EK9.org Facebook page & EK9.org merch, what would you like to see?


It seems though that ek9.org is just a web url.
Cause the amount of members we have that are non ek9 owners are what makes the forum so diverse and real.

Doesn't matter if you have a ek dc or eg or even hrv!

Everyone is welcome on here.
 
It would be a case of making a new Group rather than page on facebook to make it more like ITR DC2s page. I'm kinda torn about setting one up for a couple reasons, primarily I would be worried that it would make it even more quiet round here, if people where to just use the fb page rather than the forum to post and buy/sell. Also I guess it is the major benefit of the forum set up that posts are in the relevant section and can be easily located by anyone looking for information, whereas if people post on fb the post soon disappears down the wall and becomes difficult to find.

I'm happy to set one up if you guys want to try it?

One question would be public, closed or secret group?
 
Tbh I love this forum, and use it everyday, And enjoy looking at everyone's content. Would be a shame to loose stuff to Facebook etc. But it's good to spread the message of the forum on Facebook :nice:

Yeh, actually that's a very fair point! It's probably the only reason this is the only forum left! Just so much easier to ask things on fb and get more immediate responses
 
I'm also thinking that it would be difficult to start a page like that and get it going/noticed/used if that makes sense. Like if I go up to the garage where I don't get signal, when I leave my phone goes nuts with a million notifications and when I look at them it tends to be two people I know selling one thing but posting it in every page/group that has the word Honda in it. I would't want the page to just turn into an auto jumble. But like I say i'd be happy to give it a go.
 
I'd say don't add another FB group into it, will divert traffic away from the forum and lets be honest, most of the regular posters on here have each other on FB anyway as friends so cant really see the benefit of adding another thing into the mix! Just my opinion, feel free to prove me wrong haha!
 
I'm with you mate, maybe a conversation for another day but if anyone wants to give it a go I will set it up. Been looking into hoodies, t shirts, mugs and as I can't help myself... lighters!

Like i said I don't want rubbish so I've been looking at slightly higher quality gear. At the end of the day it will come down to what people are willing to pay. Spoke to a local place and they are going to get back to me, also emailed several online places. Soon as I have prices I'll put them up.

Was thinking about doing like a pack so, a hoodie, t shirt and mug? Or is everyone just wanting a hoodie?
 
I'll be up for a hoodie too! Or a Tshirt. Like people have said although I've never had an ek9 as such the forum is great. Welcomed by all with my ej9 and I've continued to use it through my next two cars. Just in general a good forum to be on :)
 
Why aren't we wearing merchandise yet lol?

Seriously, I'm looking forward to seeing the hoodies and tees.
 
I agree on the whole, diverting traffic away from the forum. Very good point!

Up for a hoody and some tees though!
 
A pack would be ace, I'll need a mug for JLR anyway! :lol:
 
Yeah some video content about hondas like spoon, Mugen,
Top fuel and the likes , you could use miroshi videos as he has subtitles, if maybe you ask him , I'm sure he won't mind , here is one of his subtitled videos

All in all some more racing content.
 
I'm with most regarding the new "buy/sell Facebook page.
We'll get flooding with people flogging crap and it's likely to subtract attention from here.
I think robs doing a decent job throwing up some nice pictures of members cars and I've seen they get quite afew "likes".
We may be able to attract more members by using the current page and members cars/build threads.
E.g
Let's say rob throws afew pics of his car up with a caption essentially saying "follow this dudes epic 500hp ek9 build over on ek9.org"
With a cheeky link.
That's assuming we want more members? We've got decent guys/girls on here so we may end up with afew bad apples doing this way.
 
I definitely would love to get a lanyard or mug but how the flip do I join the facebook group of no one will approve my request? :angry2:

I've not seen a request, can you not like the page and follow? It's more of a page than a group iirc? I've not looked much into the page(I just like the pictures) lol
 
I think it would be wise to keep the technical topics, for sale sections etc etc to the forum, keeping the face book page for pictures and casual chat,

Branching out with a face book page that does the same thing as the forum will kill the forum off,
Also like others have said any good technical conversation or useful information will just get lost in a sea of spam and nonsense arguments!
