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.

Not necessarily Ron, new phase likely coming soon  - And just because you have changed doesn't mean the same as for others. |

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!

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!
