Is there a BA facebook group? I searched be didn't see one. Anybody on here on facebook? Should we make one? Other board I'm on have them... and its kinda interesting.
I broke down this weekend and made an account. I was sick of hearing "Are you on facebook"....
-
I'm up for that...
or maybe a Toronto bandit group :stickpoke: :wink:
-
WTF is a facebook?
-
My use of the english language wasn't the greatest in that first post... laughing at myself.
Raphy got a name in mind for the Toronto one?
1. GTA Bandit Riders;
2. Toronto Bandit Group; or
3. Toronto Area Bandit Club

i second that motion!

I believe facebook is similar to myspace...

Sorry about the time discrepancy guys. A manual time update after a quick reboot was mistakenly set 12hrs behind. Caught within 2 hours. Hopefully this will only affect a couple of posts.

Yep, may as well be discussing saggar makers bottom knockers 'cos if it you haven't a clue what it's about, you can't offer your thoughts on it.
I guess it's a regional or country-specific thing.
-
Sounds like one of those silly high school things. :roll:
What do I know, I'm just an old fart. :duh:
-
It seems to be yet another web site where you just have to be seen at (and with another registration process). I suppose the question is - what has this one got that hasn't been done before?
-
What does a facebook site get you that you can't do here?
We've got area specific forums for you to chat with neighbors & organize rides and it can always be expanded if need be... like if "Canada" is too big, we can break it up to suit you.

I like GTA Bandit Riders or Toronto Bandit Group (TBG for short)... not a fan of #3... the "club" :lol:

THat's actually very true... even if we did do a facebook group, noone would know about it unless we told them about it HERE... so why not keep it here - since it's a great place...

Facebook isn't a substitute for the BBS... its more so you can learn more about BBS members. It's basically having a personal webpage that other members of your "group" can see and visit. It's easy to upload photos can update information about yourself. You could see what "non-motorcycle" projects people are working on and pictures of them...
I thought if other people where already on it would be interesting to see what they're up to... but seeing no one knows what I'm talking about nevermind.
-
well - i'm interested, so if u get one going let me know

OIC :duh: Gotcha... sort of a personal webpage thing.

Why not just have a llink at the bottom of your post to your myspace page. Heck, I personally would be content if people just added their location in their profile. People would be amazed on how many people are actually just around the corner from them.

Some of the best ideas are the simplest ones. :wink:
I've just added my location - anybody near me?

I've been on facebook for a couple of months now and your right it is more of a personal web space. It is cool to find old friends that you haven't seen since high school and see what they are up to. What is amazing though, I guess facebook has actually been around since '04, I just read an article about the creator on CNN.com a few days ago.
-
Hmm,.. not a lot of people from high school I'd want to see again. :wink:
-
Facebook definitely isn't a replacement for this forum, but there is a bandit group already. I've actually answered somebodys question by suggesting they come here to check. This is afterall where the Bandit gurus seem to hang around.
-
I've been on a few other boards that had a sticky for a location check. Granted it takes a lot of work at first to gather everybody's info, but it's a quick reference thing.
Other solution would be to use something like Frappr. You can create a group then everybody goes in and basically puts there "pin" on the map. Getting it setup doesn't take long, and then it's more a matter of the members going in and indicating where they're from: http://www.frappr.com/
-
We DO have a Frappr site!!!

I'm not sure where that thread disappeared to though.

Says the guy that rearranged the site. :stickpoke: :wink:
I think it was one of the links that Pete had in the footer of the page.
Oh MAN! I'm the furthest north on that map,... including overseas.

Yup, that's where it was - and still is, if you go there. (http://forums.banditalley.net/index.php)
I'm sure there's a thread in here somewhere that discusses it, but I'm too lazy to go search for it.
Perhaps our new site owner can install it on the current board, too? :stickpoke: :wink:
-
Gotcha covered - Frapper link (http://forums.banditalley.net/viewtopic.php?t=3183)
Sure,.. I'll put it on the to do list.
Here's the thing though, Pete would have set that up, so he'll have the password to do any mods to it. I don't want to lose any of the existing stuff, so I'll see if I can touch base with Pete on it, and get him to give me the info for it.

Okay the suzuki bandits owner group on facebook it goes by the name "Suzuki Bandits!" for anyone else interested...
-
Go figger...I joined that group yesterday :wink:
-
Facebook? Damn, now I've people from everywhere hounding me to be on that list. And there's only two people from high school that I have any interest in talking to, 17 years after I left.
I've added my name and a photo of my bike to the map.
-
just got around to adding myself to frappr, what a cool idea that is! Looks like I'm a decent road trip away from everyone else.
Been on the facebook group for months now, it's got it's place in the world. Sadly some people seem to think it IS the world.
