Re: Taking a break from social media
I believe the reason to be is called progress Floydy.
Forums were a good way to connect in the old days with the outside world.
You could have a good banter with various members and they would go into depth with their posts.
These days however there is nowt worse than just smiley faces posts and one liners that a lot of members do (not just on this forum) and its all because they are posting on their mobiles and i.pods and other miniature machines that they carry about on their person.
They don't sit down anymore and think about what they are writing because they are either out and about shopping or out for the night on the town even exercising in the gym some of them. Or at work on a quick break or even travelling.
Yes progress as screwed up forums in my opinion.
Its a pity that words have been taken over by smileys and silly pictures.
I to have my moments when I wonder why the **** am I a member of a forum these days.
Hence why I stick to posting mostly music there really is not a lot of interest otherwise.
