    It's that time of year again for Modern MINI Magazines oscars. NewMINIScotland is needing to defend our crown. Voting is a little different this year and is being done via Facebook and commenting on the the relevant post. Can I ask for everyone, if you haven't already to post for NMS on the ModernMINI Facebook page

    Done .. Although not happy as not everyone has FB to do this ! Think it's playing into the hands of those that are FB groups over anything else.

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Done. I also agree with comments posted that it's essentially turned into a numbers game rather than voted on merit of what clubs have actually done.

    Yeah I'm going to send MM a wee email and send a note in of my concerns. I'm not sure the voting on FB is the best way of deciding this award and it appears a total free for all by the folk that have FB pages. We (NMS) have discouraged the use of FB over the website in order to protect the club. I appreciate that we sometimes to need to move with the times but I'm not sure that FB is the step forward. It's not being bitter about maybe not retaining our trophy it's just a little crazy the way it's being done ... and I'm sure the best club will win ! :)

    My american football team had a brilliant forum and when Facebook came along and became popular in 08/09 they set up a page on there and within the space of 6 months the forum had died and there was very little activity on the Facebook page either because you cannot really start threads or organise things easily. So I have to agree that for some things Facebook is not the way forward!

    Couldn't agree more with the above. That's why we always let people know about and try to direct them over to NMS from our facebook page. We only use facebook as a feeder into NMS, but some people want to/prefer a facebook group compared to a forum. I much prefer the community that we have through the forum
