So to Pirate's "social experiment", if you're on FB or Twitter now (is there some abbreviation for Twitter? Like Twit?) is there a sailing site/page you frequent often?
And for what purpose (social engagements, news/info, smack?)
Perhaps the instant media (FB, instagram, etc) is good for the "live" regatta stuff (and the debautchery at the parties) since people can follow almost real-time ( I recall the pain of waiting for updates on the forum as to who's leading which leg)?
But the forum for it's breadth and wealth of information... where folks have more time to develop thoughts, search, etc...?
Am I starting to get this right?
And have you seen Phill's boat building project in the F-boat sub forum? Holy crap that's cool...
I didn't believe that forums were on the way out but after a little research, it's apparently happening all over the network of tubes for a variety of reasons. On the other hand I can probably list several major contributors that have left these forums in a personal huff that likely spilled over from the political threads (which have nothing to do with the topic of this forum).
...And Phil desperately needs a blog.
