Title: DRTV Facebook group
Post by: BAC on August 06, 2017, 02:33:57 AM
For those of you on Facebook, I've created a closed group for DRTV Forum Alumni, creatively called "DRTV Forum Alumni."  I think you have to ask to become a member, since I kept it closed.  Anyway, the link is https://www.facebook.com/groups/229944780862216/?ref=aymt_homepage_panel (https://www.facebook.com/groups/229944780862216/?ref=aymt_homepage_panel)

Spread the word.  Also, I'm going to need volunteers to be admins and/or moderators.

You'll have to be careful on FB...they're quite the little censors.
This forum is part of a commercial enterprise, and although it is not active as it was, we need to remember where we all met and how much friendship and comraderie this forum has enabled.  We may someday be bounced out of FB, so I think if this forum can remain we should check in as a backup.
The world changes and some things fade away, but the more we buy into the social media stew, the more subject we are to the whims of the "enlightened".

Facebook is nothing I want or need anymore. 

I would suggest, however, that you message Bane or Marshal about the FB group as DRTV may have a copyright or trademark.

I logged in and clicked the link and had already been added by Tom T.......talk about customer service. 
;D


I still log in here at least once and usually more than once per day........ I tolerate FB because it is what it is and it's where the majority of people I know swap info fro, day to day......but this is still home.

I tried Facebook for awhile and it was mostly a big waste of time. I was getting friend requests from people I never heard of and people were sending me virtual drinks and other such nonsense. I closed my account and when some hacker opened it back up I closed it again. I think it was permanent the last time. I really don't care if I'm not in contact with a guy I went to high school with and haven't seen since the late '70s.

No, not FB itself. It's an add-on extension called Facebook Purity (like an outside app) that piggy-backs to FB and gives you more individual customization of what you see and don't see on each page. You can even control foul language to an extent. One of the options alerts you to friends being absent from your list, whether they left FB or just deactivated during a vacation as some do.
I run it to eliminate all the useless ads and crap.

Unfortunately fbpurity doesn't work on Android phones, which is what I use 90% of the time for internetty thingies.  The ads got to be too much, and I was only seeing posts from about 5 people that Facebook chose for me (thank you very much).  I've been using MeWe more lately, but it's very lonely over there.
Title: Re: DRTV Facebook group
Post by: BAC on August 08, 2018, 09:52:49 PM
Mewe doesn't track you and doesn't have ads all over the place.  There is also a fairly robust firearms community on there.  Buying/selling, too.

I want you to join me on MeWe, the Next-Gen Social Network. No Ads. No Spyware. No BS: https://mewe.com/i/brian.chiaravalle

Has anyone else heard about the 90 million Facebook accounts that got hacked? About 2 weeks ago Facebook said that its social network had been hacked, resulting in 40 million accounts that were directly impacted, while another 50 million were also considered to be potentially affected. I read that Facebook is the only place that people aren't talking about it.

I closed my account. Someone else reopened it. So I closed my account again. The second time I tried deleting everything possible. No more Facebook account to the best of my knowledge.

Closing a facepoop account takes two or three weeks.  If you make the mistake of logging back in, it resets the clock and you start over.

They make it a pain in the ass for a reason!

Without logging in to Facebook for any reason they sent me an email saying something about reopening my account when I didn't.

Don't "close" you FB account.
Hit the button to "DELETE".
One click and the assholes are gone.
But don't try to use messanger afterwards.
