Time for change.

[Steve H]

Its is time for a change, the site activity has dropped to next to nothing so clearly something needs to be done to keep a community of Thumper owners together. In an attempt to address this I have created a Facebook group which can be found HERE
Facebook provides a much easier way to interact with others, its easier to posts pictures from phones or your PC and you can opt into email notifications. Messages from all your groups are all centralised in one place.

I would encourage you to sign up for the group.

Its good to have the Facebook site up and running

[Richard]

Excellent idea.

I left Facebook because they bombarded me with **** about people l barely knew and more to the point don't give a hoot about in a day to day sense. Talk bikes yes, but....

Steve is having chips for tea
Mary who you met once ten years ago is now a tenth level ninja at Facebook game of empires
Bob who you hated at school but who bombarded you with friend requests and occasionally goes in your local has invited you to join his Morris dancing group.

Unless it has changed and you can switch this rubbish off I won't be rejoining ( no offence intended).

So create a new account and dont 'friend' anyone, that way you only get the posts from groups you have joined.

Will sign up when get back home as not allowed to use works computer for face book. despite the Trust having its own Chief Exec facebook page etc. have wondered if this might happen eventually as most other sites have facebook involvement.

Tis a great shame, I have enjoyed this site since the very early days, I have no intention of being involved with Facebook, so when this site goes I will sadly go with it.

There is an SMF Mod which 'may' link the forum and Facebook, which would mean the site is retained,  when I get time I will look into it.

I for one would prefer to keep the forum, as it's easier to access and will not get mixed up with all of the rubbish on FB

True, but there is little point to maintaining a forum that no-one is using !

[tj63]

At a quick glance, 38 topics had at least one post in April, most of those more than one.

They're not exactly blistering stats, but it doesn't seem to be its last legs yet.

As for Faceache, you won't find me on there either.

Totally Agree !

Aye SteveH,

"Pussbook" as is colloquiol for "Facebook" up here.    Seems apt for some of the comment etc! It doesn't inspire me with glee, but if push came to shove, I would probably use it, with less regularity than the forum.

The forum is like the well worn, leather club chair, you can slump into at the end of a day with a wee dram and find a bit of comfort. Whilst "Pussbook" can be, but not always, similar to early morning Radio1, which I have 'stumbled' across in early morning radio retuning. Mindless gob***** through a cacophany of blasphemous, introspective, sexist rapping.

May I take this opportunity to "Thank you" for your perseverence in maintaining the forum all these years and hope that you may see fit to maintain it a while longer, rather than it falling off it's perch like a "Norwegian Blue"! 

My thanks, Bill.

Hello

Just saw this.  Things have been a bit nuts down here of late.  Still thumping tho!

Steve, I agree with your point re the stats. It is a bit quiet......

However, I also won't join a fb group, tho I do have a profile and it is a useful tool to keep in touch.

I prefer separate forums, not sure why! A lot of the delorean guys use their fb groups, and the benefit there is that it is really multi national.  But I havent joined, and the dmc forums suffice for me.

Just my 2p.  Cheers for now, and thank you steve for all your work.

Love you all!

A

Ps. First time I need some help,  opinion, bits, or favours,  I would probably join the fb group in the absence of a tc forum!!
