LETS SEE HOW MANY PARTICIPATE IN THIS THREAD...

I'll participate here instead of FB, since well… I don't have a FB.

Not to sure really what the point of this thread is, but I'll take a guess and make some comments based on MY observations (and opinions).

1) IMHO, Forums are better situated for smack talking and discussions of various topics. The thing with Forums over FB is you are able to separate various topics into sub forums, and as such some may only frequent (and care about) one the of topic, and ignore another all together. This way the club has a better PR presence on FB, and the forums here for people to start new topics, smack talk about others and just speak their mind. Forums, as mentioned above, have a better vehicle for separating the discussions, so that if someone wants to know an opinion of an auto shop, they don't have to sift through 30+ discussions about racing or meeting that degrade into who's e-penis is biggest. In other words, keep the FB group "cleaner" so those we are helping don't see the group as assholes.

2) To be honest, ATC really isn't too different from any other car club that had been established up here before them, it's just the new "flavor of the week" per se, that gained a lot of ground on FB where the likes of AKMS, MSAK, AKEuro and AKIC chapter for some reason didn't. Most of the other forums/groups/clubs have similar formats, rules, and frankly many of the same members. Aside from some being geared towards certain makes.. (Euro's, or Subaru's) they all are in essence the same. Hell, even Motorsportsalaska has damn near the same format layout as here. I guess the only real difference, is ATC has actually been able to do some good for the community via the donations and drives, etc..

People will always get butt hurt over something, it's the internet. They might not like that your car is slower than theirs, or handles better, or can't stand you have a hello kitty cell phone cover. Who knows, who cares its the inter webs. The creators of this group have made mention a few times from what I gathered, about making sure the FB page is inviting for ALL.

Of course I could be speaking out of my ass so.. whatevers.

Ya but dont some of the people we do charity stuff for have access to the fb page? If so we look like ass's. I told brandon he should lock the fb page to just announcements of meets and charity and force every one to use the forum. The fb gets to be a pain to look through the shit to find a post you want. Just my .2 cent

We are too big to be only a FB group. Like Dan said, when trying to find something, its a pain in the ass to sift through all the crap thats in there.

I'm a huge supporter of forums and always will be.

So if they look at our FB page and we look like asses does that mean we are asses? So you are deleting posts and editing stuff to make it look like we are who we arent? Everyone knows that in a group that there will be disagreements. Hiding from it doesnt make it go away.

oooo00o0oo0okillem

To be honest, sometimes. But I agree with the idea you're putting out.

...but it would be nice if there was a pop up notification on my phone every time there's an update instead of waiting for an email, kinda like how the nasioc ap is..... :-D K I'm done bitchin about it.
