Falling out with the f-b group

[shaunroche]

Coming back to Facebook, cheers for the background Steve, now that I know that people are getting kicked off that Facebook group because just one person effectively controls it, and is having a hissy fit then I'm out as well.

I was not at all happy with the attitude shown in that Facebook thread at all. As I see it, if you want club parts, and you want a 'discount' then you join the club, it's quite simple, and is exactly the way that every Kickstarter project works for example. A club like TDC needs membership income to be able to produce parts for its members using the resources available to it; when that Facebook Group manages to get something remanufactured, I'll reconsider my opinion.

Easy way to join the official TDC Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/officialTDCgroup/

Exactly, very well put!

I was absolutely disgusted and appalled by both the tone and language displayed on the FB post in question aimed directly at persons from our Club.

I have left that other group and joined one that I know will be run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts , ethically and justly, for all the right reasons.

Many thanks to all concerned for setting it up!

Onwards and upwards!

Just testing for size

There are two thumbnail sizes:

'Thumbnail' 180x180 pixels maximum


'Hotlink' 1200x1200 pixels maximum


And I'm afraid that only the TDC website admin can change the default if everyone prefers the bigger one.

Though is this an excuse to keep posting your nice looking Dolomite Tony?

Thumbnails are fine if they are clickable to a larger image, especially if they keep costs to the Club down.

The Club doesn't have the advertising revenue of Facebook to subsidise gratuitous picture hosting, but then neither will the Club claim copyright of any picture posted either

This a rare one of it being washed lol. I like that size youve done there

Alun and James have been fired, Jeroen and I quit in protest! Steve

James left on his own accord (or it may have been an Acclaim)

There wasn't any 'language' aimed at any TDC member.

Poor language does not necessarily mean swearing though, does it? Also, James disagrees with your statement in a post on another thread.

I read the entirety of that post before it was deleted by the group's main admin, and therefore fully aware of what was said. Either way, it really does not take a high IQ to see that they really do not like TDC and go out of their way to criticise the TDC and it's operation, and not for the first time either. It's their group, clearly they can do and say as they please, and likewise, anyone can be an apologist for the admin as much as they like, but I have left that group and encourage others to do likewise.

I'm here for the great cars, a nice hobby keeping my own car on the road, and being a member of a club whose sole purpose is to help me in that pursuit, let's keep egos out of the mix.

So with a club FB page, I assume only club members are accepted to join, is that how it will work?

Just like most of this forum, open to all, why not join? https://www.facebook.com/groups/officialTDCgroup/

Request sent. I looked for it after reading all the posts etc and have sent a request to another group with similar initials

James left on his own accord

No he didn't.

I was conversing with James at the time, both of us were also online and equally astonished at the events as they unfolded; he was blocked by the admin, as was I moments later.
