How do we move on?

I've just been looking through the last few weeks of posts and I guess that there's probably less than 20 of us that regularly post on here, with probably a few new members who contribute occasionally.  But given the total membership of the CC we are nothing more than a mere pimple on the Elephants B**b.  So,- its not really any wonder that the CC ruling body take very little notice (If any) of what we say.

So how do we improve things? Personally I have long thought that our power of debate and thought, is often diluted by cynical humour. However, given our tiny ability to influence things, that is not really surprising.

So how do we make this forum more influential?

Or perhaps that is not our role?  I really do not know, & even if I did, that would do little to ease the situation, because others would seek to argue the opposite view.

So where do we go from here? Do we accept that we are of no real value at all?  Should we try harder to show the way forward?  But perhaps that's not our role!   Maybe just a light weight banter fellowship will be always our role.  But if that is the case why do we get so cross when we think that someone else is upsetting or disagreeing with us?

Perhaps its too late, and I should go to bed, but I really do think that once we were on to something, - now I'm not so sure!

To add to this, I can confirm that we will not be merging CT into Facebook! Never fear...

Never thought for moment you would but thanks for the confirmation. Are the two run by seperate teams?

Rochelle - well done on acting so swiftly to remove the offending comments and allowing the thread to re-open. So often in the past interesting threads have been closed, never to see the light of day again, because of one or two ill considered remarks. Happy

Hi Peedee,

I work as part of the Social Media team, so you could say that Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and CT are run by the same group of people (myself and my colleagues).

We mentioned this when we launched Facebook, but the message still rings true: Facebook will not be a substitute for Club Together, it’s another channel that we can use to communicate with our members, and that our members can use to communicate with us.

I don't know what the 'offending' post said. I see that one of mine has been removed, but that only commented on someone else's that was out of order. If that offended anyone, I apologise.

However, thank you Rochelle for re-opening the thread. Too many threads get closed for consideration and are never seen again. So much better to remove the problem post, add an explanation and then move on.

I'm also glad to hear that the new forum is approaching and won't be merged with facebook.
