Facebook, love it or hate it?.

[Guest]

Facebook is a tool. If you use it for what YOU want it for, it is well worth it. There is nothing on Facebook that says you have to follow individuals that you don't want to. If you don't want to see who is having a coffee or who is having a dump then don't, I certainly have no interest in them.


However don't just dismiss what can be a useful modelling tool and resource just because others use it for what they want. You may be surprised how much serious stuff there is out there. I am finding tons of stuff on 1/35 figure painting and diorama building. I repeat, it does not replace forums like this one, this is a totally different thing.


And, if you get to meet other modellers and chat, is that a bad thing? Most of us do this hobby in isolation so any channel that allows me to be in contact with like minded people is good to me.

only use Facebook through our modelling club, that's all I use it for after all the crap u see in the news about social media I keep well clear of it.

I have a FB account and link to a lot of modelling pages and well as poltical, economics, news and business pages, not to mention friends, business associates etc. That makes it a real mix up of stuff so your idea having more than one account for each matter of interest seems a good idea. I do hate all the dross you get on FB, pictures of your breakfast and all that crap!!!

I'm the same as dubster have an account but hardly use it, the missus though she's on it all the time, and gleans loads of info from it, she like I mini detective.

I have in the past used Face. Book and some of these. Other so called freindly chatty things but at the end of the day they are a waste of time and effort and I'm 47 ( no use for them )


My ( family ) say it's a brilliant way of staying in contact ......,,, what a load of tosh that is ( today's recipe, look at me making a fool of myself etc etc etc.


Maybe I'm getting too old but my wife agrees it's a load of rubbish


Facebook is not for me


( however I have followed SMS before )

Never been on it, doesnt interest me in the slightest, the only dealings i have had with it is people telling me theyve had a fallout over something trivial they said on facebook and someone took exception to it. It sounds like there is some useful stuff on there but this forum has all i need personally. Btw i had ham egg and chips for tea and ive just been for a poo

I had a bacon and mushroom omelet and I will be having a poo just after drinking my mug of tea then it's back to the bench for an hour or two. Not doing much, just going through the motions


It does seem odd that most of the replies are against it for exactly the reasons I suggested that it needs not be used for rather than what it can be usefully used for, hey ho

Ralph, on the left hand side, somewhere, you should see Groups. Click on that and then in the search ' find friends' box type 'Scale Model Tutorials and Guides'. This is a closed group which means someone will have to accept you, doesn't take long. This is a good safe group, and I am in it. This will be a good start. Remember, any group you join or page you 'like' can be left or unliked so there is no worries

Just joined up Thanks

I had an account and oddly enough I just signed on for the first time in years... then signed right off. I have relatives on there and some group interests, but the groups get repetitive. As far as family members go, I tried something really off the wall the other day... I called her. It's my only aunt on me pop's side and wanted to ring her up about something. Had a nice chat and that was it. No muss, no fuss. Much better than typing crap out, and never once did we talk about where we ate breakfast that morning, and I didn't bomb her with cute, bunny pics.


So as far as Facebook goes... no thanks. Had an account and ditched it. One less distraction in an already way too hectic life. Dumping Facebook is one more step in simplifying my life.

So would it be fair to say that's your Number One priority then Graham?
