Forum activity & Social Media
« on: Thursday | 12. September 2024 | 14:33 hrs »
Going back in time the forum had a lot of activity on builds, tips, new models etc.  However lately it’s been very quiet in fact apart from Ron’s updates very little of note.  I assume that this coincides with the rise of social media such as FBook which has become the go to media.  Has any thought been given to starting a FB Deans Marine Model Group?

Just a thought

Hi
 It seems to be a common thread of late with most forums,  f/book o k, easy and quick to put it on there, but to follow a build thread can be hard work,
 If someone wants to take on the job it will be most welcome, but if we run it, then it is "fixed" and crooked and not honest opinions, but some of the trolls on the forums are no better, but they seemed to have moved over as well with there vitriol and hate ?

Yes trolls are an issue although keeping a group private helps to a degree.  I’d be happy to start one and admin it if Deans (Ron) didn’t object.

Hi
You will be most welcome to start one, hopefully it will be popular and the trolls ( we know who you are ) will be treated with the contempt they deserve as the pathetic cowardly bullies they are.
 Thank for the offer much appreciated, look forward to following it
 Regards
 Ron
