The forum is a knowledgebase.
bang on, you just can't do that with FB. With FB people want and demand answers to their post, sign of the time we live in, nobody seems to have a spare second to look things up, when in reality they do but just CBA. But try to convince them of that and you banging your head against a wall.
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.
