Re: [VFB] I'll take the VFB list over any Forum
MeddelandeI'm in agreement with most here, and Nick. There are advantages for each system, and also chat rooms. I rarely visit forums- too impersonal I am only on one email list- this one. I like chat rooms, but most are useless banter- not much about fishing and flies. I'll stick with this one (VFB) if it stays active. DonO - Original Message - From: Niclas Runarsson To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, January 29, 2010 5:54 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] I'll take the VFB list over any Forum There are advantages and hindsides with both. (Note: I'm not talking PC based email software.) Forums keep the topics organized while lists mix them all up together... but on the other hand, a list lay them all up in front of you and you don't have to look for or miss any new ones. Forums save the information (without having to fill your own inbox/mail folders) categorized for later and easy viewing (not having to look through thousands of messages) and just as easily by new members... but on the other hand, when a forum malfunctions or get hacked, a lot of it can easily get lost. Forums are more visible to the public and generate more members... but on the other hand, since they are more visible (and don't fill up mailboxes) they attract more of the less serious members (including spam robots) Forums let moderator teams clean up the mess... but on the other hand, lists let the individual decide what actually is mess. Forums keep the information separated from your private mail... but on the other hand, you have to go somewhere else to read them Forums makes it easier to not send offlist messages to the rest by mistake... but on the other hand, lists increase the chance to see peoples mistakes. LOL Forums post your message immediately while mails can get problems and take hours... but on the other hand, if your girlfriend is downloading heavily and the router fails, your long forum message will get lost when you post it (grr), while your email software will keep it in the outbox until the connection is up again. But... lists give more of this intimate group feeling... the thing that overrides the rest. :o) /Nick -Ursprungligt meddelande- Från: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com [mailto:vfb-m...@googlegroups.com] För Dail Graham Skickat: den 29 januari 2010 08:10 Till: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Ämne: Re: [VFB] I'll take the VFB list over any Forum I have never been able to master the forums.

Re: [VFB] I'll take the VFB list over any Forum
Hay Dan. That brought you out of the woodwork. We need more members to do the same.

I will finally come out of lurk mode and add to this discussion. I too agree with most of the replies here. I am members of both forums and lists like these, and both have their pluses and minuses. For me. I like the ease and informality of lists like this over the forum set-up. Just so much more personal and easy to use to me. Even though I don't post much here, and don't participate in many of the fly swaps, I read most of the messages posted. Well, maybe not most of them, but some of them...well, OK you got me, maybe a few messages get past the reading of the subject line, LOL. In all seriousness, I have learned a lot from this group. I am sure I will continue to learn as more and more posts are made. Not only do I learn about fly tying and fishing, which is great, I also gain some insight as to who the members here are. That in itself is reason enough to be a member here. Thanks guys, I feel as though I have friends from around the world, from Sweden to South Africa, from Australia to England. From the USA, and even from Kansas! I know that if I need to know something, I can post the inquiry here on VFB, and usually withing minutes, I will have an answer. That in itself is worth the price of admission here. To top it off, the answers arrive in my mailbox automatically and all by themselves, without me needing to click on a link to go somewhere else to read the reply. If I were to ask the same question on a forum, and if I forget to 'subscribe' to the thread, and I get distracted for a day or two and I forget to check the forum, I may never see any replies. At any rate, thanks for this thread. It has brought some life to VFB. And now, since I am working 32 hours a day, I shall, out of necessity, return to the realm of lurkdom until I can take my next breath of air ( I am not allowed to breathe while at work! LOL). Have fun and smooth waters, Salty Dan If at first you don't succeed, maybe you shouldn't try sky diving! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: [VFB] I'll take the VFB list over any Forum
I'm also a member of a couple of forums as well as this one email list. I personally prefer this format for 2 reasons, the first being its more informal, which may result in some paople finding it easier to post here than on forums. The other being that when I work away it is easier to pick up and read emails than to go to forums. Ashley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.
