    Facebook Presence

    I know this has been brought up before, but I really think Facebook would be a great place for forum members to show pics of our gear and ourselves, videos and audios of songs. It can be a closed group so that only forum members will be allowed to join.

    I could serve as a moderator on the page if someone will be admin and get it started.

    It'd be fun. I don't know what many of you look like.

    Re: Facebook Presence

    I deleted my facebook. The site is garbage and Zuckerberg is garbage. It's literally just an ads platform now.

    Also their HR department is pathetic; I've been contacted 3 times in the last 6 months after telling them I would NEVER work for them (something I decided when I actually agreed to interview with them years ago). But then I guess when your offer acceptance rates for new grads tanks from >80% to 40% in two years and you directly contributed to it being much harder to get people in on H1-Bs it's important to constantly harass anyone who works in ML just in case one of us is desperate.

    You guys are free to have fun, but FB should get nuked.

    I think it’s worth a try. The Rickresource forum is quite quiet but their FB group is really well attended.

    I offer myself to help too.

    I sent in a request to join the Fender Forever page on Facebook, and they never approved me for joining. They're either really slow about it on FB or they just don't want to let me in. Haha

    Make the group, Willie. We’ll join. It’s just a TFF appreciation group, I don’t think the site owners will mind anyway. We have several members who are pretty active on FB.

    Chuck Smith is the only Admin - but it looks like an older account - don't know if he checks that one often or not. Sounds like a new one would be just the right thing to do!

    I keep all my gear photos on facebook and use those to post on all the forums I visit. I used photobucket when it was free but when they clamped down I dropped them and put everything on FB.

    So, after talking to Willie this morning we figured maybe it’s actually better to hop in Chuck’s group and get together there...

    Willie and I are already there. Join us, if you aren’t there yet.

    That explains all the requests lately. I haven't been there in a while, I'll be more diligent.
