Re: FACEBOOK is killing good forums
Just my 2c....
I got off Facebook because too many talk it up on there....
Unfortunately it is just part of life and even here on the forums you'll get a few clowns who feel they are entitled something.
Problem with any form of social media be it forums or Facebook, unfortunately you can't fully express emotion and therefore sometimes leads to confusion, and railroaded discussions.
For the vast majority of the time, I'd say forums are a better way to gain and share knowledge

Re: FACEBOOK is killing good forums
I'll take that as sarcasm... But this goes to prove my point you can't always tell who is serious and who is kidding around.
Either way it's the internet and you have to take things with a grain of salt at times.....

It certainly does prove your point as I assumed it was a compliment to you!GONE FISHING wrote:I'll take that as sarcasm... But this goes to prove my point you can't always tell who is serious and who is kidding around.

I was on a forum called Tacklebox. It was a national forum and was going rather well. For whatever reason, admin lost interest and never appeared. Slowly but surely the mods lost interest and then they never appeared. So what you had were members (those that stayed on at least...many of us bailed out) who had nobody to moderate them. It was a jungle in there! So the morons took over! In this case it was an inactive administrator who killed the forum. Same with Fb pages...have a good team looking after them doing pest control and they are good.
As long as admin and mods keep the morons in check, nothing will ruin a forum. To be honest, this thread title would be more accurate if it said 'out of control idiots ruin good forums and Fb pages'.
cheers

Re: FACEBOOK is killing good forums
There you have it Jim, it's hard to interpret the message sometimes through words alone. So if the above was a compliment I was mistaken, but that is a prime example.
Anyhow it's good to see that this forum for the most part is actually quite well maintained and most of the contributions are valuable.
Now... Onto more pressing issues.... When will this wind let up and allow a decent session on the water?

Re: FACEBOOK is killing good forums
Very true Jim, I'm in a few facebook groups and for the most part they are excellent but there is a few that don't get moderated or are very loosely moderated and it's not long before they go south.Mutley and Scruffy wrote:Same with Fb pages...have a good team looking after them doing pest control and they are good.

It's certainly a tough job to be a moderator and one I'm not envious of but a good moderator/team of moderators is essential for an online medium like this.
