Some may have noticed, I have been trying to get our name out on social media, as per my current portfolio on the club committee. If there are specific topics I may overlook and you want shared, please post a link on this thread.

I must be honest when I say that the FB page sometimes becomes a bit like a Piepie contest.
I feel sorry for Thys having to facilitate that page.
It has become a page of "mine is bigger and better than yours"

When that happens, I switch off and have a look at this forum and regain my sanity!
Good luck with the venture!!

Ek dink Thys is dalk al keelvol vir my daar op FB... Ek "raak baie goed kwyt" ... Hehehe.
Ek geniet dit om te stir daar, baie van die ouens vat hulself baie ernstig op, en sien nie altyd in dat 'n ou maar net bietjie spot met hom nie. Dit vermaak my nogals om die ouens se siele uit te trek, maar 'n ou moet maar versigtig wees, partykeer maak jy die manne vies.
Fb is my "alter-ego" hilux page...
En Thys, jy moet erken, paar van daai threads so stille dode gesterf het as daar nie paar ouens was met houtlepels nie - jouself ingesluit.
Hehehe.
(op fb sou daai 'n evil "mwahahaha!" gewees het)

'n Mens kan nie die FB blad vergelyk met die forum nie.

Hier leer ek interesante dinge oor onderwerpe wat ek nooit van geweet het nie,
en ek het gesien hoe behulpsaam en vriendelik die ouens hier is.

Op FB leer ek net hoe arogant Hilux eienaars is oor die algemeen en
hoe sleg ander vervaardigers gese word.

Daar is 'n paar goed hier wat ons nie moet verwar nie... Die Club as sulks is nie op FB verteenwoordig nie... Daar is 'n Hilux4x4.co.za Club Page, maar daar gaan niks aan nie, ek het dit net gecreate sodat iemand anders nie die gedagte hijack nie... Net soos ek 'n paar ander groups en pages gaan create het sodat die name gereserveer kan bly vir ons en my eie gebruik in die toekoms.

Nou.. FB kan geensins met die Forum vergelyk word nie... Dis soos die Forum in een opsig, enigiemand kan gratis aansluit en sy ding doen, binne perke... of ten minste ons probeer om dit binen perke te hou... Die ouens daar is BAIE ernstig oor hulle Hiluxe... en dit is 'n voltydse job om daai klomp in toom te hou... maar dankie Mickey, soms is dit nodig om bietjie die lang lepel in te le en hard te roer..

I think what Thumelo has in mind is something different? Or is it? You can use the Hilux4x4.co.za Club page to promote the club stuff?

It is true that the FB page pulls a completely different crowd. But in that crowd there are actually some nice guys too. I don't mind referring decent-sounding guys here. If they turn out to be bad apples they won't like it here anyway.
I do think Thys' approach to that page is good though, allowing chaps to boast, up to a point. Slowly they are getting the message that the place is not actually intended as a Hilux chest-thumping platform, but rather a more social, info-sharing platform. Already the pic of the hilux towing the ranger is getting only luke-warm response, whereas a month ago it would have been full of crowing pratts. Guys behave themselves in accordance to the group behaviour, and you are doing a good job stamping out the "lets ride on the fynbos, have another dop, gooi donuts in the parkinglot" crowd.
It'll be an ongoing job though, as new guys continue to join.

Personally I like the livelyness of the thing, even if it gets to be a bit tedious with the Hilux chest-thumping sometimes.

For example over the past holidays I was trying to sent out motoring tips, season greetings, etc. from the club - which are common and general to most of us but coming from the Hilux Club
