    Got link?

    Otherwise, I'm decoupling myself from most of my social networking sites.  I participate on this one and one other.  That's it.

    Don't bother...if you aren't an ex-AB you wouldn't understand.

    I just saw it.  It looks incredibly lame.

    They posted a message in the blog section. If you didn't look at the blog page you didn't get the message. It leads you to believe they have a lot of work to do and know it.

  • It still needs a lot of work but I think they will get it together.

    Good point.  It can take years to tweak a social networking site to get it 'just right.'  The one I just left had some stellar coding, but was run by blithering moroons.  I believe you're still a member there. :-) This post was edited by Transquesta at October 23, 2016 4:13 PM MDT

    Trans, yes you are an expert on all things such as who is and who is not a  moron, aren't you?

    Trans, you are also an expert on how many "years" it takes to get a social network site operable.   Right.  You have run so many of them.

    It should take roughly a month to get it right. If that long.  That is if you have a proper crew and some money to spend.  That seems to not happen very often.    Then it gets sold to some huge company that could care less, which is what happened to the old Answer Bag.

    I am an expert at nothing, Sharonna.  In fact, the very word is erroneous. No one is truly expert at anything. Expertise implies complete mastery or knowledge of a subject.  Such mastery/knowledge does not exist.  Not for human beans, anyway.

    I'm just giving you grief.   It's my job.

    I know.  That much we have in common: we like to give each other grief.  I think it's the beginning of a wonderful new relationship.  With considerable effort on your part, you could become my SECOND favorite frenemy. :-)

    Addendum:

    I've helped to set up (code) one such site. I didn't run it. Do you know how to code a website, Sharonna?

    Now you know I want to know what you're talking about.  Chances are I'm a member too.  ;)

    I won't advertise for that toxic waste dump by posting a link, but if Karen wants you to know she can tell you.

    Let's put it this way. You ain't seen paranoid heaped upon dysfunction until you've been to the social networking equivalent of Fukushima. :-)

  • I'm still there and I've ran into no issue with anyone. I've seen some fighting, but I'm not a part of it. I actually like that site.

  • I just went there and it's a very brief message. I do have faith in them though. :) I'm sure it will be better than it was before, we just have to be patient. It was good seeing a few old faces, so to speak, on there.

  • Seen it , it looks like they  just  used a default massage board page  template .  Anemic indeed  .

    Precisely.  Take a look at the source. It's canned code.

    No I didn't.  Maybe I'll take a peek later.
