Find us (SpyderLovers) on Facebook

[Lamonster]

I started this board back in 2007 when there was no Facebook. In the past few years I've spent more time there than on here. This is still a great place to search information, much easier than Facebook. My neglect of being here all the time has resulted in some degradation of the board. I plan on spending more time here turning that around. It is a great board but a few have made it a not so friendly place. All the boards I've run through the years have had the same problem. You get guys that can be helpful at times but also tend to be board bullies if someone doesn't agree with them. That's going to change and I'm sure there will be some removal of those members sooner than later. Till then I would ask that you hang in there and we will get this board back in shape again. Right now there is only one other moderator and we will be adding more soon to help keep this board a friendly and informative site.

I know some of you will never use Facebook and that's part of the reason I haven't shut this board down. That and the fact that there is so much good info here if you ask or search the board. For those of you that are on Facebook we do have a page for SpyderLovers that I run that you may not know about. For those of you that prefer that format here's the link.

I agree. I haven't yet quite given up on FB, because it does have some value. But, for good discussions and info on all things Spyder, this is the only place for me.

It took awhile to learn how to restrain myself when participating in 'off-topic' threads. I was part of the problem and not part of the solution. I hope my recent (the last few weeks) responses have shed more light than heat. I don't learn anything about Spyders in those threads, but they do expose me to a way of thinking and seeing life quite different from my own - and I don't want to lose that.

Anyway, I'm glad to still be part of this large, engaged, helpful and vibrant community.

So, thanks to all of you and in particular Lamont for putting up with me during the learning process.

I don't go on to Face book( for other reasons) either.

I like this site, I find/and I get a lot of spyder information on this site. I have posted, and have started a lot of threads( D.E.S.S. KEY CODE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! which is a very long thread, I know that a lot of current/ new spyder owners have posted on that thread. Also other threads,/ pictures that I have posted have been very useful/helpful , to other spyder owners.)

I am on this site as much I can, I am still in the work force full time. Also life Gets in the way!


I have met some very interesting spyder owners from near and far. ( Spyderfest, and SpyderQuest).


A Big Thank You Lamont for keeping this site going, and not closing this site down.

"I know some of you will never use Facebook..."

Back when I was still in the military, we had it pounded into our skulls that Facebook was a massive operational security and personal security nightmare. We were repeatedly given info on how to minimize your families' exposure. Facebook is a MASSIVE privacy threat.

The recent news about how Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc., scrape all your personal information off your devices for marketing purposes only confirms what I was taught back then. Needless to say, I don't "do" social media. Boards like this is where I get my riding community info.

Count me as a regular user on here. It's THE best source for info on everything Spyder related! Many thanks for supplying this great site!

As for Facebook.........it sucks! I was on it for about three years. There were a few things I liked, but the crap that goes along with it is horrible! I closed my account a year ago and things would have to undergo a MASSIVE overhaul before I would ever consider going back!

Please know that your efforts here are greatly appreciated by the vast majority. A big thank you for all you do and have done!

I, like many others, appreciate your keeping Spyderlovers going. I find it much better for searching for problems and solutions. I'm on the site every day and post when I have something of value to add to the discussion.

I'm less concerned about the need to moderate as none of us have to get caught up in someone's rant. I prefer open communications and a free voice.

Thanks for the direction to the FB. I don't use it much but I do find myself going there more often this weekend to check out folks posts. I like the FB because of the ease of posting photos.

I like the forums because of the ease of posting facts/info.

I think having both is awesome.
