Boards.ie Car Sticker

May as well have a thread for this. Put in your arguments for or against or just +1 if you want one.

This will probably get us nowhere but we can at least try again

I'll put you down for a +1 so?

I enquired years ago. Word from the office was a no, they didn't want them to be an identifier if the driver did something bold

A reg plate does that job already.

I'd actually have to look harder for a boards sticker than a reg to find someone.

Sure when I saw Max power in the m50 the other day it was cos his German plates stuck out

They don't want their brand on cars that could be acting the maggot is what I mean.

yet they don't mind it being on people that could be??? I just doesn't make logical sense.

That argument went down the drain when they did the t-shirt imo

+1 from me (personally I'd like a vinyl window sticker of just the boards logo)

Considering what some people are let post I reckon the not having the brand attached with acting the maggot ship has sailed




Id be a +1

+3 actually cos id want a few.

Or cyclists in Lycra that brake red lights as pedestrians cross.

I'm definitely interested.

What happens if a user gets banned?

Cienciano

Isn't there boards.ie cycling jerseys? If they have that, there's no reason to not have a car sticker. As for being associated with acting the maggot, sure car garages and radio stations have been giving out car stickers since year dot. You're not going to associate bad driving with 98FM listeners.

CianRyan

Didn't someone design a Forum 47 sticker last time we did this?
Nice and subtle but we'd know what it meant.

biko

Various merchandise comes up every few years.

I'd be for it. Something small and unobtrusive. Maybe the size of a tax disc.
Cycling peeps have jerseys, we should be able to have a sticker.

Mods will start an egg on spoon race to the posters house and the first one there gets to rip the sticker off the car

Exactly what I was thinking. A sticker that only fellow boards motors forum regulars would recognise.

And it should only be made available to members who've been on a while, with many posts in that forum. Not someone who has posted in here once or twice and thought ooh I want a sticker for my car too!

Now to convince Dav, Niamh and Nicola

YbFocus

Yeah go on +1

Bpmull

+1 I think its a good idea. It wouldn't have to have boards in big writing could be subtle so just members would know what they are.

Dr.Rieux

+1 I'd like one. A forum 47 one sounds cool

Yes I'd think that's a cool idea.

Good to know I'm not the only pedant that notices the forum numbers

YbFocus

Yep definitely the Forum47 sounds cool. Has a hitman ring to it

If it's subtle and doesn't have boards in big writing etc. Then I don't see why not.

I think forum 47 does the job.
It's a sticker that motor forum members will recognise but no one else will.

Personally I don't know if I want every person on the road saying ooh a boards member, but I do enjoy recognising other boards cars.

You can't really exclude new forum joiners as it would make them feel very unwelcome TBH. Maybe they should only be available at meets?

Oh god no. Just that they'd need to have a certain number of posts and be on here a while. (Maybe 30 posts in the forum and be on here a month)
If they have only 2 or 3 posts, and are only registered a week, they're hardly going to go to meets anyway.

Ah fair enough. I thought it was going to be some huge number of posts but that's grand. I hope that this gets approved now (even though it probably won't) Toyotafanboi could even make them for us! support local business etc

A significant number as in we know the poster kind of thing, not just some randomer who posts on after hours and here.
That's who I was thinking as well.

I'm on about how the sticker should just be for motor forum regulars, stops it getting out amongst the masses etc. where it has a higher chance of getting onto the car of a gob****e giving boards a bad name.
At least if you can see one acting the maggot, you know its a regular on here and the grief he'd get from being shamed.

I know, I was just having a moment.

It's my old age you see Easy to offend

I would never have a boards sticker, as when I'm driving at 160km on the M8 I don't want to be worrying about being shamed
