Noble forum participant check

[AMG Merc]

Just wondering how many peeps check in here and are NOT ON FACEBOOK?

Cheers

[mgbond]

I visit Both but PH site much less often

[Adrian W]

I'm still around

I'm registered on the FB group but a) I don't use FB much and b) its not really designed for a forum. Would rather there was more action on here, real shame that some people fell out with the authorities.

Often look to see if there's anything on the PH Noble forum, even though the majority of the time there isn't!

10 years of Noble ownership starting in 2003 forms a habit which is impossible to break.
Souldn't have sold my Titanium Silver GTO3 in 2013. Oh to be wise after the event.
Still got some original Noble Keyrings kicking around. These are the ones Micknall
from the factory (who remembers him?) OK 'd it for me to re-produce them.
Soon be collectors items!

I'd rather chop my knackers off and have them on toast than join facebook.

The forum software on PH is so bad, outdated, and slow... I only check it once a year.

Nobleforums.com is a much better, easier to use, and faster site. It also gets more frequently visited, it seems.

So, based on the options, Facebook only

As a long-time Noble owner (bought the M400 over 13 years ago when it was 18 months old), I'll check in on here occasionally, and very occasionally look on Facebook.

I really dislike the way that Facebook works - it's not a forum (obviously) so it's very hard to find previous posts and what does appear seems to be very random.

I like the way PH works, as it's a proper forum. I also have no issues with the speed of PH, but that's probably because I'm using an ad-blocker so loading pages is quick without loads of ads. The main problem with the Noble forum on PH is that there's very little activity since most people moved to Facebook.

Could you be persuaded potentially to part with one of those keyrings?
If so, I'd really love one - please PM me if there's any chance?
Many thanks,
Conrad.

I remember Micknall (Simon Hucknall) - met him at MPH05 when they had the red M400 there:

Used to use Pistonheads only, the forum was brilliant 6 years ago, so much help for a new owner. It went down hill massively and everyone seems to have migrated to facebook, I didn't have an account and not a facebook fan but the same level of help, support, banter, event information, items for sale is provided there, don't bother with pistonheads more than once a month at most, shame really they have destroyed a great tool.

[YellowShed]

Still visit the pages occasionally. Not a FB user at all

I keep an eye on here but as most others have said it's pretty pants nowadays - miss this everyday :-(

[TuxMan]

i visit both to keep up to date , we only setup the facebook page because of the over controlling rules on pistonheads , shame as its destroyed a once vibrant forum !!

It doesn't help when virtually every new owner that pops up on here is told "don't bother asking here, we're on FB now".

I don't mind FB but it's not a real forum and it is difficult to find things - relevant threads etc.

As you say, it has killed off what was once a vibrant active forum, but I guess the fact that so many have left PH for it must mean something. Or are all forums declining?

M3 Cutters is a thriving forum as is 911uk but then the two marques are far more prevalent than Nobles.

Lots of useful answers to questions from owners on the FB page, like there used to be here. But I still hardly ever go there because I don't like FB and its so clunky as a forum. If all that stuff was posted here it'd be far easier to search and find.

Nothing inherently wrong with forums - lots of PH forums are busy and this one could be too. Its just that some of the most regular posters decided to do it on FB instead.

Over 650 members of the FB group. Probably about 3 for every Noble in the country!

[F.C.]

Still here.

Facebook

[shaunsmith]

I still go on forums everyday especially TV,Film Radio, Sports, look on here most days, shame near nowt gets posted.
I’m not on Facebook but use my wife’s name occasionally.

They used to have some great threads and characters on here, miss them.
Facebook doesn’t do it for me whatsoever.

Just a quick thanks to honestbob for the keyring.
Very much appreciated!
