Irritated

[Mark Daiute]

You will forgive me while I get something off my chest:

I don't know how many years I have been here, maybe 15, maybe even more. I can not begin to repay everyone for what I have learned on Culver's shooting pages and I am grateful for all the folks I have met here.

My issue is Facebook. Facebook is easy, it's easy to create discussion groups over there and it is easy to post photos over there. Discussion Groups are arising faster than my hairline is receding.

Facebook was not even around when I started here on Culver's.

They do not have the knowledge base we have here, I keep directing people here from facebook. Facebook has more experts than the heavens have stars. On a few happy occasions I have come into contact with some of our members out there in the wild facebook world.

I don't like it.

There. That's off my chest.

I do not even have a facebook account and refuse to get one.

[Dick Hosmer]

I have one but almost NEVER use it.

I belong to a couple but find it frustrating also. I only post on one long range shooting group. The milspec stuff was so off base I couldn’t even participate and I know just enough to be dangerous, but the crap on their is crazy.

[Major Tom]

I have one but almost NEVER use it.

Same here. We have friends who I swear spend the whole day on facebook submitting worthless crap!

[PWC]

And we have 'friends' here on this site who spend all day submitting worthless political crap. If you look at the 'new posts' all the action is on the 2nd Ammendment forum....This is a shooting sports website as the Major set up. I began here in '84 and learned lots from Gus Fisher, Hard Dog, the Major, and too many more to mention let alone remember. The Major died so he has an excuse; where did all the rest go? I believe the trolls have taken over, at lease we have the ability to 'block'

Suckerberg is a big buddy of the Kenyan Bastard. Why give the NSA an even easier way to spy on you?

[Dan Shapiro]

Having worked for them back in the day, iIt isn't NSA spying on you. It's the liberals who run such websites. But I have to admit; The Obamassiah weaponized the ATF, IRS, DOJ and FBI.

Question: Why are Democrats opposed to releasing the Committee report on the FISA warrant obtained by the FBI, utilizing "the Steele Dossier"? Aren't Democrats all about 'transparency'?

[Mike]

Hi, What's Facebook? regards, Mike

[Kragrifle]

The NSA under Michael Hayden is not the NSA directed by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet’s creation.

[Mark Daiute]

I simply hate that foolish faceplant gets so much traffic and I keep directing people here where the knowledge is.

feel you pain on that , but it happens to many a forum,

Jouster is nothing like it used to be, but then again, who is?

my brother lives on facebook, and uses it to get firearm info,
some good, lots of BS,

I stay off it, and hit the forums (here, sigforum, and mostly gunboards)

never been on facebook. I thought they were antigun? there are a lot of great knowledgeable people on gunboards. and the great war forum is a good reference forum for arms of that period.
too many trolls and b.s.ers around on this board anymore.

[Kragrifle]

Guys, this forum is what you make it. I have found some really valuable information and parts right here. That is why I plan to try to get more involved with posting when I think I have information or items of possible interest to others.

[psteinmayer]

I go on FB to connect with old/good friends (like you and I talk there Mark)... but leave the political BS, so called "Expert" opinions, and other crap aside. I've seen quite a lot of miss-information regarding Krags, Trapdoors, and Arisakas on FB... and it's staggering what some will believe... or what some (so called "Experts") will post! If I need a serious discussion regarding TDs, Krags, 1903s, Arisakas... or anything else shooting related, I'll always come here to Culvers, or KCA in the case of Krags.
