[Riot]

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

HEY NOW!  WHY'S EVERYONE PICKING ON ME?!?    I'm a big teddy bear... yes i have teeth but i am a teddy bear 

[Breandan]

I can attest to this, I hug him till he makes cracking noises every time I see him

Doesn't it seem easier to refer back to posts in threads here on RenFest Forums, rather than on Facebook?

No. Eliminated all the multiple trails/discussions.

I too swore to never use Facebook. Unfortunately, that's the presently most popular social networking for TRF and SWFF. In order to concentrate on where the largest audience is, I have to follow the flow.

It takes me at least 2 hours each night to respond to the TRF campgrounds Facebook postings. Now, if I had to do the same thing here, that's another hour, making the same responses to identical questions.

Add in the time working on the Sherwood Forest Faire staff management discussions and camper questions, adds another hour every few days (things are far more peaceful there, as we have had 3 years to get folks happy and we started from Day 1).

Soon I will be adding Scarbourough Faire to my nightly campgrounds management schedule (if things go well later this month).

Glad I'm retiring from my paying job next year, so that I can devote my time to my unpaid campgrounds management duties.

So, I'll check here daily and make short responses, but detailed (i.e., policy) statements will only be on the Facebook page.

Oh yes. Mark your calendars for the Sunday before TRF opening weekend, say around noon.

Enter via the new campgrounds entrance on the county road (302 or 203, forget which, just by the Valero gas station)

If the gate is closed, wait till Tom or I open it. If the gate is open, park around the Quickie Mart parking area just inside the campgrounds entrance. We will wait until around 1 PM to allow all interested folks to arrive. We will then lead a tour of the expanded campgrounds. We may even show you the three maps showing the three phases  of the campgrounds expansion (#3 will make alot of folks really excited) that covers the next 2-8 years.

Come prepared to take plenty of photos.

Has Facebook added a Search capability, like this Forum software has, so that information can easily be found?

[KiltedPrivateer]

hopefully someone will be kind enough to cross post from FB to here for the rest of us (o:

Debaldock,

I have not yet been able to find a search feature for searching content on a given page. 

Perhaps someone who spends a lot more time on Facebook can provide an answer for us. 

[Glaodian]

I believe it is as simple as control.  The person incontrol of the FB page has the ability to delete posts and remove members they do not like.  Here on the forums, a normal person would not has such control and would be open to more debates and opinions that could not be supressed.
