I am not anti blogs...
Just anti new folk using Fun to advertise them when that person has no interest in joining in on our forum.
Users... not Givers.

I am glad there are others like me who don't rate blogs, thought everyone on here had one but me, I would much rather have realtime updates of someone's trip on here , so that you can reply or ask questions such as @Robert Clark trips .
One thing about odd blogs I have dipped into , they always seem upside down, you always start reading the latest installment or have to scroll down to where you left off, and by then you have already gone past what they have done.
Saying that though , I have every admiration for anyone who has the patience to do it.

We do a blog and there is a link to it in our sig ( now deleted )
Why is that ? Don't be put off by this thread, putting your blog in your sig is not pushing into people's faces.
My blog is my pictures and in my sig it stays.
I agree JJ , although I like to have a read, what really winds me up is when they don't keep it up to date.

Creep. Tried that myself. He still charges you the full £15.00
Blogs. Must admit I don't read them, mainly because I couldn't write them. No interaction. It's like having a conversation with next doors dog, not knowing if it's listening, or out taking a dump.
Like.....
"Today I went for a walk in the park. Such a pretty place, with many rare and exotic dog turds growing in abundance. Then, I stopped at the park cafe, and had a cup of tea, milk, but no sugar, in a cute little cup bearing a picture of a chap with his PARTS out.....Very nice. Then, I strolled.......AGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
You nearly got away with that!!Creep. Tried that myself. He still charges you the full £15.00

To someone with a lack of friends, Faceache and Splitter were a dream come true. At last, they could 'talk' to someone other then the milkman, express themselves..(Get it.....Express......Dairies.....), to others they didnt know. The perfect solution for all the Billy No Mates of the planet.........But then others jumped on board, and expanded the stupidness of it all, to such a degree that men and women cant just MEET anymore, in a casual way, in the pub or whatever, they have to meet through this so called SOCIAL MEDIA!! My God, if all the mobile phones and computers in the world were now switched off, the birth rate would fall through the deck!You nearly got away with that!!
I had to try, after all, 15 quid is still fifteen quid
What I can't understand are these people who use Twitter to tell us that they're on the train, on the job, getting their buttocks waxed or on the loo. What's up with them that they think we'll find their mundane and pointless existences that interesting? And worse still, they are so self obsessed they feel they have to get "selfie sticks" and post pictures of themselves all over their bloody Facebook pages, whilst making sure that there us no such thing as a quiet good value restaurant by advertising it to like minded vacuous dullards on Trip Advisor and ruining it for everyone else (save the owner of the restaurant, who immediately puts up his prices)
Some blogs are interesting and very well written/funny (Mousy is a good example). Others are just an ego trip "look how rich we are" etc etc. I used to write a travel blog for my car club mainly to reduce the stress of travel and shamelessly taking the p out of situations, but stopped quite a long time ago as I became bored with it.I am glad there are others like me who don't rate blogs, thought everyone on here had one but me, I would much rather have realtime updates of someone's trip on here , so that you can reply or ask questions such as @Robert Clark trips .

And there would no MHF either. Social media isn't just facebook and twitter. MHF is part of it too and many people on here (including you if I may be so bold as to say it) use MHF in just the same way as you are criticising others using facebook.My God, if all the mobile phones and computers in the world were now switched off, the birth rate would fall through the deck!
Sorry, different animal.And there would no MHF either.
Of coarse it is....OK, there are a few more coming into the pipeline, but hey, basically, those two are the market leaders.Social media isn't just facebook and twitter.
Well I dont. Simply because I dont have an account with either. And, (like your good self), I reserve the right to criticise what I wish.MHF is part of it too and many people on here (including you if I may be so bold as to say it) use MHF in just the same way as you are criticising others using facebook.
Which you cant on *FUN*.Nothing wrong with social media, you can post what you want and others can choose to read it or not.
You are wrong and if you had a facebook account you would probably know it. There is every similarity. Yes there are some differences but the principle of social media applies to all forms of it including special interest forums. Whether you pay to be a member or not. Facebook includes many special interest groups, including a couple of very popular motorhome ones I know of. MHF has a presence on facebook. These groups are usually policed, just like MHF and at least one of them does negotiate discounts with some suppliers.So really, there is very little similarity.
Well, then lets leave it at that then Paul. I will continue with *FUN*, but I wont subscribe to Social Media. I mean by that the Facebook and Twitter stuff, where thousands follow the every move to the loo by those deemed to be 'celebrities', where school kids get bullied into taking their own lives, where others get 'groomed' by pedophiles, where women are put in fear of being hurt by stalkers, and where police officers and servicemen are threatened with death.I'm only posting this because I find it amusing that people condemn facebook yet use other forms of social media to do exactly what they are condemning.
Agreed. It's not worth a disagreement.Well, then lets leave it at that then Paul.

If that sort of thing winds your clock, then that's fine by me mate.
You would be surprised what they know even if you aren't a member. Unless you actively block them then you have what is known as a shadow account on all these networks.By which I mean that your location is not used, your contact lists are not accessed, your networks with others are not exposed and users of the forum are moderated. We don't want to indiscriminately broadcast where we are (UK or .PT),

There ya go then You don't need it, you are not forced to use it.I have no use for FB, etc, so no loss to me
Right.........................................So, there is a difference??This forum is a social group aimed at motorhomers. Facebook is a social group where you can choose what type of people you mingle with.
There is no difference in reality. I type crap into the computer, other people answer it. I can ignore people on both.Right.........................................So, there is a difference??
It has been noticed, but only occasionally.I type crap into the computer
