Official Southeast 86 Thread
 

As everyone by now is well aware, the Southeast section of North America doesn't have as big of a gathering of 86 owners as some of the western states Texas, California, and Nevada have. With that being said myself and @Sportsguy83 have created the Southeast 86. We have a facebook Group page. If your in our region, have facebook, and have an FR-S or BRZ, then come to the group and ask to join. An admin will get you approved ASAP! If you don't have a Fascebook account updates, details, and events will be posted on here as well.
https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/groups/Southeast86/

Now all of you go click 'like' it will make it easier for all the 86 owners in the South East plan meets and events.

Good idea. Even the Central FL group is small :\

So far the Facebook page has been open for 2 hours and we're up to 16 likes. Keep it coming people. WE NEED MOAR!

Wouldn't it have been beeter to just create a group instead of a page? Then we can all have private conversations, upload pics, be considered a group, and get notifications. I'm a part of Vegas86 and its a closed group page and it works very well.

Or you could do all of that on the forum your already on....

Liked.

Yes and no. All of the above can be done true. But anyone and everyone can come in and go. On FB everything can be consolidated into one area, not multiple threads. Idk about y'all but I only have internet on my phone and I can't upload pics, only notifications I get are PMs, thanks, and quotes. As mentioned before, I am apart of Vegas86club and we have our own FB group. I'm not sure how to explain it but it just works and flows much better. I'm not saying leave this forum by any means. Just offering an alternative that honestly is easier in almost everything, at least for me and my stupid windows phone. Plus on FB you will get a notification any time someone post anything in the club. I don't get that here even on the threads that I'm subscribed too. However, on a page that you only like instead of being invited to, you don't get notifications to who posts on there.

I have created a registry for Kentucky and Ohio. Haven't named it yet

The page was created as a way for us to reach out to all who own a FR-S or BRZ. Keep in mind not everyone that owns a 86 is on this forum. Therefore, we created a Facebook page. Having it being a page was chosen by the creators. Nothing wrong with it being a group either, just what we chose. Regardless, since it's activation this morning it has seen 21 likes and an unbelievable amount of traffic. I believe this is a good start for the 86 nation.

Agreed, and for the record I never ment to say that starting a page was the wrong answer at all. I'm just giving. Feed back. Can we add the Harbison meet this weekend to the events list on there?

Wasn't saying you were saying anything wrong. Was just trying answer all the posts. Send me the details in a PM and I'll post it in the morning.

Don't worry I'll be adding to the CFL soon enough:thumbup:

In Northern Alabama, there I am routinely the only FRS that shows up for anything. Not that I mind the "exclusivity" but hanging with other owners would be nice for a change.

Looks like I have to make a Facebook page now!

Can come join ours as well. It's seeing alot of traffic from people all over. I'll help you for some Alabamians.

Damn you kids and your myfacespacebook.

haha for a minute I thought I was the only one. Must be getting too old, but I never got into the whole facebook/twitter thing. I'll plan to make it to the meet though.

I might be up in Huntsville in my FR-S in the next couple weeks! I'll have to keep an eye out for you.

There was a community vote and Southeast 86 is now using a Group instead of a Page on Facebook. The first post is updated with the new link. Thanks everyone for your support!

I would like to announce that Southeast 86 has it's 1st official sponsor! Big thanks to @Circuit Motorsports for their support.

Over 100 members within 4 days of being live...

True, and not everyone chooses to use Facebook either as mentioned above. I have professional reasons I don't use it we won't get into here.

May I suggest if you are going to make it the default communications page you may want to make it public so it doesn't require a login?

I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes, and hopefully joining in on the festivities.

A simple webpage might also be possible. I am not great at making them...but i can try to throw something together if nobody else is willing/able...and i happen to have a friend with a server who can host the site for free..would just have to pay for the domain name.

It shouldn't require a login to simply view the Group page. If it is i'll start posting all the events on here as well. Have you heard about the No Love 4 Atlanta event on June 1st?

When I go to the link in the OP I get a message saying it requires me to log in to view the page.

And no, I haven't heard of the event on 6/1.

On 6/1 there's a Indoor Car and Bike show at the Convention center. A few of us will be there. A couple competing in the show as well. Here's the link for more info.

Joining right now. Facebook Groups are the only reason I ever go on Facebook. They are almost as good as a message forum.

Definitely adding to the calendar. I go to the Motorcycle Show there every year. Not sure I'm brave enough to drive the FR-S there though. The parking lot there can be a madhouse!

Can't be any worse than Import Alliance. Come on out and meet some fellow Southeast 86 brothers and sisters.

Did I get added yesterday? I didn't get a notice.

Anything going on in South Carolina the first week of June? I'm going on a vaction there that week and might be driving my car down.

We can make plans. I'm the SC head which padt will you be in?

I think what Dadhawk is referring to is the actual Facebook login required.

On a different note, request sent!
