Ah, OK, is everyone else having problems with that link?

 

Basically, if you go onto Facebook there's an Over Flanders Fields fan page, and I thought it was a cracking idea. Sorry if the link didn't work, and sorrier still that people aren't interested.

Nice idea, SRC. I'm not a face-booker tbh, but think its nice for those who are

[Slartibartfast]

Am in... and thew link worked great for me I must be doing it wrong lol

[Duce Lewis]

Hi src, nice idea!

But, like Baldric, I've never used Facebook

Suspect many of our ...erm middle age crowd (me included) here don't use FB

How is that an advantage over this forum?

I joined the group, but I don't think anyone will know me from Adam.

Hi themightysrc, it's a very nice thing. I didn't know about that. Do you know about the SimHQ OFF Forum and The Aerodrome Sim/games Forum? Some of us frequent those sites and share our thoughts and experiences there too. The more the better I say.

Well, it isn't essentially! However in terms of exposure, it's got thousands of times the reach of a specialist flight sim forum like CombatAce or SimHQ, to be fair.

That's nor fair on yourself, Siggi old chap: for a start, you're better dressed.

Good enough reason for me

I'll give it a go ...soon

Well I'm technically on Facebook by family request, but I avoid it like the plague and dispise it with a passion... what with people I barely new 15 years ago wanting to be my "friend" - and the ongoing lists of entries announcing that so-an-so just brushed their teeth and are now going watch a movie, or pictures of their dog with a ladies' bra on it's head... and 10 daily requests to join some mindless game or find out what kind of a animal I would be, etc, etc... I pretty much think FB could rightfully be considered an global-wide, cheerfully publically supported virus.

 

That given... an OFF Facebook fan page? Maybe Ive been a little hasty....

CW

[UK_Widowmaker]

I'm with you for the most part there CW.

It has it's uses though.

 

I have family dotted around the world, and it's a good way to keep in the Loop...but, yes...There is an awful amount of totally useless junk on there!

 

As for the people who have 300+ friends?...I don't think so somehow!..It seems to me it's to prove how popular they are!...funny really..I remove people from my list who have over 50 friends.

 

I 'culled' about 20 a while ago, reducing my contacts to about 15 or so.

 

Prior to removing them, I posted that "If you find yourself removed from my contact list, please don't take it personally..it's probably because I don't speak to you now..and haven't done for the past fifteen years....and there is a reason for that!"

 

F*ck them if they can't take a joke huh?
