I'm dissapointed with us!
« on: June 22, 2008, 09:23:23 pm »
this site is very slow and dead...what's up guys?  i know we have jobs and lives outside a forum but it seems very stale here?  i feel i post posts along a with a few others just to keep it ticking over ha ha. besides the point... need we advertise the club a bit more?  i'm also disapointed with the number of people saying they will come to the g40 rally in august?!  surely more people can come than the 6 or 7 currently claiming they will come.  i know g40's are few and far between and let us not forget many will be owned by people who  wont even use a computer!  but that image we saw a while back of the portugease turn out was impressive...can we not be inspired by such things?!

it seems a bit cheeky just putting a thread on clubpolo advertising this place.  since I've kind of ended up helping them get the server sorted out it might also seem like some kind of abuse of power of something if I did it.  I've no objection to someone else starting a thread though!  Although no doubt someone on there will moan about it.

Otherwise, I'll take the club banner to BVF and see if we get any interest.  What other ideas does anyone have ofr getting the club more well known?

Alot of the G40 owners still post on CP (me included), and theres still loads of G40 specific posts on there, which should really be on here!  I think we need to get more of a community feeling on here but it comes with time I guess.  But things like the G40 Rally will really help out.

I would come to the Rally but not sure if the car will be working lol

I've stopped posting on CP since this place came about. Sick of people talking trash over there, and anything useful I can pick up from threads here anyway. Otherwise I'm wading through threads about rat look Mk4s and stretched tyres. YAWN.

i only follow 3 or 4 threads at the minute. might go and recruit that miglo fellow with the eaton conversion.

its the first thread in ages where I have been genuinely interested in what happens. I picked up quite abit of knowledge, like to think I helped him out too. Also abit of ingenuity which is always a good thing.

yeah im bored of CP to many people on there with no taste and cant take a bad opinion. and i want to hear about proper conversion with more details!

i know there is a facebook clubg40 thing but is there a myspace bebo shit may help advertise!

and also if you want more people who are interested in proper modification and stuff try not to put such big threads your self on other forums like CP maybe try and put smaller posts with a pic and then put a link to the full thread on here!

also when any one ask's for technical advise on g40's always point them in this direction for the answer instead of replying the answer on other forums.

and try changing your avatars to the clubg40 banner on any forums you use for a month or so?

club g40 avatars on club polo is a good idea!  Nice and crafty.  Although I like my current Happy Mondays avatar

Simple, go on all the VW sites, find G40 owners and PM them about the club.  Simular with ebay: find any specific G40 parts or cars, wait until bidding has ended and it will state the winner - PM them.  Also if you have your website address on your profile, google does a search and the club address moves the listings.  So register on other clubs and under pics of ya car put www.polog40.co.uk.

The other thing you should do is flyer G40 at shows.  There should be a downloadable page where you can print off flyers.  Adverts in magazines cost a lot - expect to pay over 150 quid even for a small one.
