http://www.facebook.com/BudgetLightForum

With the admin's permission I've created a facebook page for the site.

The page should help to spread our addiction, and be easy for everyone to access.

I'm hoping people will allow us to post some of there reviews on there?

And keep an eye out on the site for news on group buys and the like.

http://www.facebook.com/BudgetLightForum

 

Be sure to hit that like button and spread the news, lets be the biggest flashlight page of Facebook.

Anybody willing to add, help in anyway just post a reply and I'll get in touch.



EDIT: XTAR have delivered! Competition on it's way...

Just to let you know, I'm adding a few images to the page later.

The likes of foy and his macro shots may wish to contribute? Or anyone else? (some of you with those exotics?)

To prevent any possible complaints, issues if users link/ post the images they would like up in this thread that would be great.

Last thing I'd want is any mis communication problems that could lead to people being offended, (stealing images is DinoDirects job isn't it?)

well spotted, and changed to hobby and industry, as I think we have both here...although the industry tends to lurk rather than post.

 

Edit: Nice to see it's growing, remember to post anything here you'd like up on there.

Also if people could acknowledge they've liked the page? seeing as no one uses there real names here I have no idea who's clicked like. (not that it matters, just may help)

Maybe you could create some

Maybe you could create some photo albums to get a bit of structure, because otherwise it will get messy right away. Like battery type, beamshots, customs,...?

Done what I can, will add

Done what I can, will add beamshots and customs as people provide.

Hopefully labeling the batteries should be enough...otherwise with all the battery types that would be a huge amount of albums for just a few images in some.

Plus I'd best go take photos of my own batteries now..

 

 

EDIT: I'm off to bed, added all the content I can of mine, link me to threads/images over night that you own and I'll add them tomorrow.

Have to admit, I was expecting atleast one person to want their stuff up....

 

(sorry for going on, but I've noticed there isn't really any competition on Facebook and we could easily be the biggest flashlight related page)

 

What do people think of the welcome page? I only made it up quick but does it go with the site?

Well we didn't make it to the 50, maybe we can do that by the end of this week?

(and yes, this is a shameless bump for a good cause)

 

edit: everytime this gets bumped or to the top the page gets like 3 more likes, lets all reply and get a huge page.

I see CPF has a facebook page as well, created around the same period of the BLF page. It has 2 more members... we can't let that happen Smile do we?

Thanks for the heads up.  I'll contact him tonight. Wink

BTW...how come we can't see the list of FB members that like the BLF page on FB?  It just says 47 like it but shows no list.

Think it has to have more people like it before you can see them, but I'll look into it now.

 

Think it's amazing the CPF page was created 3 days after this, seems a little odd atleast.

Yeah, it does.  You'd think they'd have had one a lot sooner than we would considering their age and number of members.

All I'm saying right now, is a SERIOUS WOW from XTAR's end, I can't encourage anyone on here enough to hit like on this page. And to even consider registering for Facebook just for what is coming.

 

XTAR have, for me, confirmed that they are the only battery company to even consider.

Tried that first, looks odd to me. Plus with facebook not being Facebook in their own logo it just doesn't seem right to me.

 

Edit: waiting on confirmation from XTAR, they have some work to do at their end.

Less than a week now, I think, until I can begin the big sign up programme.

 

I'd encourage everyone to keep an eye on this thread and the facebook page for all the details.

Thanks for the support, members of both focalprice and dinodirect have now liked the page.

XTAR have been amazing, and hopefully lots of members can benefit from this.

Anyone feel free to post information on lights on the page...or if you'd like images in one of the albums simply send me a pm.
