Facebook

Hey everyone

I know a lot of people kinda don't want to share identities online, and I do respect that. But from experience having a couple of people from the forum on Facebook as well helps a ton - not only does it add an additional way of communicating if you need some help, but the Facebook chat offers an immediate solution to those who need quick help. Organising sales and shipping becomes a whole lot easier as well.

Another plus side is that we can also do a whole lot of more social stuff if we get to know each other better

If the mods are cool with it, can I share the link to my page to get the ball rolling?

Cheers

 

@SalmonAfrica I couldn't agree with you more. In actual fact, there is a TASA Facebook page where I know a lot of you are members already. Just need to go in there and invite everyone else.

Another great idea is to Load Skype onto your PC (Free download), and in your member profile, you can actually put your skype address in there. I've had many live chat's with people on skype!

 

Great idea! As far as i know im on the one on FaceBook, will check.

@Zoom iv seen a few members (Such as yourself) having the Skype icon but never online, maybe your post now will get people more interested and download it, i know i will!

 

Thanks Zoom, and yeah, Skype's not a bad idea either. As far as I remember this forum (Vbulletin) has a place in everyone's profile for a Skype address.

I'll fill in my Skype profile now, as well as a link to my Facebook page.

Just invited you, forgot to add my TASA name so its easy to id me. My FB name is "Kendall Boring Troy Rousseau" lol

 

Dude you keep opening your mouth to stick your foot in not my fault I am giving you a helping hand

 

Yay. Facebook page is cool. If you get invites from me........

 

What I mean is I don't mind having a conversation on Skype... most people know that I'm logged in all day, just set to invisible. The problem is that you land up with every Tom, Dick, and Jane saying Hello, How you, and not having any purpose to their conversation. I mean I told you I was fine yesterday didn't I?

 

Also take not I remove people who aren't active on facebook no use in having hundreds of friends and there but no one posts on each others walls. So dont take offense when I remove you as a friend.

 

@Firefly Not sure if i can use your 1st name but just trying to figure something out. is your initials MH?

 

Yep. that be me.

 

Hmmm, that's one way to boost a friend count! Now I just need to put a face to a forum name... Hmmm

 

Yea, I don't have pics of myself purposely on Facebook. Think My cousins have.....

 

Okay guys, I admit it, I'm an Old Fart, a refugee from the 60's! I'm still figuring out Google and Yahoo, barely glanced at IRC chat and ICQ.

Now you come with this "Facebook" and "Skype" thing!

*puff-puff* *pant* slow down a bit, give me time to get my breath back and to catch up!

Be joining you guys soon. :turtle:

 

I wont hold it against you if you could not operate IRC I have been using it since the late 90`s, I still find it more interactive than most instant messaging programs out there.

 

yea am a fan of IRC too - some clients are a bit wonky though so far mirc seams to work the best for me
