Ok, I've been bouncing between here and Facebook and trying to get the hang of FB, but it's frustrating as all get-out. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, or have missed the way to navigate ... I dunno. On THIS site ... when a new post is made, or when there's been a response to a post, it automatically moves to the top of the page and is highlighted until I read it. On FB, I "usually" get an email notice that there's been a post made (or something like that) and I go to the FB page to start weeding through the threads TRYING to find the new response/thread. If there are a lot of responses, I have to dig through, find there are "3 more responses" ... open that ... slide on down the thread to find "2 more responses" ... open that. Frankly, for this old fart, it's a royal pain in the ass! Plus, the threads stay where they are. If there's a response to a thread started 6 months ago, I guess you just have to find the frigging thing.

I'm going with whatever route this group takes and if you jump off a cliff, I'll jump right along with you ... but TBH, keeping up on the FB posts is a royal PITA and not really a lot of fun (for me anyway).

Ok, flame away at this old fart ... I'm weak and vulnerable so don't burn me too badly. I guess it's just a sign of the times and I need to be flexible and adjust. That doesn't mean I have to like it. The "work" involved just takes some of the fun out of the whole thing IMHO.

Hey Thump. I haven't been on here much lately. The passing of The Captain just kinda took the heart out of me. Never met the man in person but I felt a close affection for him anyway. Strange how that works. Feels like we have passed a milestone and not a good one.

As for FB - nope, won't be doing that. Tried it ages ago and not for me. I hope this place survives in some format or another as it is kinda unique and would be a shame to see it disappear.

I know Bucky refuses to use FB as well as Sunny ... now it appears Johnboy is in the same boat. There has to be a more user friendly site IMO, but I don't know squat about this crap.

I will continue to check in at both places. Maybe it’ll keep on keeping on without a technical admin. Or maybe one will show up. We’ve been in this shape for at least a year and nothing has crashed.

In the meantime we could solve the whole thing if somebody knew of a way to host the site some other way.

As a side note, there is already stuff posted on the FB GH site that would discourage anyone with social media worries from their work.

Yep, the whole point of this site from the very beginning, was to get out from under All Outdoors' thumb and poor ol' Alison was caught in the middle of it all ... either discipline us deplorables or lose her job. FB has rules and I don't really know how far we can push them. My main complaint is what I stated above ... it's just NOT the kind of format we're looking for IMHO. I'll go on record right now and say I hate it! Once you post something, it's lost in the mumble-jumble after a week or so. Make a comment on an old post and nobody is ever going to find it. We may be able to keep bandaids on this site if we get all the info we need from Cappy's files. I think we have a few qualified people ... the hard part is finding one who will take the time to straighten out any screw-ups that come along. But, as you say, the place has been running itself for a LONG time ... I think ever since Foo and Co9 slammed the backdoor in the Ruskie's faces. They were trying to influence our voting ya' know. ;)

I've had a FB page for years and just don't like the format ... at all. I set it up one weekend, but never finished it as I had zero interest. I just use it to keep track of everybody's birthdays.

I don't Facebook. I tried to. I won't ever try again. Biggest pile of crap any IT person ever designed. More flaws than I can imagine. How the world is addicted is beyond me. But no, I won't be back to try that. Someday no one will be on it. That's my prediction, and I'm sticking to it. Before that occurs, a LOT of people are going to be suffering.

Bucky, I really don't know where we stand right now. It's hosted by Go-Daddy and Cappy has all the financial info, passwords, etc. I'm not sure where we stand with the Domain, but again, he had all that info. I do know Gary wanted to retain the Domain if Cappy ever decided he no longer wanted it, but I also don't know where we stand with him on that matter. The bills are paid for at least another year, so we're good for now. What many worry about is the fact we no longer have a resident techie available if we should have any problems with the site .... but then again ... we haven't had any issues in quite a few years.

Some here are in love with FB, to others it's the Debbil (I'm in that boat), but it's simple and there are no problems maintaining the site (or expenses). Personally, I'll follow the crowd wherever they decide to go, but imo, Facebook sucks big giant weenies and I can't stand the format. They also have a degree of censorship and rules to follow which are two of the biggest reasons this site was generated in the first place ... to get away from ANY type of control other than that which we all agree on. I believe we've only used that power once or twice in the history of this place, (once was banning my lunatic brother when he stumbled in here many years ago) and it seems there was another time we did ... or maybe just considered it ... I believe with Mulewriter ... but I really don't remember.

I ain't ever going to Facebook, not even for you guys. Sorry bro's. Not happenin'. Gotta stick a foot in the ground somewhere.

But you gotta laugh a LITTLE because the actual logical summary of your post is "We don't have a techie now that Cappy passed away". I doubt Larke was any more technical than I am, so that can't be what you meant. I guess he had the passwords to here, or something.

So if he wasn't a techie, and no one else is either really, why not just plod along year after year, pay the piper, and roll merrily along?

Nope, that ain't what I said, the actual quote is:


What many worry about is the fact we no longer have a resident techie available ...

All Cappy did was pay the bills, send me the invoice and I'd reimburse him from the general fund.

In the early days, Gary handled anything technical that came up. But after divorce, a new relationship, job changes, marriage, moving, another divorce, etc, etc, etc. .... he's pretty much moved on and no longer participates here.

The last major issue we had, Foo and Co9 teamed up and got us up and running again. But we've lost Co9 and like Gary, Foo has been pretty much AWOL for years now (although he's checked in a few times since Cappy passed and has offered help).

LJ has handled minor issues in the past, but he too, for the most part, has generally been AWOL and leans more toward the Facebook crowd.

I understand, Go-Daddy has techies who will work to iron out some technical issues, but I have no idea how much they will or can do. Luckily, the site pretty much runs itself and we've had no issues for years ... BUT, the bills still need to be paid and I don't know the process for that. I'll probably be calling Go-Daddy soon, explain our situation and see what suggestions they have. Surely, there's a protocol to handle situations like this.

I'll bet, when the family starts going thru Larke's personal belongings, desk, computer, lock box, etc., those passwords and account info. are gonna miraculously be found.....Larke was a very smart guy, and he certainly saved those passwords, etc. in a safe place.....it may take a while, but you can bank on it. !!!

It's just a hunch, but I'm gonna guess Larke woulda stored something like that in his gun safe.....(after all, GH is hunting related).

Facebook (and Twitter, and TikTok, and Reddit, and yougetthepoint) is just a different interface. If you don't use it, you won't get used to it and if you're looking for reasons to not like it it, guess what you'll find? I'm not pointing my finger at any detractors of Facebook. There's TONS of people with the same attitude and everyone gets to do things like they want. It's fine if you don't like it. I made a choice about a decade ago to not be the old guy clinging to shit yelling about how great the world used to be. That always seemed sad to me. I think I'm doing a pretty good job. Helps keep you young, people. Think about it. The world around us is always changing. If you don't change with it, guess what happens near the end of your life? Life doesn't change to adapt to us as we age. It's the other way around. I bet we all know at least one senior citizen, someone in their 70s or 80s who is full of life and seems much younger than they actually are. This is just one piece of why they are the way they are. Adapting to change in our wonderful world. Learning new things. Finding reason to like things.

All that being said, Facebook is no message board and never will be :D We should look at one of the alternatives I've already put up there.

Also, the goodhunting domain is not in any way a show stopper. It doesn't matter if it exists or not, if Captain hid the password in a vault, if Gary shuts it down, or it dies all together. It's not in any way a blacker to setting up a new message board. It's just a name. We don't need the domain name to have a message board. We're not some massive site that relies on the thousands, millions of users being able to type a specific domain name in a browser search. We're 25 people that like to chat about stuff in a message board format, give each other hell, and argue about the same shit all the time. There's nothing wrong with that and any message board will fit the bill.

Lenster, I have no problem with progress. Every time I buy a new truck, I tell myself I'm keeping this one and just drive the wheels off of it. BUT ... a new style will catch my eye, or new technology will be introduced and I get a case of the "I wants". Next thing I know, I'm trading in a 3 year old vehicle with 7500 miles logged on the odometer. As for new formats for the site, if it works, I'm all for it. Facebook simply does not work FOR ME. I have a close buddy who posts crap all over FB every day. The problem I have is that it simply keeps scrolling along and if I want to find something he posted a couple weeks ago, it's 30 pages down the list. If I comment on it and hope to get a "comment on my comment" (basically reviving the post in a way) it REMAINS 30 pages down the list and keeps sinking deeper and deeper every day, so who's going to participate any longer? I don't check his page daily, but when I do, it's a waste of time commenting on anything more than a few days old because nobody's going to see it anyway. Call me an old man, tell me I'm behind the times and lost in today's new technology, whatever ... but if I don't like Lynn's NEW recipe for boiled okra and oyster casserole, it ain't because it's "new" ... it's because it's simply not for me. It doesn't make me a dinosaur. If you like it, eat it, I have no problem with that.

As for the domain, I realize it can go down the toilet and not affect US ... but I'd imagine it could affect others. What if Helen gets to the point she'd like to check in with us and return to regular posting? She'll Google "GoodHunting" and find one of those pages with a 401 code or whatever that is when I try to find a site that no longer exists. Maybe it doesn't work that way, I don't know. My name has been the same for 69 years now ... to change it to Darryl tomorrow would be more than I'd like to deal with, but I could live with it if there were no other option.

Your name has been Daryl a lot longer than you realize :D

From what you describe as your challenge with facebook, I'm guessing you're not familiar with using the 'notifications' icon. If someone responds to something you've posted, or replied to, your notification icon will light up. Click the icon and you can see what people have responded to in your interactions. If there's no icon, nobody responded, if nobody responded, why would you go look at it again? Like I said, it's not a message board. It's far more interactive and real time. Not the best fit for someone who wants things static and to look the same every time they enter a place.

All good man. You're missing some great stuff with social media. I have a great time sharing stuff with my daughters. If any of us find some funny shit, we always shoot the link in our group text.

Another common misconception. You can cuss a blue streak if you feel like it when you're in a closed private group, which is what the GH facebook page is. You can't post nekkid wimmins if their nipples are showing. Though one group I'm in does it pretty frequently and somehow gets under the radar.

Ok, see how this works? This thread has died out and taken a journey way down the page, but by my making this new comment, it will automatically be revived, moved back to the top and again become a "currently" active thread.

Anyway, someone .... not sure if it was Cheryl (Larke's wife) or Hammerhead (David, his son) ... sent me Larke's Go-Daddy username and customer number along with a link to change the password. It was sent from Larke's email, but no note to let me know who sent it. Problem is, the link expired 2-hours after being sent and I didn't catch the eMail before it timed out. I decided to "test" it anyway, but duh .... of course when I did, the response from Go-Daddy went back to Larke's old email ... so that accomplished nothing and even if I had been able to change it, again, it would not have come back to me for verification.

I've also been on the phone with Go-Daddy reps. and am told they cannot get into the account unless I give them the credit card number that the account was being charged to. They also informed me it's set up for automatic payment, which means around next June or July, Larke's card will be charged automatically. The question is, was it a dedicated card (Larke's only - which may be cancelled by now) or was it a card shared by he and Cheryl and still active? If the former, I need to act fast before his card is cancelled, cut up and thrown away ... or ask Cheryl what their credit card number is. HA! Yeah right. I threw that scenario up to the rep. and he said if I could just get the first 6 and last 4 digits of the card, he could enter the account and transfer it into my name with my billing info.

If not? He said it would take a mountain of paperwork (for me) as well as a copy of Larke's death certificate, etc. etc. etc. Generally, something that just ain't gonna happen. I just hate to bother the family right now with something so petty, but I'll get around to it soon. In the meantime, does anyone here have Hammerhead's phone number? Although I have Cheryl's number, I just can't bring myself to bother her at this point in time. She's a wonderful person (as was Larke) and I know she'd understand, but I'm just not there in my own head yet. I get emotional every time I think about Larke's passing, so I can imagine where her head is. Hammerhead is now the "man of the house", so I could give him a shout and probably work through this, even though he's busy himself since he and his wife have a brand new baby now who JUST missed meeting his grandfather. :(

Look! A reason the past is better! Change is bad, the old way is the best way!

Ok, I'm just giving you some shit but you're looking for reasons to keep things the same instead of adjusting to what's in front of you.

Look at the traffic in here? So much time passes between posts. Sometimes nothing is updated at all. Facebook groups keep it all going, right in front of you. If someone commented on something, it bubbles up to the top. If you want to search for something, there's a little box called "search this group". Easy peasy.

I dunno Ticboy. I just checked our FB page and the last post was 10 days ago. This place has been slow, but active through today. You love FB, I hate it, others love it, others hate it. I don’t know the answer, but what some of us call nostalgic and comfortable, you call a dinosaur pit. Problem is, many of us ARE dinosaurs these days. I suppose it would be easiest to just pull the plug and let the chips fall where they may, but imho, it would be a cryin’ shame to just say screw everybody, you’re on your own from here on out.

Facebook ain't the future of things. It'll fold like a wet rag in a few years. Anyone that praises Facebook as a technological marvel is worse than a dinosaur. It's written poorly, full of ads, and is basically good for the "stream of consciousness" folks. There's no history, nothing easy to find. It's a linear progression of a group conversation, nothing more. And poorly presented. It's for folks who like to say "I'm going to the dentist today" or "Here's a pic of my dog".

And it's patrolled by liberal Fascists, that demand you adhere to their standards or they'll arbitrarily cut you off. And by the way, you have to be "Len Jenkins" on Facebook. You can't be "LJ3". Real names only. So now you're at work and you have to decide if you want to 'play'.

I reluctantly got on it when a camping website blew up and they built a FB site temporarily. I regretted it and tried to delete my account, but I think it's still there. Anytime I click on some FB URL someone posts as a link, it takes me instantly to my sign on page, and if I click "submit", my account is back active. It's like a vampire, it won't go away. Probably my ignorance on how to delete, but I'm done with it. Y'all do what you want. But I won't be FB'ing. I'm for sure that my vote won't swing anything, but I just hate that whole scene.

I'm all about the laughing face! How do we know someone think what we posted is funny? I need to validation on a daily basis to shore up my weak moral character for Pete's sake!

Okay, my two cents. My wife has a Facebook account and I use it to look for pics of the grand kids and every now and then see if certain old school mates are still live. She only got it so we could live stream church while we were shut down. Every day she worries me with how do I do this or what does this mean? It's nice that she still thinks I can do anything but I don't care to fool with the technical stuff because it's slow and clunky and unwieldy at best and I simply don't have any interest in learning it. Did I mention that it's slow?

Maybe it's because I don't have any interest in it but I really don't see where Facebook has a single advantage over a message board or even text messaging. I know that I'm old school but just because something is newer doesn't make it improved or better. If the decision is made to go to Facebook, well, I don't have enough years or brain cells left to spend them waiting for a page to load because I just got a notification only to find Kribbs gave a thumbs up by one of my posts.

I love new technology when it's an improvement over the old but I'm like the blind man here, I just can't see it. At least not for me

To be clear:

1 - I don’t love Facebook. It’s just what’s current
2 - Message boards are just fine
3 - I will give people a hard tome on any platform
4 - Using current technology and trends isn’t always the best option but it’s current. I enjoy current. Who here hasn’t watched YouTube videos? All the shit Bucky complains about is present on YouTube.
5 - different isn’t always bad, unless you want it to be.
6 - We attract that which we seek. Always.

It doesn’t change the reality of anything, but here’s my two cents.

Goodhunting isn’t a platform. Its a group of people who share common interests and often see those common interests from really different perspectives. That doesn’t mean we don’t have to find a long term solution to this software and the web host where it lives. IMO if we look at a platform and everyone isn’t able or doesn’t want to use it (they don’t need a reason IMO), then that platform isn’t a long term answer. I guess what I’m saying is everybody has a veto vote.

Next!

Are you running for office? That doesn't even MEAN anything!

Or am I just dumb?

Nevermind, I'll see myself out.

Wait, should I make some vague reference to leaving or why I left before?

You know, facebook is full of vague shit like that. It's a veritable gold mine of it.

Duh. And WHO owns Youtube?

And how did anything you listed contradict anything I said? You are the Master Obfuscator, trying to get your way. You're like my Mama. She is like a 4 year old. She just holds her breath hoping you'll have pity and give in to her. If not, she will yell. And why single ME out? Why not QA?

I single everyone out, Bucky Buck.

Remember when we used to give each other a hard time because we were all friends and that’s part of what we do?

‘Member? You ‘member!

Personally, I don’t care what anyone does in regard to the site and where it all lands. I’ll participate in whatever platform emerges and be as I always am. Love me or not, your choice :D

Love you? Been lovin you since Bailey was a tot. What's that got to do with disagreeing with you? Nuddin.

I don't care what anyone does either. Well I do but not enough to fight over it or anything. I just disagree with your assessment of Facebook, in general. Your reasoning is specious and capricious.

I try to love him as well, but he can be a real dick.
You ever ride with him? He misses turns and then blames the passenger!
And don’t get me started on his inner sense of direction to find a deer stand in the dark.

Or his ability to straight up disappear from a perfectly good singalong.

Barry, E, and Hankster can tell you the bad stuff. I’m trying to keep things light and funny.
PM me for more details! :)

If ya' wanna hear him scream like a little girl, put him in the front of a canoe, then tell him you'll get him up close and personal with a big ol' gator so he can get some good pics. I held up MY end of the bargain, but I'm not sure if he ever got those close-ups! (REALLY close up close-ups!) :lmao
