Thank you for that accurate assessment.

I never wanted to be normal. ;)

Quote from: Privateer on November 11, 2012, 03:26:31 PM... As a consequence, I believe the traditional online forum-based communities will evolve in some fashion, more towards ubiquity (by that I mean access to it anywhere) and more of a means to interact quickly than long thought out responses.  As evidence I point to the rise of Facebook and the 'like' method of interaction, or something like reddit where posts are thumbed up or down. ...
I hope not.  Forums in general are too short of long thought out responses.  Especially the "thought out" part.  Several forums I belong to have added "like" or "thanks" buttons, though, and I do like that.  It is a lot less cluttery than posting "+1", and encourages people to at least have some input.

How does a like button equate to some/better input than +1 or +11tybillion?

I'm not being argumentative, I just don't see it.

Not being a mobile user I guess I don't get the clutter part.

I see a like button more useful for those of us that use on a regular basis the "Show new replies to your posts" link. If you're on a slow connection and it takes a while to load some of the pic heavier threads, it's almost a waste when you only see a +1.

Imagine your computer screen being a tiny bit larger than a playing card.

Then cover half of that with a 'keyboard' when you want to post.

actually it has to do with real estate. every +1 post is tons of scrolling on the mobile device.
would prefer a simple way to wrap up all the +1's into a simple mark on that post.

I have imagined that and that's why I don't bother with Mobil computing. The I pad is about as small as I want to get.

I don't know why you guys put yourself though all that.
Plus the added expense of it.

So...

something you (read that I) can't see anyway.

It's why computers are the way to go.

Even though I have made many long lasting friendships on this forum and the DML, this format is more geared to be informative. As many have already said, the Monster is a mature product and just about every topic has been discussed and in many cases rehashed. The bonds I've been able to build on the DMF continue past the fact that I no longer own a Monster, or even any other Ducati model. I stay precisely because of the friendships and general camaraderie, which is very different to that of FB.

FB for me is more of a way to stay in contact with my "real world" friends and family.

I think a community like this needs to be different than the ADHD style of modern SM.

The technical aspect and indepth discussions cannot be replicated on FB or its ilk.
This.

And Twatter.  

Yes, I'm an old fart but its not just that the "benefits" of these forms of communication elude me.  For me the intrusiveness of FB is a very poor trade in return for the superficial banality offered.

FB is like the Seinfeld show, It's a site about nothing.

But unlike FB, at least Seinfeld is funny.
