Wah! 1300+ post but still haven't sign up ah?...now where is that AK47 when u need one...
sorry but I have to make u a scapegoat...anyway my point is Statements such as freeloader, got BMW but...are just statement made by some during some frustrated situations and it's not meant to be across the board...as everybody is welcome ...but like I said to Andrew earlier if that is how he thinks abt not joining and his conscience is clear, so be it...nobodies got an AK47 up ur ass to say u must join...but at least we try to sell the idea...and thus the reason for this thread...to get some reasoning and at the same time to get some points across as to why one should join the club...not MUST!..but also as in any establishment trying to sell something certain terms and conditions are implemented so as its generosity is not abused..eg: Free samples are limited to one per customer and so on...A case in point was a situation in subway the otherday where there was a buy one free one offer...the terms was only 1 free for every single receipt if I'm not mistaken, so that means even if u order 10 u will still get only 1free...and if u still want another free u have to go join the que again ...And that's where the idea of after X amount of post is reached u need to register again.
what happens if we lose official tie-up with BMW? what would be the consequence? there would not be a bmw club malaysia anymore. while some of us might cry ourselves to sleep at night hugging our bmw car grants tight, the rest would prob say, 'Oh really ar, nav mind la, still can meet up tcss, look at men and their bmw cars'. we dont need official recognition from bmw to sit down and talk bmw.
the forum would become bimmerclubmalaysia, and ppl would still post, fight, post dirty hamsap pics of cars in various stages of undress. life still goes on with no changes.
but the club and forum is unfortunately, to most ppl, not the same thing. putting bmw tie-up to a forum means squat if the user is squatting in miri somehwere with no access to club activities. his 'Joy' is just to logon and see what mischief ppl like ramsing is instigating. asking him to pay rm300 to support something he doesn't ever see or use, might not be his cup of tea. but if he loves the idea of the club, and wants to support, then we'll see him in the blue on his own accord.
the point i'm trying to say is that with/without bmw tie-up, does not make a difference right now. that's why trying to argue on why ppl are not joining is a moot point. if its happening with weekly sponsored events for OMs like gymkhana, sepang track drives, club homo...i mean promo events, ktv parties to celebrate OM betiks...i mean birthdays, then its a different story. as someone pointed out earlier, our numbers are small, so dont expect much sponsorship/tie-ups unless there's something in return for the sponsors.
as BC mentioned, events are needed. the events to attract new members to be OM rests primarily, but not totally on the wings of the CM. although they all have their day jobs, but bearing office also has responsibilites, and i might be wrong, but woudl also include planning for membership drives thru events etc. i'm sure the CMs are doing best they can, on the little time they have, when not asking for car grants and locking threads
, so as much as we want, we cant have everything. i'm pretty have that we have the club and website, improvements there always is, but then again we have to be realistic as its not a full time job.
