I really don't understand what the issue is here. The facebook page can easily co exist with the forum. It is good to have the choice. Is there anyone on the forum that isn't also on facebook? Surely there is no need to be worried as we are the same people. I'm not on Fcebook, or at least I wasn't until a lurker copied and pasted one of my posts; seems like I'm not permitted to have an opinion or a right of reply to assorted remarks as my later posts don't seem to have been taken from where they were meant to be posted to where they were not meant to be, so to speak.

Just haven't got round to closing it, haven't been on it for months. Some of Catherine's concerns about your privacy on Facebook are justified. As an example, remember a couple of years ago when I quit this forum? Of course a couple of days later I came to my senses and re-joined. Well, anyway, at the same time I also quit Facebook. Deleted my account. Funny thing, when I re-joined Facebook all my information and pictures were still there! How could that be if I deleted my account? And I don't mean the picture of me that were on other people's pages, I mean stuff that was just in my account... So good luck all of us if we decide to abandon Facebook completely - they will have lots of data and pics to keep!

Of course you meet new people and that's a good thing but a fair few manage to maintain two or more forum memberships - in particular Ginnie and a few others of our members. In fact, I'm a member of MANY forums Catherine! -Apollohoax (countering claims the Moon landings didn't happen) -Bad Astronomy and Universe Today -Sickthings (an Alice Cooper forum) -Canadian Guitar Forum -Beat Gear Cavern (a music and Beatle related forum) -Bass Guitars forum -Harmony Guys forum -Turntable forum -the SAHB Yahoo group Now, having said that, most of them I rarely visit. 95% of my activity is here and on Facebook.

I still don't see what the issue is. There is a facebook page that we all except Penny and Catherine go on and then there is OUR FORUM that doesn't get used as much as before. What is the problem?

Do keep up, L'il Buddie!! There is no problem, unless you would view this as one.....which I don't really........ I posted a post on here. That post was essentially about disloyalty and deleting the account to then set up page on Facebook and dredge up all the same old stuff all over again, rather than just stay here or maintain both accounts. The more the merrier mayhap, however, each new forum or page just further dilutes the small concentration of SAHB fan input, although it also may reach a wider group in the long run. Also that Roadworm joined us here and before deleting his account, as it happens shortly before he died, sent all of his collection to Chester the Cat, who, when TK was on holiday, deleted his account and set up SAHBfans on Facebook. That original post, it seems, drew responses from people on Facebook who don't know me; had it not been nicked from here in the first instance those responses would not have been posted; I further posted on here but that post was not put on Facebook, so you have the folks who don't know me from Adam and the flat written word - usually not read or comprehended properly and we know that will lead to ill formed response and opinion and any right to reply was not granted. The Facebook page is now private, rather defeating the object of the excercise: not long before you'll have to roll up one trouser leg, wear a leather apron and practice unusual handshakes. (no offence intended to anyone who is part of a group that does these things - or outsiders think you do! )(other groups are available) The forum could exclude lurkers by making it impossible to read or post without first registering and logging in. I have always said that lurkers are welcome, the forum isn't everyone's cup of tea and I still say so; I didn't expect my post to get nicked by one though. Scott has had more to say on this non matter and seems to think now that I'm an unhappy party - of course, since he knows me not at all, he's wrong. The last time I checked, anyone can go on any site or whatever of their choice and that goes for Penny and for me too. I have, since its inception, received four invitations to join SAHBfans on Facebook. I just don't "do" Facebook. See, Pete? No problem.....................but on the private Facebook you've been requested to keep the noise down, lest the unhappy party should moan. OOOOOOOOH! WOE!!!!! WOE IS MEEEEEEE!!!!OOOOOOOO mooooaaaaaannnnnnnn!!!!!I'm as happy as a clam and not much given to moaning, life's too short, so don't keep the noise down on my account, crank it up and let the world hear your SAHB stories (again) ah, perhaps not quite the world, just the 171 members of the private group and possibly just a few lurkers.

Thats a great post Catherine, not very often i agree with you. lol. f**k it im having my say on this other forum... I joined and posted as you do, the majority on there are on here, quite a few arseholes too, mainly the same ones who have driven people away from this forum. Too much of a "click" going on, if they dont like you or your face doesnt fit you are fucked ie me. I was having my usual daft debates on there and serious ones as well, when i just happen to say to TK out of the blue in the middle of a thread "what pets you got?" he then puts on the next post "not funny that comment" You can guess what happens next in this childish petty little click of theirs DELETED/HISTORY/GONE/f**k OFF MARK... fuckin bairns. Also before i dissapear in to the blue yonder for a few more years, quite a few members on THAT forum messaged me to say that THEY were out of order to do to me what they did. I did not swear or call them Jocks as that is so wrong isnt it, well f**k them, f**k your little click on your closed shop FB forum. Like Catherine says SAHB should be shared not deleting and picking your members who have an opinion. This forum beats it hands down, i wont be back but i wont be deleting my account lol. Craigie is still a top man and sends his love to all the nice ones on here.... hes still a big puff and cant drink much lager mind..... TOODLE PIP !!

I choose not to be on Facebook but a former member from here chose to put one of my posts on the SAHBfans on Facebook page - mind it's busied the page up a bit, even if the majority of the responses are from folks who don't know me and consequently are posting from a blind man's point of view.
A few good home folks understand what I initially had to say but only a very few; it seems that they, apparently like you, Pete have neglected to read and comprehend or grasp what's been said and /or meant.

In an odd sort of way, it's good to see you back McCrookster and I'm pleased that you felt you could come back and voice your opinion - as far as I'm aware, that is still one of the points of a forum and/or social network site.
Yes you got folks' dander up but that's just the way you are - you gotta bait until they bite, that's how you have some of your fun but some folks are not comfortable with that.
I didn't even mind (much) being alikened to your Gypsy and referred to as an old dog.
You're funny and controversial but do dance a bit near the flames sometimes and just mibbes our wee forum is, in the main, to gentle for that.
Karma for coming back from time to time and again today, I'm sorry to hear you say you won't be back again; all groups have cliques, it's the way of the world.
All the best and big hugs to Craigie Deeeeeeeeee
