A thought to put to everyone on the forum. Facebook seems to be a cheap and easy way to share stuff. It isnt as structured as the forum but it is free. The FB group would be a closed group so until you were a member you couldnt post. This gets rid of the spammer problem. So here is is the question should we have a Facebook group? Should it be as well as or instead of the forum? Please can you state your preference.

There already is a nikon group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Nikon.Asylum You must join to post, and it is better than a lot of other open groups, as anyone can post and often the posts are of poor quality.

Not having joined Facebook, Twitter or any other Social Networking site I am not qualified to comment on the merit of such a move. Except perhaps so say that my abstinence from those sort of 'bare your navel to the world' sites will continue. An amusing thought...... "Presently, I am trying to make friends outside of Facebook while applying the same principles. Therefore, every day, I go down on the street and tell the passerby what I have eaten, how I feel, what I have done the night before, what I will do tonight and the rest of the week. I give them pictures of my wife, my daughter, my dog, me gardening and spending time in my pool. I also listen to their conversations and I tell them I love them. . . . . . and it works!!! I already have 3 persons Following me ....2 police officers and a psychiatrist"

re: my abstinence from those I agree with Eric (to some degree, grin). I acknowledge the spam problems this site has had in the past. Independence is another matter (highly appreciated by myself). Regards, Gilbert

I can understand the desire to have a less burdensome technical structure. I can also understand why some people use crack cocaine. I'm much more likely to try crack than Facebook, however. Yes, I know they have 1.5 billion users and I'm in danger of missing everything in the world (including spam, identity theft, malware and any possible privacy...oh yeah and a zillion unwanted wonderfully personalized ads). In short. I love the community of Nikon D1 users ![]() If you do enter Facebook, I would request that my name, forum posts and images be removed first. Yikes... Tom

Hi Tom, no compulsion just an alternative thought about getting more people involved. I hate using FB as it is very unstructured but if it allows people to show their pictures more easily then it has some advantage. This is currently only a back burner idea but unless we get a huge positive request it wont happen.
