Thinking of making a Facebook page for this group. Most of the names I would use for the group are already taken. So I am thinking of going with "RPOZ24". Thoughts? It might make sharing pics a little easier too. I know not everyone is on FB so of course this message board would continue. One of these days I need to update the main site too lol

Mark, I like the idea! My only concern would be the need for moderators. I am in a few other groups on FB and at times some folks get a bit out of hand. It may be nasty bickering, not following the rules of the page or spamming. This sort of behavior can ruin a group very quickly. The present group here is a pretty levelheaded bunch of guys but eventually others will join and may stir the pot.

I agree Rob,, but like other Facebook sites that I belong to, someone has the final yay or nay to letting you join,, do we need to make a certain criteria to be in the group?

Mark - Another point of interest, the information / topics on this message board only goes back 2 years. The topics from previous years, what happens to it ? In the past, there has been some valuable information posted here... hate to see it being lost over time. With FB, is there a way to save this information and be able to refer back to specific topics? I'm friends with Gene on FB and he has a album on his restoration progress on his '68 SS - very cool! Maybe something along those lines can be set up on FB ?

Just a thought,

Thanks Mark

Steve

As long as the group is designed as a "closed" group, I think it would almost function as normal. Only those who are allowed by the administrator would be allowed to comment. It would still keep the group open to discussions but would limit the membership and audience. It would make loading pics and links much easier. JMO Gregg

As far as having a presence on FB, I think that is extremely important. As far as the name, the only issue I see is that this site has become so much more than a site dedicated only to Impala SS 427's abd the current name and RPOZ24 depict the same. I didn't see ImpalaSS427 taken ? Perhaps ImpalaSS427.com as a name on FB.

Mark, Personally, As a person who is hanging onto this internet thing by his fingertips , and not to sure what "face book" is , however I do hear people talk about it. and if it would be another platform to spread the gospel, I am sure that would be a good thing. So if some one post something good on face book, would only the face book people see it?? I do not want to lose my daily fix of SS427. Morley

Although I am on facebook, I don't like it. My reservation about creating an SS427 site would be the conversation on this site would dwindle down to nothing. Hey, all good things eventually come to an end. Somehow, facebook has taken over the world and the lemmings just keep jumping off the cliff.

I'm not talking about replacing this message board or a lemming making a jump. Just supplementing what we already have. Both offer things the other cannot. And I'm just toying with the idea for now, nothing more.

Re: Facebook

I think that would be great Mark !

Understood! Anything that promotes and enhances the "goodness" that has been found and comes from this site, is a positive. Many thanks for your dedication and effort!!
