Every now and then you get a thread that starts, 'This place is quiet', but never the opposite, so I thought I'd say how lively it seems around here lately.

Who needs FB. :D

This and XK are seem to be really thriving. I'm not on facebook, but it seems a lot of kiters converse on that maybe. They will have to tar and feather me before I join facebook

I used to use FB every once in a while. Good for keeping up with some distant family members, etc. I'm sure it is great for some, and I'm not knocking it, but it doesn't hold a candle to PKF! I'm the first one to cheer on XK too, in fact I do it 3.2 times per day! :D

We post more IBX info on Facebook than anywhere other than our website. All the pages like that are public and can be read over and perused without an account. PKF is amazing though and I can't go more than half a day without checking in during normal times. Remember, facebook is only as intrusive and knowledgeable about you as you let it.

OM GOOGLE... I thought I was the only one... No FaceCrack for me either... they would have to tar, feather, and beat me with sticks first.

Me too - never had Faceplant, never will. I do get annoyed when some business or organization puts info I want on it - usually I just write them off. Faceplant has created sort of weird muscle problem for me - every time someone mentions they saw something cool on it my eyes roll and my heat tilts back. :evil::evil:

I love it so much here I never log off....

PKF is a great place to find information and hear what is happening around the world but there are only a few local kiters that post here. A couple of Calgary kite forums have died in the past couple of years because most of the kite crew share their meet ups and experiences on 2 FB groups.

Keep PKF alive and kicking

I'm with you Canuck! Seems Facebook and I only really play lots during carving season.

To the depths with facebarf. I'm 28, and I have a facebarf account. I use it when I'm feeling down. I maybe get on there once MAYBE twice a month. It makes me laugh seeing how "normal" people converse via the web. And weather u r or r not involved with facebarf I say cudos to the rebels. If I wanted to know what u had for dinner EVER I'd ask. I just don't understand the obsession of posting every three minutes of anyday, anywhere, anytime, with no regard for the people who really do just want to say hello to an individual with whom any other means of communication is difficult or non-existent. Seriously impossible to find anything u want to revisit. 45 seconds after u see something it's lost forever in the mindless dribble. FACEBARF BE DAMNED. VIVA PKF.

Not that I feel down as much as once a month. but it does provide a fair amount of chuckles from this guy. Pure ridiculousness.

status update: I'm on my work pc, looking at kite stuff!
status update: Going for a drive later.
Status update: Facebook is full of these useless bits of info

Ok, it was funnier in my head.
