FB interacts with smart phones/pads in a very user friendly way being on tap with notifications etc, people just wait for these and no need to actually look at the page for anything really - prompts. Yet everyone seems to manage the rest of their lives using smart phones/pads with online usuage banking, shopping etc etc so why can't they look at a forum (it has same notification type messages/replies system - lack of knowledge I think) ? Just lazy.

Am not at all happy with FB security and I can tell you now that the cycling sites I am on are being used to steal bikes from homes - a lot. So chatting on FB with all sorts about yourself and car etc I wouldn't be happy with.

A FB page with limited info, links back to topics on here perhaps................

Another thought, yes think I agree, a rebranding of this site to make in more inclusive of all fords/fiestas/st, do we have a website ? that would be good place to start for newbies to locate us, with some info on the page and direction back to here. NO doubt there are huge numbers of new ford cars about and ST's too.

Hope that helps.

Definitely a good idea to attract new members happy
I saw one young boy at the show laugh to his dad when he saw our stand name and only 2 ST's upset

Motormouths

Thecarforum

Good point

Seeing loads of st s about so it's surprising there's not more interest
Perhaps also with them being pretty low in value now, the people buying them that aren't that enthusiastic about them. Not sure about that as a theory, but just a thought.
