    Subject: Re: Jim Metzger and N222JS
    From: Glenn Hancock <glennh@GMAIL.COM>
    So my 2 cents: First off I'm not that concerned with why people use Facebook nor do I want to argue its merits. I'm only concerned with being able to get in touch with like minded people about my Twin Commander. So to me, the question comes down to whether we want to post things to a blog of sorts or a forum. To understand the difference you'd only have to go to facebook and try to find a conversation that got started 2 months ago that you were participating in or going to a forum and doing the same. The forums are threaded for a reason and they keep track of an entire conversation in one easy to follow link. A blog is nothing more than a bunch of people posting comments about this that or the other and there is no easy way to search through history or to find a specific topic you might be interested in, and post a comment. I'm also not interested in how many followers anyone has on Facebook as those people don't fly and probably never have flown a Twin Commander. I'm only interested in the couple hundred people that are flying the planes today that can help me and that I might be able to help. I'm not saying having a Facebook page with lots of people watching videos isn't a good thing, it's just not what I'm interested in personally. This email list doesn't work and is too hard to keep track of conversations. It's also possible someone hits reply to a person instead of the group and the entire conversation goes offline for a bit then pops back in later with half the conversation missing. so there we are: :-) Glenn On 9/27/15 9:30 PM, Nico hMail wrote: > > I don't disagree with you, guys. > > > > I use Facebook for several reasons, such as personal, business, > political, religious and aviation. > > > > Personal: I have hooked up with family and friends whom I have had no > possible chance of ever meeting again.

The problem is that it's simply a gossip center where people g o to talk and post pictures and videos. It's not subject specific and trying to follow conversations or search for specific informa tion is impossible. I would like to see a forum that is specific to our common interests and that we can control better. As I mentioned, I've already created a forum at twincomm andergroup.com and created a few sections for conversations. Ther e are a few things we all need to consider with a forum like this. 1) That more than one person be involved in the domain name so t hat when one of us passes on, the others can pickup the forum. On e possible solution is that one of you has registered twincommande rs.com. That could be pointed at my server and both domains would resolve to the same place for now but could be different later. 2) That the people involved have some sort of written ag reement that if something were to happen to the person owning the server, that others can have it transferred to another server. 3) There are a couple options on the latter point, instead of me placing the forum on my own server I could just rent a se rver from one of the popular sites and we could place it there. Y ou will get into disk size limits and other possible problems in t hat situation as well as costs involved that I'm more than happy t o foot at the moment. I'm not rich but I do have the money to cov er the server and operational costs.

    Subject: Re: Jim Metzger and N222JS
    So am I. I just capitulated to some verbal diarrhea about Facebook, not necessarily singing its praises. The email list was working when it was the only practical medium. There are so many more practical solutions out there today, it seems wise to use them. The domain aerocommander.com is available if it is needed. I am willing to promote such a closed group on my facebook page, which has hundreds of Commander pilots from all over the world who would certainly consider joining.

I'm only concerned with being able to get in touch with like minded people about my Twin Commander. So to me, the question comes down to whether we want to post things to a blog of sorts or a forum. To understand the difference you'd only have to go to facebook and try to find a conversation that got started 2 months ago that you were participating in or going to a forum and doing the same. The forums are threaded for a reason and they keep track of an entire conversation in one easy to follow link. A blog is nothing more than a bunch of people posting comments about this that or the other and there is no easy way to search through history or to find a specific topic you might be interested in, and post a comment. I'm also not interested in how many followers anyone has on Facebook as those people don't fly and probably never have flown a Twin Commander. I'm only interested in the couple hundred people that are flying the planes today that can help me and that I might be able to help.
