I've decided to shut down the HD Forums Australia Facebook group.  After a short experiment with it, I realised pretty quickly it could get out of control and I don't need the hassles.  Apologies for the dramas.  I've also removed myself from Facebook.

Apologies again, and nothing personal towards any of the members.

I was goi9ng to join facebook until someone showed me how to rip people's locations out of iphone pictures - I hate being ignorant of this shit so I backed off until I learned more - and all I learned is not to like it.

I'm a Facebook fan and I thought the Idea was sound KC. However I guess the main objection woudl be the loss of anonymity we now enjoy on the Forum. Imagine if people knew I hang around with a bunch of HD riders?

Good try anyway KC. Keep up the good work on the Forum.

I think Facebook is more trouble than it's worth....

They can shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

I started on fb to keep in touch with my daughter (not spying on her)
spend a lot more time keeping up with riding mate than chatting with my little girl
I could c where it going and understand y u shut it down

Ahh well............We still got ere............

Hoody

welcome back, are you all well now

Good try KC..........but you could see where it was going

TB

Gday matey....Not perfect yet but well enough.....I got my own laptop today so i can get on here now....And yeh Tbolt ur right but it's a shame..

 I saw a news article the other day about Facebook. "They" are introducing face recognition technology - there is no "opt out". What it boils down to is the computer can recognise your face within the database - if you have a photo on face book any random off the street can take your photo and use the technology to source other photos and information about you on the net. No prob's I thought - I am not and will not be  a member of facebook - until my 10 yo daughter pointed out that anyone can post your photo and information on facebook. Fuck that shit.
