NO MEET ARRANGED YET

[Dave]

We hope to be arranging meets for the spring summer season this year. Watch this space for updates and details,

[Stringer]

any updates on this as yet?

[Dave]

None as yet Paul, we've been working flat out with Civic5 with the birthday meet etc. We really need more members joining to make the mmets feesible, as everyones pretty spread out over the country. But we welcome HC members to attend the Civic5 meets as these are all over the UK now.
Once we get the members here, we'll get some on meets organised.

[Stringer]

whens the next civic 5 northwest meet?

definately interested in coming along!!

[Dave]

We haven't got one arranged as yet. The next meet is scheduled to be back in Scotland again, as we're doing another run. Hoping to get a Go Karting event arranged to tie in with this on the same day aswell, but will all depend on numbers attending. The run itself will be a good one! If we do get enough interest in the whole meet including the Karting, we're going to approach the local premier inn/travel lodge to see if we can get members a discount for a group booking, for anyone wanting to stop over for the night.

are there no local meets...NW or yorkshire ect?
Due to being generally skint I can't manage much but will travel 50-70 miles to say hello and show my shed off!

[Dave]

lol we'll need to recruit more members first mate, think we're all pretty spread out all over the uk so far.

[Mrwall]

there should be at least 2 more tomorrow!

[Dave]

Haha! nice one!

[Mrwall]

take it you have registered the club address with google to get more traffic?

thaoc gets 3 or 4 new people every couple of days!

[Dave]

Yup! Submited the site and forum when we first started mate. Also done all the meta tags in both forum and site, and the sites all <h> tagged aswell. Just need to get more people visiting the site straight from google. Theres a way we can do this though, sneakily! What to do is, type Honda forum uk into google, and then go through the pages till you find us. Before you click the link to us, save the google page as a favourite/bookmark. Now when you visit the site, click the link in the google search. What this does is, everytime someone searches for Honda Forum or club on google, it logs how many times people click the link to our site from that search. This then bumps us up in relevance to anyone searching Honda or forum or club. It takes a while to get to the top of google, but we'll get there. We were 3rd from the top in google searches last year! Just that because the site doesnt have the same traffic since we restarted it, its dropped our ranking.

We still get a lot of account activation requests, but only so many are genuine. A lot of forums have automatic activation, or user activated acounts, which means that although the number of members goes up every day by a big amount, most of the members are actually just automated bots.

Both our sites have each and every activation request checked by admin before it gets activated. This is so we can weed out the bots, as these lie dormant in the forum, and eventually end up posting spam (auto generated)
So we check everyones i.p. address against the spam register, check the email address against the spam/fake emails, check your location tallys up with what youve entered in profile etc, only then does it get activated by admin. This means members get a totally spam free forum, and the member count is more accurate

[Mrwall]

right I'v saved the google page as a fav!
so every time I log in i'll have to use more energy actually typing my name and password!

the things I do. when you get stickers I want one foc!!!!!!

[Dave]

Haha! cheers for that Leon! We'll put you to the top of the list for stickers when we get them!
