NCRS on Facebook

[Daniel K.]

FYI
I found this by chance.
The NCRS has a facebook group.
Just search for National Corvette Restores Society.

Re: NCRS on Facebook

I have a lot of difficulty understanding why people want to place various kinds of personal information out there on the internet.
True, some types of personal information is posted on sites such as this one, but generally speaking , not the same type of info.

Re: NCRS on Facebook

Its especially unfortunate for kids. Kids have fun or make mistakes and post pics on the internet and ruin their chances at jobs in the future when recruiters investigate them on the web. Once something is on the internet, it is there forever in one place or another.

Re: NCRS on Facebook

Agree 100% with Ian and Tom. I simply don't understand the attraction of these self-important sites. JMHO

Re: NCRS on Facebook

Ian, I used to think "once on the Internet it is there forever," but I recently read a Time Magazine story in the doctor's office that was about the difficulty survivors were having getting access to the Internet sites of their deceased loved ones -- social networking sites and email. The story cited cases winding their way through the courts. It ain't so simple is the bottom line. What most of us forget is that anyone can access what we put on the Internet, and few of us have the ability to see ourselves as others see us.

Re: NCRS on Facebook

Oh, no doubt the original page may be locked down, or deleted or the original site closed, but once something is on the internet, google caches it, someone downloads it, someone copies it, and loads it to another page, someone links to it, etc. Especially if its something juicy like a 1/2 naked teenager posting a pic to her "personal" page. Bad news.

Re: NCRS on Facebook

I think I'll stay right here on a site that's all about Corvettes all the time. There's just too many other "things" going on with Facebook, and there's always the potential for abuse when things are posted on the internet. Sure, we all post information about ourselves and our cars here, and I guess that could be a problem, but I would like to think (maybe wrongly) that we're all interested in ONE thing - CORVETTES. We also answer each others questions and try to provide good info, experience, photos, etc. when we can - I would think with good intent. So, I think we're looking out for each other too even though many of us will never meet each other. Facebook is just too broad, and maybe not as safe. I think that it's been used for less than legitimate purposes in the past, and I think it will be in the future too. I've never heard about anything bad about the NCRS board. I doubt that I'd ever post anything on Facebook. Just my opinion.
