Prairieludes is down, should we bring the club back to 780? - Click HERE for Original Thread

Prudz_lude
I don't know about you guys but i think we should simply bring the prelude club back to 780 since the webpage is expired. I think this would be a great way to attrack new members since there seem to be alot of new people on 780 and our site kind of died. What do you guys think?

chu77
Agreed, I'm too lazy to even go to Prairieludes website. lol

Prudz_lude
yah i have so many damn logins for so many sites now. I find it so much easier to just log on here and have both in my face. I think alot of others would agree that just having it on 780 like it used to would be beneficial to them and the club.

Your input would be great guys, tyler.;)

Ya until we get the new site up and running we will come back here.

haha soo true :(

lol, well guys the whole reason the site got shut down is due to the domain expiring (not my fault)
a sask member owned the domain and let us use it, but obviously forgot to renew it. What can happen is i can purchase the domain once it expires and re-direct it to this forum for the time being. if we can grow in numbers, and start to get the club going good again we can then decide if we want to try a new site out again. but like adam said the sites traffic was in the toilet. this might give us a chance to expand since we can direct 780 prelude owners to this forum. Plus it keeps everything in one place. So yes, we can use this forum once again. its worked good in the past :) it just really sucks i lost my build thread/ pictures/ etc. And im sure some of you are pretty choked too. O well i suppose. We needed a new plan of action anyways.

chu77
btw, should you guys change the name "Prairieludes", everytime I tell someone with a lude to join "Prairieludes" they just get a look on their face "wtf?" And I'm just like, "it a edmonton based prelude fourm...."


I vote for a new name!!!

Prudz_lude
:thumbup: agreeded. i vote edmonton prelude club again haha. the decals were sweeter and epc is a better name.

s for your thread dont you have the pics on photoshop? can you make a new one here. i am sure lots of non prelude members would really enjoy seeing that build.

2ndgenlude
www.prairieludes.com now redirects to this forum. i purchased the domain and redirected it :)

i also recieved news our old site is still technically up. the hosting company emailed me and he said they have the site saved. our 2 options are keep posting here, or re-open the site. im on the fence kinda. what i could do is get a backup of the site and if we do grow in numbers reopen it the way it was.

NightmareMX6
I like the having our own site.

Prudz_lude
yah but look how much traffic has already came back to the club. With the old site it was you two, myself, walkur ocassionally and dylan but he is gone....

walkur1
Agreed... the site got pretty dead there for a while. I think keeping a backup in case number grow again is a good idea.

chu77
Think we can get more people to join by posting in facebook? Honda needs to bring back the prelude damit!!!:mad:

walkur1
Funny cause I was thinking the exact same thing while walking to my car today... couldn't hurt to make a facebook group and just have a couple of pics and a link to the site...

2ndgenlude
facegroup is actually a good idea. i will make one and post up a link.

2ndgenlude
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12953616254

see how this goes. i threw out a few invites. maybe we can attract some edmonton prelude owners.

NightmareMX6
I don't have facebook and don't really intend on getting it. So get the site running agian. This site isn't seeing more people, it is the same few guys that are on the prairie ludes site.

2ndgenlude
its just that the club is too dead to support a independent website right now. im sure i would have to pay for hosting charges since the site would have to be re-opened. this is free besides the domain but thats like 10-15 bucks a year lol. facebook is good due to car owners searching groups, and people can get redirected to specific groups in there interests. might attract some new members who had no idea of the club. we just need some rebuilding ideas, thats all. the site isn't going anywhere, i can get the backup. it just makes no sense to open the site with only a few members. this would give us a bit more exposure.

Good management tyler :thumbup:

2ndgenlude
ya, im in thinking mode lol. the more we get the word out, the better chance the club has to be successful. entering a car show with flyers to distribute would be huge. im actually going to start working on entering us in DTP if enough people are interested. I will make a thread in a bit. i will find out registeration requirements and club requirements and get back to everyone.

Sounds great! i have seen many a nice preludes driving around edmonton on the southside. Just no club decal!!!! i'll get the word out!:thumbup:

NightmareMX6
You need to get the cards made. Easy way to get the word out. You see a lude in a parking lot, just stick it in the window. done

walkur1
I agree... who would be in charge of printing the cards? I see a bunch of ludes at NAIT everyday, and it would be much easier to get more members/visitors...

2ndgenlude
i just pmed ryan our old business card image. hes going to try to change the name and what not on it, then i can go to get them printed.
