yes there is a lot of armchair critics on PNG.

    True we will have a lot of competition but if we are not on facebook in the first place we stand zero chance! At least this puts us in the running

    Personally here's what I think , if "we" as a club don't move with the times we will end up in a similar position to the png of old, we need to reach new blood and sign up new member, because members make a club!
    Facebook is a quick and easy way to message and contact all club members, eg organising for a club stand at a show.
    As long as we still have the forum for real content fb will work brilliant in our favour for organising and drumming up new members.

    Spot on, for many reasons the forum will never die, cant have project threads on facebook, technical section etc. Plus im on a very busy group called zlet lovers. Trying to find a post on there from just yesterday takes fooking ages and ****s me off . They really need a forum!
