Gauging interest: Non-regional 1addicts facebook group?

Matticus91 · 10-31-2018, 11:50 AM

New group has been created! https://www.facebook.com/groups/720247235008776

Curious if there's any interest in this, I've been working to get more events going lately and find that the biggest limiting factor is how many different 1er groups there are in each area. Additionally, not everyone on the forum is on facebook, and many on the forum are only in smaller local/regional groups.

Would any of you be interested in a nationwide 1Addicts facebook group? The goal of this group would primarily be to get more exposure for meets, as well as offer another avenue for people to trade things on a bigger marketplace.

I did some digging prior to this post and found a few e82/1er groups that look to have either faded to nearly no activity or shut down entirely. Others are regional and usually only a handful of members.

Eager to hear all your thoughts!

do eeet.

There's E82FAM but that's about it

olds350 · 10-31-2018, 12:50 PM

I'm sure you know about this, but there is a 1-2 addicts FB page already, but has low membership right now.

I consider this forum the 1-2 series facebook page.

I love that half the people in this poll don’t have Facebook. That’s a good sign.

I figured that would be the case, but it's still one of the easiest and best ways to communicate and coordinate.

Esteban · 11-02-2018, 11:12 AM

No Facebook here, either.

Good luck with your new group, Matt!

bagekko · 11-02-2018, 11:23 AM

Yeah FB is for chicks and old people. I'm practically ungoogleable and thats the way I like it LOL

Gweeper64 · 11-09-2018, 03:03 PM

What is the name of this new group so you can search for it?

I'm in one but virtually all the members are from the UK. Cool seeing their car pics though.

Esteban · 11-09-2018, 03:21 PM

Hey Matt, don't forget about your non FB friends over here at 1ADDICTS.

Also, we NEED more pics of Apollo. Just keep it car related so no-one gets snippy.
