User of the Day - 6 year & 60 post user goes ballistic!

Rob, are you able to share data of now vs 10 years ago on number of daily posts and number of new members signing up on Fchat? I think that would give a really good idea of how things have changed, or not, in the period

 

I hated moving from the app to web based. Still prefer it, but now just keep an open tab on my browser with my iPad and iPhone. More steps to checking some things, less for others.

At least I didn’t yell at you! LOL.

My own use varies. Lately, I’ve been mostly checking some of the specific model forums. I read some in P&R, but more so in Silver. A couple of threads in Rossa now and then. I forget about the non-subscribed areas and rarely check these threads. There are a lot of fun and interesting people here and I would really miss it if FChat went away. Even though Rob can get a little cranky at times, he still does a great job keeping things in line.

 

This is hilarious.

Don't you know how important that guy is.

He over spent at the Ferrari dealer. They told him he would be a big deal.

 

Who knew Gino had four Ferraris?

 

Came for the cars, stayed for the people.

 

Social media and videos are no substitute. They do a different job, entertainingly sometimes, but not the same at all. Fchat remains a trove. For now.

Sadly the lesson of digital revolution is that good stuff gets wiped out by, mainly, crap, and the idiots take over. Like newspaper opeds have been replaced by shouting people on X and the like, wise heads on Fchat to be replaced by revving creators on video.

Really hope I’m wrong there.

 

Gresham's law seems to apply to the internet as well as money.

Internet: bad information drives out good information. Bad information is often more sensationalistic, engages more viewers emotionally, and therefore more readily amplified. Good information is often boring, doesn't excite people, and therefore doesn't get amplified.
