Didn't know their was a face book page for the club I haven't been to a club meeting for awhile because of work maybe something new they did I wouldn't know cause I don't get on face book. Yes RJ, there actually is a facebook page for the Overlanders Mud Club. I have no idea who controls it. If you are a facebook friend of the page you can see more info. Here's a link to it : www.facebook.com/#!/overlanders.mudclub I tried searching many times and couldn't find it. Thanks for the link. |

Here's a link to it : www.facebook.com/#!/overlanders.mudclub I tried searching many times and couldn't find it. Thanks for the link. Sorry, the link only works if you are logged into facebook. And of course to be logged into facebook you must be a member of facebook. There is alot of content there. I guess for some reason someone decided to start a facebook page to discuss club news and events and it has caught on. That is WONDERFUL, but the bad part is that some of the mud racers barely get online, much less belong to facebook. So those that don't belong to facebook cannot read or post on that page. That is one reason that this message board was always kept as viewable by the public, membership not required. In that way, the info gets dispersed to the widest audience possible. |

I wonder when the club was going to say anything that they have a facebook page on the website to let the people they can go there and get information also?  Or I guess you have to be a facebook friend of a club member to find out new information. |

They may or may not be an Overlanders Club member, it really doesn't matter. Anywhere that makes available more info about your club activities is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. The only downfall I can see is that there is info posted on the facebook page that is not available on the overlanders4x4.net website or this message board. That is great for the people that are facebook members, but bad in that there are alot of racers that don't get all of the info available because it is only viewable by facebook members that are freinds of that particular page. Just my 2 cents of thought but what does it really matter, I'm not a club member, and I live 860 miles away ! Haha |

We are still keeping the website just adding a Facebook page to help pass the word about racing. How are people going to find any information about Overlanders4x4 on their website if the information posted on Facebook isn't also provided for the website or message board? Lots of your members don't have Facebook, you need to cover all bases. We average between 50 and 60 hits a day (sometimes more)on the Website and the Message Board, so someone is checking there more than once a week. But if there is no new information there, well ........ Many people even come to this Mesage Board via a link on the main website. And btw, the reason many cannot find it on facebook is because the name of this club is Overlanders4x4 and if that is what you are searching for, you won't find it on Facebook Arlene |

Oh Lordy am i confused? Is the facebook page operated by the overlanders? Some overlanders seem like they know about the page and some like "Admin" seem to not support it? Will it be accurate information if the overlanders admin staff is not running it? So who is running that facebook page? Does anyone know? I'm so confused. It is confusing isn't it, haha. I don't know who runs the facebook page, and it really doesn't matter. Apparently they wish to remain undercover but I think they had the POSITIVE INTENTION to spread Overlanders news wherever possible. Apparently they didn't realize that although they had good intent, the end result is that the mudracers that are also facebook members and friends of that page discuss things there, but then all of the other mud racers, the majority of which I would guess are not facebookers and/or friends of that page cannot see that info. The ones on facebook will say "well it was on the webpage" not even realizing that some large percentage of the racers cannot see that and/or do not even realize that it is there. Just my 1/2 cent worth, again, I'm NOT an Overlanders Club member. I just try to support the club. Wishin you all well, Steve |

As fore the face book page iam not sure who started it, I understand why it was started to reach more people. But I stated to some poeple when asked about it, that was the main reason for the web page and the message board to talk to poeple. For myself i do not have face book nor do i care to have it. I will talk about this at the meeting on sunday.

Any post about Overlanders4x4club face book will be deleted from this web site because the club doesn't have a face book page from you. Sorry for the inconvenience, Overlanders Mud Face book is the only face book page that co insides with this web site.
Thank You

Deleting post to spread word about a race WOW!!! It sounds like to me we got a power trip going on to me just like the first Hitler and I really can't believe other club members find it ok for our club secretary to use the name Hitler as there screen name I could see it from a non club member but come on am I the only one that finds that wrong for club representation.

I really don't see RJ attacking you at all Mrs. Secretary. He was simply wondering why a club representative, empowered to act as a spokesperson and decision maker for the club, would choose not to use a professionally positive name, but intentionally choose a name that is synonymously associated with the extermination of over 11 million innocent people. I am appalled that you would take issue with RJ only pointing out the obvious..
Just because someone might have made a poor choice to call you a name that is known world wide, as offensively inappropriate years ago, does not make it right to use that name in public when representing a 4x4 club. Especially when representing such a long standing nonprofit organization like the Overlanders?
My great grandmother on my mothers side was part Jewish and I am deeply sadden and hurt by your defense of using such a name and further questioning RJ when he has every right to ask why you would think using such a name would be justified in any arena??

 I guess with both of you, you like to point out of context jibber jabber to hurt people also. It's ok to say what you want, freedom of speech and all that. But I do refuse to play on playground with either one of you. Thank you for all your commentary for this is a forum for racing. Have a great day it's just beautiful outside, but of course my day is not so great because of you Jeff McCue and RJ. But hey I'm a big girl.... hope to see everyone at the races in July at the HOI Fair a week from this coming Saturday Sincerely Linda Miles

I simply speak what i feel is the truth and from my heart. Sugar coating is a waste of words i feel so i always think it best to come out and say what is really meant. I take back not one single word i have said. But i do apologize to anyone and everyone who has had a bad day or felt hurt from my direct words. Jeff McCue |
