• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Is facebook replacing Spyderlovers ?

i'm wondering if facebook is replacing spyderlovers. i don't ''do '' facebook, so i have no idea how much spyder talk goes on there.
there doesn't seem to be much going on around here, is there much going on over there?
has Spyderlovers just run it's course ?



Some members see even less than you do on this site. They have half the members here on ignore. Don't worry, those members won't see my post !!!!!!!! :roflblack::roflblack:
 
Its winter and its Christmas time

so I would expect to see a slow down in posting on a forum where many can't ride at this time of year or are busy with Christmas preparations.

I don't do FB and doubt I ever will.

As far as site rules go, I know of other sites that are much more strict and they have flourished for a long time.

I bet after Christmas and New Year and as spring approaches and trips are planned there will be an increase in activity.

Just my .02.

I too belong to both sites and sure hope this :spyder2: lover site Isn't getting any smaller, I just joined a few months ago and I still have a lot more to learn about these wonderful machines..


GOOD POINT...this site is the way to go for technical info...these pages have info on "who has been there and done it"....Facebook is mostly events and chitchat...opinions too...but for techie...go to SL's
 
HELL NO WE WON'T GO!!!!

I'm sure Facebook has it's place but nothing will replace this forum!
It's a busy time of year and then there's the northern ryders that are parked at the moment that might not stop by as much though I don't know what else I'd do... :roflblack:
 
:shocked: They AREN'T??? :yikes:
(I'm always thinking about mine... :D)
This time of year; it's time to prepare for some farkling episodes. :yes:

Already started my Farkling
LED lights for reflectors on fenders and saddlebags
HID headlights and fog lights
electric frunk opener

and more:yes::yes:
 
Do both also, but seem to be going more to Facebook. Here there a lot of posts on topics that are not relevant to what the original OP asked or the topic at hand. Some seem to just post a comment back to every other comment, and its gets tiresome weeding through the chatter.

All is good, nice to have a choice.. Happy Holidays to all!
 
Check both regularly

IMHO:
Facebook not a presence with Spyder. There are specific posts on Girls on Spyders and a couple local Spyder groups I follow. My assessment is that Facebook gets a 1 rating in Spyder world social media and Spyderlovers still gets the 10. The one thing I do like on FB over SL is that if someone comments or likes something I post I get a notice and I can immediately follow it, if I so choose. While on SL's I have to remember (sometimes that is not very reliable :yikes:) the category/topic I was posting to and can't find again.
Just my 2 cents...
 
Facebook will never replace forums like this. First off there's no way to search the tech info like you can here. I think as far as the social side goes in many ways they are equal. Somethings are just easier to do on Facebook compared to forms.

I use both but plan on being here a lot more next year as my personal life seems to be getting back in control. 2014 was a hard year for me in many ways. 2015 is looking better already and I'm looking forward to many great adventures with you all.

Merry Christmas SpyderLovers :doorag:
 
Well. I do Facebook

but not for anything Spyder related. I really do not post much here, but read a lot here. And it is good to know Super Consultant will be here more. Now that I am not seeing the "join our protest" posts so much this site is again much more enjoyable to me. We wish all a Merry Christmas!

We needed to hear that. SL is the only site for me, I do not go on Face book, and I don't have the time. I prefer SL site to get info. about what is happening ( rides, Events, Tech advice on spyders, Spyderfest, Spyderquest and anything to do with Spyders) :firstplace: site for me. Deanna
