One of the funnier videos on YouTube is when a guy visits his Fakebook friends to just hang out  most of the people he visits have no idea who he is.

Facebook loves you!  Facebook loves everyone who has helped them make over 200 billion dollars in a little over 10 years.  How you say?  How can facebook make so much green, i'm glad you asked.  They are data mining ALL facebook users.  That means they track your internet activity and key words searches and statistically prepare a spreadsheet for advertisers,investors, employers and potential employers!  In essence, they are using you (and your habits) to conduct targeted advertising and investment campaigns.  They also help (sell) employers and potential employers the ability to look at your facebook account in depth.  (you can not hide anything on facebook from these types of inquiries) Big brother is watching and he is collecting your data and selling it! 

Now I'm not saying to stop using Facebook, it's your life you do what you wish. 

What I am saying is that the SJVWC Facebook page is clearly effecting the club site... how, it divides us.  The posts that were normally here on our website are now on our Facebook page and this makes the SJVWC site not the place for banter...but instead Facebook.  So the people who don't access Facebook (because we refuse to be part of a perpetual advertising/mining campaign) are out of the loop. 

I fell in love with this site because of the banter (both technical and otherwise) with people that were like minded and enjoyed the VW hobby.  This site was always our site, not facebooks, not twitters, not myspaces  but www.sjvwc.net .  We made the rules and you followed them or you would be scolded by Jack.   I just don't see the allure of giving up something special to be part of a mega advertising machine. 4thinking6

In short, I love the  Flag* .net  11&*

  Yes, I agree, put nothing on Facebook that will come back and haunt you.

It's 2015. I can't click upload imagine and browse my photo gallery. This site is out dated. I understand nothing's free. No ones going to upload pics if it's hard. It's like work. I post it on Facebook. 500 people can view and get back to me with a response in seconds. I don't care if big brother knows what I'm doing. If your not doing anything illegal what are you scared of?

Disagree about being outdated.

The SJVWC site is a wealth of VW knowledge. Jacks videos are extremely informative and have been viewed by thousands of folks. Some of the threads are also packed with lots of information that answers many questions

I'm not scared of anything.

No. The information on this site is priceless. That you can't replace. But not being able to quickly upload pics and videos is a problem.

BTW, Fakebook accounts are extremely easy to hack. No real tools needed, just common sense. The entry point is the security question, if you pretend to forget somebody's password or email address.

Questions like " Where were you born?" " What sport do you like? What is your favorite color? should never be answered with the real answer as they are too easy to guess or publically available. All those can be answered with a word that means something only to you like "Rustoleum" etc.

Many sites are linking to your Fakebook password because they want to make it even easier for folks. "Easy" makes it even easier for those with bad intentions.

Didnt Jimmy Fallon or Kimmel just do a bit where he walked up to folks on the street and basicallt got passwords out of them by just asking?

Greg is correct about the additional steps. I don't post on Facebook very much, but when I do, it's done in seconds. I can't immagine why there isn't a simple machines app, but hopefully it's in the works. As for the privacy settings, we're as open as we can be
