Instagram!

Post by Stevievee » Tue Jul 07, 2020 8:49 pm

After a discussion with Ian, it has been decided that it may be beneficial for the club to have an Instagram page. I have started the page this afternoon and it is proving quite popular, gaining near 100 followers in the first few hours. Ian has agreed to post details on the forum for people to add their own photos, advice and adventures, that can be posted on the page for others to view.
This is still in the early stages and more details will follow shortly, but I wanted to clarify that this is a genuine Bongo Fury Instagram page.

For anybody already on Instagram and interested please follow @Bongo_Fury_Official

Instagram is a strange place. But if it gets the message out there...... :D

I am only on there as a method of putting up my Bongo pictures, as since photobucket became awkward I thought it might be a way of sharing to forums but alas it doesn't seem to be. On the other hand if you want to see the three different sets of door speakers, different subs, cloth mx5 seats then leather heated I have fitted pop over and have a look 🚐
Thanks Steve and Ian for setting it up 🚐

For anybody not on Instagram, but wanting to show off their Bongo's, or give advice, hints or tips. Please email some photos (no more than 5 per post please) plus a caption and I will add these to the page. If you don't put a caption, I will add one myself. My email address is: [email protected]

For members already on Instagram, I am reposting (with author permission) some of the posts that I think are useful and interesting to others. If you have anything that you would like me to repost message me: @Bongo_Fury_Official

Due to copyright laws, please ensure that any photos you wish to post are your own.

Thanks
Steve

Good work Agent 22252! I have now posted an announcement in the Admin & Club Matters section, see viewtopic.php?f=4&t=77301

I'll also put the same message in the Guidance section.

Hi all
Whilst I can appreciate the merits of social media, I am afraid it's not for me, being in the minority I know, I am almost proud to say I dont have facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts. Sadly I fear these mediums may become the death of great forums such as this, those like me will either have to adapt or fall behind I guess.

No Faceache, Twatter, or owt else for me, but fair play setting it up, and I wish the new system well. 8)

I totally understand what you’re saying. I know a lot of people use the Facebook page and have moved away from this forum somewhat. I hope it doesn’t have a negative impact like that.

I don’t have Facebook or Twitter... I like Instagram as it more about photos and pictures... Give it a go, you might like it! We’ll drag you kicking and screaming, rather than leave you to fall behind!! Same goes for you Bob! :D

Same here, not my cup of tea.

I can't even click into the instagram photos to view them without having an instagram account :roll:
