( If there are any English teachers out there reading this, then bugga off.) The other options are letter box drops ( works for Real Estate Agents), word of mouth, writing a letter, or set times like there are now, ie, Thurs/ Sat Mobil Taradale Rd, Sat end of month Classic Club, Sunday end of month Burger Fuel ride. Are there any we have missed?

True but the K/B thread was so much more than that. But if thats what we are going to do it is better than nothing. I hope Telecom improves it coverage as we don't get them TXT thingys here too often.

Time for sleep I am sure it will all seem better in the morning...... now where is the port bottle............. Hic what rides are on this weekend???? oh shit sorry wrong thread....... fill er up honey.... Cook me some muffins Moooooo.................

Probably no reason we cant still use the old thread???

Sorry, forgot to include the carrier pigeon option. Only get info for rides by phone,text, word of mouth or pre set days anyway. KB site just gives me my daily dose of soap opera because I refuse to watch Shortland Street or Young and the Restless.

So what if no-one else ever reads it. it would be for the Hawkes Bay group. Social gathering place. Ride planner and general chat area..........

dot com $12 and I've got free hosting which would cover a small site for just HB meets. Otherwise paying for hosting with my favorite prepaid hosting is probably looking at $10-$30 annually. Depends on bandwidth though which can be kept pretty minimal easily enough.

I think most of us will but we need some freedom to move.

I'm happy to stick around here too. I'm pretty new to the HB ride scene so I'm just sitting back at the moment and seeing what's going on.

I'll look into what sort of setup could be done for something else though in case something happens.

So choices:

1. two threads one in rant and rave and the other meetings and events

2. One thread in rant and rave

You decide - I don't care how you decide discuss amoungst yourselves - but you need to get Mstrs or Tart to communicate the results to the three senior mods - myself, virago and cajun.

Will it work if the HB rides thread gets moved to Rant and Rave and we start a new HB rides thread with a link to the original one?

We will post rides and events on the new one(must use it or it will end up lost in the other pages) and just put a link on every now and again so visiters know theres more happening in the HB bike scene and we can have a laugh and take the piss at each other

What do you lot rekon?

Its easy as to start a website with no charge.

I actually have one and it took 5 mins to do.
I'll do a page and post up and see what you think.

Can do it, give the link, and we post what we want if we want, say for rides.

As far as I'm concerned, I dont give a fuck if the Manawatu lot are happy with them, so what.
I can't be bothered posting anything and then wondering....'have I put it in the right place.

Prob just best to read and use PM IMO for me, can't be fucked with this bullshit pedanticness.

**Dooly** · 30th September 2009, 06:24

Here ya go, 1 minute it took.

Our own ride place, say what you like, organise our stuff with no interference.
Not saying dump this place, but this is a place where no mod stuff will happen.

Register and follow the links etc.
Lets you have pics etc etc.
