Is Facebook destroying sites like this?
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?

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.
|
Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

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 !

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

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.

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.... |

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!
