Question

Hi there,
Quick question, may be totally non relevant and if i dig myself a big hole just turn your head
Has Scoobynet got anything to do with the SIDC or any relevance at all? I don't mean as to Impreza related but i mean, are the 2 totally different or is there the general club link?
Ian

PS- Yes i know that i should know the answer to this by now, but in general i have always thought that they have been linked with each other, and with the bbs going down lastweek and being brought back by Simon (thankgod ) It seems to me that it is totally different - I'm not complaining about this at all!

PPS- Oh yeah, I'd like to say Thankyou to Phil too for keeping it going over the last
year... and everyone else who has made it possible

PPPS- I have an idea, we had the SIDC sticker but how about a Scoobynet sticker?

Hi Hos

Scoobynet is totally seperate to SIDC.

Scoobynet stickers are on the cards, what kind of sticker are you thinking about?

Suggestions are more than welcome.

Cheers

Simon

Simon,

Sounds like a good idea for free website advertising. If people are prepared to put them on their cars.

I think Stefs mate Pete makes stickers.

How about "Impreza owners talk about it on Scoobynet "

Just an idea - LOL

cheers

Check the SIDC website out, it says clearly that the BBS's are not connected to the SIDC

I think stickers would be a great idea. Let's sort it!

Simon,
Something like Chrisp or Rik said. I don't normally like stickers in the car as it does look Boy Racer type, but then again you couldn't really say Scoobynet is the same as Kenwood
Something small, but at the same time smart and sleek (something along the lines of the SIDC sticker ). A good one could possibly be 'Scoobynet Impreza'?
And to Ian Cook - Thankyou i realise that now - my mistake. The topic this leads me to think now is: Why am I a member of SIDC? It would be better being a member of Scoobynet? From a personal view SIDC is great, but everything i see revolves around Scoobynet as for meets, reference to problems , talk with other memebers (i,e Community ). I haven't really benefited from being a member at all except for getting a sticker, a tax disc holder and a copy of truegrip every now and again. It just seems everything i joined SIDC for is what i get with Scoobynet.
I don't want to cause any disruptions or anger towards anyone and apologise to everyone if this does, It's just something that has sprung to mind.
Ian

Yeah, a sticker is a great idea - I often wonder when I see Scooys if they're on the bbs. Please though, something tasteful eh? How about a smallish window sticker with the Scoobynet logo and web address on?

I have often thought about this...

When flashing a scooby, it would be cool if you could tell that they are a ScoobyNet reader.

Maybe we could develop a special wave!!! (I know it's sad, but it could be a giggle).

Cheers

Simon

Sad I know, but if we are going to do a sticker, what about trying to licence a Scooby Doo image (to match my keyring ) or would it cost too much??

Hehe!

I was thinking about pricing up some really high quality ScoobyNet keyrings?

They could then be sold to help support the site.

What do you think?

Cheers

Stickers are a great idea, and I'm sure my mate Pete would be able to offer us a great deal on anything anyone wanted doing.
I personally think a little circular tax-disc size thingy is a good idea.

Stef.

How about "bbs.scoobynet.co.uk" in white letters across the top of the rear window (full width)? Too Max Powerish?

I think the across the top sticker works well. Anything smaller and you can't really see it.

Good place too as the back window is where most people will see it

Hi all,

Having read the posts regarding Scoobynet stickers.I too am not one for plastering my motor with stickers,having only the obligatory and farily discreet SIDC sticker and an SWRT sticker in the back window.I would, however ,proudly have my Sport wear a tasteful sticker to show my allegiance to the Scoobynet.Perhaps there should be a recognised place for it to go, like bottom off-side corner of front windscreen, so as to be easily spotted by passing Scoobys.

Viva Scoobynet!


Steve

Ian Cook - I think the point was that your profile still lists you as Admin.

As slogans or statements go, how about something along the lines of "Scooby owners do it on all fours (x4's)" or "do it on all fours (x4's) at scoobynet.co.uk" ?? The (x4's) is just a suggestion for an alternative way of writing the "four" part of the statement.

So what do you reckon crap or what??

I'm for the big stickers idea, as long as it's not too "Kenwood".

If we were to make the sticker pink (a la STi badge colour) and all place it in the same position (off-side bottom or top corner would be fine by me) then it would add a little zest to seeing another scoob, though I hardly see any others anyway down here in the land of the crinklies.
When I had my Cosworth I had it service at Brooklyn (highly regarded in the RSOC) and they put a discrete Brooklyn sticker in the top corner of the screen. I went there for so long I ended up with two - for long service (and empty pockets) I suppose.

I think the logo and slogan would be the best...

Please... no cheesy comedy slogans

Great!

My slogan immortalised on every Scoob

I'm all for it, though being able to read it head on at a closing speed of >120 may be a bit difficult

I think you might need the url though, or would that just cause all the Max Power types to come on here and cause trouble?

Chris

Hey there,
So what's the story? Are we going to have a sticker or not? and if so, how is it going to be organised?
