Nice! Anywhere to find out about these and get involved other than FB?

We have a Discord chat that just started, but I'm not sure it will be as reliable in regards to events.

Not that my presence would be missed or anything, and since I still don't have my Bronco it's extra moot, but anything that requires me to register on social media is a non-starter. That's just me and obviously social media is doing just fine without me!

You gotta tell us here! Like the Byron winter nuke ride...I think 1/15? Many of us have abandoned anti-social media.

Isn't this site/forum itself a social media platform?

I try to remember, but TBH I don't come in here as regularly as I do the FB groups. With so many events, it can be hard to keep up with who's posted what where.

Depending upon how one views it, it certainly could be. It's not my view, personally, as I think more of FB, Twitter, etc. but that doesn't make me right or you wrong. For me the difference is those other sites often REQUIRE registration to even browse. One can browse B6G (and most other enthusiast *websites*) without registering; the primary restriction for those not registered is they can't post. There's a number of places I visit to keep up to date where I'm not registered; works OK for me but, again, that's just me and I acknowledge that everybody's different (and that's good).

It's your club. You guys do what you think is best.

And while we argue here....it's usually not to the death. And occasionally someone does change their opinion. lol

I think if you have a smart phone, access the internet, or an iPad type device, then at that point it's pretty small step to actually signing up for different sites (this one included). The device you're using is tracking and obtaining information. In the end it's registered to you, your work or your spouse, so they have your information either way (or can get info). Like many things, I understand the concern, but I'm not going to let it dictate my every day life or what I want to do. If whoever is watching my movements thinks I'm that important, then well have at it. Enjoy the show!

Either way, use whatever platform you are comfortable with, eventually it'll be nice to visit with others in person at events.
