TOP becomes a little more Canadian: TOProtege.ca / TOPclub.ca

[Mike_Moss]

TOP becomes a little more Canadian:
TOProtege.ca / TOPclub.ca
NEW .ca domain / MORE friendly with our non-Protege members

We've taken a couple of steps in the past year towards becoming a little bit more Canadian:

The first step is that we're officially using the TOProtege.ca URL for all current and future TOP gear (stickers, t-shirts, member cards, etc.)
This was done in an effort to ensure that as the Club expands, we keep our Canadian roots well known.

The second step is the launch of TOPclub.ca!
TOProtege was brought together by this specific vehicle and many friendships and bonds have been forged through it. As any current or past member can tell you, there is definitely something special about TOP. The quality and camaraderie of this Club's members has been an example for many other clubs in the Greater Toronto Area as well as across Canada and even around the world.

Despite the Protege not being sold for seven years, TOP keeps going strong and growing. Many members have moved on from the Protege to other vehicles but are still active in the TOP community.

For those, we wish to welcome them to TOPclub.ca - we hope you remain part of the Club, rock the decals on your vehicle no matter what the model or brand. We've created a General Automotive forum (http://www.toprotege.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=88) for you and have all the same gear (t-shirts, decals, membership cards, etc.) available.

We maintain the roots of TOP and realize it is linked to the Protege but we are growing into the future as one of the TOP enthusiast clubs in Canada.

We have just received our first round of decals! Post will be up soon! T-shirts to follow!

Additionally, we encourage anyone who has ever had any help with the forum to become a Donating Member (http://www.toprotege.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54713).

If you've been to any meets last year, pick up a 2010 TOP Calendar! It's filled to the brim with professional candid shots in a layout that is sure to put your current calendar to shame!

If you have any questions, feel free to PM myself or any Officer.

Best Regards,
Mike M.
TOP - President

Thats great. Its sad to see everyone's protege getting traded off and sold.. but this helps me believe TOP will be around for well after our proteges are sitting in the junk yard!

[madeinhk]

my protege will never see the junk yard >=)

Does this mean that the www.Toprotege.com (http://www.Toprotege.com) wont work n emore or will it just be hot linked? Glad to see this step forward as this was my first Forum/car club I belonged to it would have been sad to see such a great place just vanish.

Great to hear TOP FTW!

If you're trying to make it more Canadian, why not have toprotege.com/topclub.ca/toprotege.ca ALL redirect to toprotege.ca? (Right now it just goes to toprotege.com).

[RicecookerP5]

^I'm sure it will be done. Right now it looks like dns was setup to redirect to the existing site.

Where can i get a t-shirt? :)

[cruisinblackp5]

I'm pretty stoked to be rocking TOPClub.ca stickers soon on my car. I hope to get back into a pro soon but till then I'm glad I can still rock some stickers and as above I could use some new TOP Ts.

[mazda_gurl]

Question that I thought of.

If we are looking to expand the club, why didn't we go TOmazda.com?

I think that's so pro

[Kocakola]

I think the idea was to incorporate people who moved on to different vehicles that frequent the boards. Although alot of you might have moved on to other proteges, alot of us moved elsewere. I'd be less eclined to put a TOPmazda.com sticker on my car as its poserific.

then you would be in "competion" if you will with TM3 5 and 6. I mean they are all tied together somewhat, but its good to keep things seperate at the same time.

[Mike_Moss]

Also, we wanted to keep TOP in there.

TOPclub is perfect

[Laserbluechic]

^Lets take TOPclub as an example. Change what TOP stands for.. which currently, is Toronto Protege, or the likes.

If TOP stood for The(or Toronto) Original Protege.. then TOPclub would work for those who still have Proteges and those who have moved on... Just a thought...

[Mike_Moss]

Ro, that's what we did. :)
