I am getting a feeling that Facebook has hurt fishing sites like SB (and others). It seems the number of good posts seems to be dropping. Is it me or is it just summer?

Its summer time.

You have to go into settings and diable email notifications, or if you look on the bottom of the notification you get there should be a unsubscribe link.

Larrys posts make me laugh ! Much better than the usual "whoa is me " whiners.

:confused: I didn't know this site was destroyed


maybe i should join this facebook site you speak of to see what I'm missing

The good thing with FB you can choose who to be friends with and who not.
My opinion, this site has run it's course !

The internet has ruined the internet. The Mayan calender prediction is coming to life.

It is hurting a bit plus a little bit of summer plus people's lives change. But I have a few things in mind :tooth: I'm working on.

Thanks gents ;)

Skippy will work for Twinkies. :rotflmao:

I have to confess that after 40+ years, my interest in fishing is at an all-time low, but I still breeze through here once or twice a day.

Despite the great run of fish in the Canal so far this year, I still think the bass are in trouble, and I'm giving them a break. And working on improving myself, health-wise.

Facebook is just another means of "dumbing-down" the population, plain and simple.
People tend to refer to Facebook like it's a "place" to go to to meet people, when it is more like a black hole that removes you from society.
Those that spend most of their time online doing things other than work are literally losing their intelligence. Knowlegde and social skills are being replaced with "inst-facts" and online friends, which removes you from what makes you intelligent......the ACT of learning!

I REFUSE to join Facebook or any online gathering site because it removes me from actually going out to meet people, removes moral barriers (people say whatever they want thinking that no one else will know what they said.) and in my view, turns people into self-described cyber kings!

No, Facebook may not be destroying this site, but it's creating a generation of cyber-morons that won't have a clue about fishing or boating, which will start the ball rolling.

Thankfully there are plenty of intelligent people that still favor this site (as well as others) with their input and contributions.

Think about how many times you hear , or have heard younger people say "How did you do that?" while doing something you learned about fishing as a kid?

OK, the soapbox is free now!

never gonna see me on Face book.. my space or any other clown social media site..I get all the enterrainment and news about things that matter here and I even have made a few friends to boot..
F.B.s just another fad that will fade in time...

F.B.s just another fad that will fade in time...

Wall St. Thinks it already has......

the fact that people like Joe are not on facebook just speaks volumes for why it will never destroy sites like this..
If you are new in the fishing game and are looking to learn and aren't on these forums you are really doing yourself a disservice.

My OLDER brother is on Facebook, and when he's talking with mutual friends on the phone he'll say things like "Oh, Tim's not on Facebook" like it's some "special" club with exclusive membership perks.

I then correct him and say "I don't have Facebook, I have Phonebook, so I can CALL MY FRIENDS instead of sharing every worthless piece of drivel from my daily life online!!!

That usually shuts him up!

I still love it here! Its still great! However F-B allows me to rant un-edited and only include those I choose to include.....and if I have a problem with you....buh-bye!! :uhuh:

Im pretty sure this site started going downhill the moment I joined.

That's not me! :uhoh:

That's my evil twin brother, bent om world domination (or at least surf and shore domination) :drevil:

Of course I didn't mean this site, because we spend most of our time on or near the water!

I don't play that chit homey! A career in education has kept me away from it. That and XBOX Live. Too many of my kids are in there. But this place is like my own personal oasis. Well mine and all of you guys that are reading this.

WOW! You mean I'm not the only person on this planet that refuses to join Facebook? I don't want, have, or need a smartphone, so I doubt they would let me join anyway :)

Incivility kills memberships. Spewing BS online that you'd think twice about in public or in person. Having to explain yourself to someone on keyboard steroids. Circular arguments and bickering. Just plain rudeness and vulgarness. All that without being able to erase those who offend make some think twice or ten times about posting anything.

I'm on FB......Because my Kids are on FB.....I'll be damned if they are going to be on a Social Network site and I'm not going to know all about how it works.

Too many Weirdos out there

ie: delete the political forum.
if people want to whine they can go to the "other place"

Facebook is not going away unfortunately. Honestly I can't even keep up with the things I need to block when goin on there now. If I see one more inspirational hallmark card quote in pastel, or a plate of someone's crappy food I'm going to drop kick my laptop out of the window. facebook was cool, now its just ruined. I hope it doesnt ruin this site:confused:

It's fun to see what people you've known in the past are doing without actually having to talk to them.

Stock was trading at or below $20.00 yesterday. The love affair with the potential for an unlimited advertising platform has fallen through. The Z man knew how to steal the idea from two other dum chits, but can't figure out how to make it work publically. I hope it falls through the floor.

S-B has to much Grit to be destroyed by a cheap outfit
like facebook. Facebook sucks and S-B rules

ANYTHING to go with them Twinkies ? :uhuh:

Nope i like my Twinkies straight up!

5/0 enlightened me to the fried twinkie couple years ago on the ice. possibly saved my life. redic

Screw the Fried Twinkies...Deep Fried Oreos is the way to go :drool:

Im allergic to chocolate so i substitute the Oreo for a Twinkie, i have heard of this new fangled crazy of a deep fried Twinkie you speak of but never tried it. I also heard of deep friend ice cream but im lactose so we dont want to bring the end of the world any closer.

I notice you have been hitting the bike hard good for you Mike, you only have one body and life so you might as well take care of it.

I have not been seriously fishing since last year :( It's a bummer but so many things in life get in the freikin way....:uhuh:
