• 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.

Ruminating about age and wisdom

Facebook is just a tool. Like the telephone you can blab all sorts of personal information all around town so that everyone else knows your business......or not.

I have found FB to be a useful way to find and communicate with people I ordinarily would have problems finding.....like my old military buddies and others who served aboard my ship. Childhood friends. Even extended family members. And just interesting other people - some of whom own Spyders and others who don't.

The only thing FB knows about me is my name, home town, former military station and disdain of our present president. You could find out just as much by going to WhitePages.com or any one of a hundred other sites.

And FB doesn't cost me a dime to use it. Try getting that much functionality from any other social site. Do I really care that every once in a while I get a flyer from the NRA nazis due to a post on FB? Not really. It just goes in the trash along with all the other junk. And it also proves that people who use FB data either don't know how to use it or it is inaccurate.

If you've made a lifetime career of robbing banks you probably don't want to join the "Former Folsom Prison Inmates" group. Otherwise, you are just paranoid.
