Anyone with a modicum of self-respect stopped doing it ages ago, when it was seized upon by old fogeys, keen to tell everyone they'd just mown their lawn, finished a cross-word, or heard their labrador fart...all in a few rivetting characters.

I've said enough...and used up about four times my number of available characters, so I'd better st

The young, hip, and trendy, think it's just a place for middle-aged folk to have a moan, using text speak.

I used to have a lot of respect for you Garinda but recently you have struck me as someone no better than the likes of me, who just posts abusive tripe in order to get a reaction. At least I admittedly do it for entertainment and I'm a young idiot, but you should surely have better things to do than act like a teenage girl trying to stir the *ahem*

Er...doesn't seem like tripe to me. Quiet a straight forward observation of the facts.

Just pointing out that most Accy Web threads now appear on Twitter, and asked what other people thought of it.

It's called a discussion.

My only personal comments were that Twitter now seemed a little passé. Mainly being used by the middle-aged, as verified by the supplied links from the press, and not very popular with the young movers and shakers in our society.



As for asking if I'm 'embarrassed', the answer is no.

I've never been embarrassed by anything I've ever posted on here. Mainly because I think what I'm going to post, before actually doing it. Or put it another way...think, before I open my virtual gob. Unlike some.

That you say you once had 'respect' for me, I find a little frightening.

That this is apparently no longer the case, I see as a positive step forward.

At least I'm doing something right.

Now, you've had your little paddy, what do you think of Twitter?

I'd have thought it right up your prematurely old fogeyish street, and you'd love the banality of it all. Given the constraints of posting something short, and hopefully enlightening, and judging by the fact you once sent me a message, saying you were having an apple, and were planning to have sausages for tea later.

Do you have a Twitter account?

It might be worth a read, the next time I can't sleep.

By the way, what did you have for tea tonight?

I'm sure the world and his wife would love to know...not!

I'm touched that you remember these things, as I don't. But I suppose banality must be of prime importance when you spend all your life sat on accyweb, alone, and hoping that someone will care about whatever trouble you are trying to cause this time.

You know, I really feel sorry for you. The difference between you and me is that I post the comments, but you are the one who remembers then months and months afterwards. Haven't you got anything better to spend your time doing?

I have a twitter account that I have never used. I signed up for it because I thought more of my friends would use it but they don't, and so I don't use it.

At the end of the day, every single post comes up in Google, so what is the big fuss about a Twitter account in the site's name that posts up those links?

My Conspiracy Theory,

Anybody noticed that the ex- resident of Espania that hangs about but no longer posts, always seems to go offline, just before Glynneweb logs on and attacks?

Now that, isn't the Conspiracy, my thought is, why when Glynneweb obviously is attempting to argue with me, hasn't my best pal come on and added anything in an attempt to prove it was me that was wrong all along?

Surely there couldn't be someone on here with two user names, I certainly hope not.

Any posts you make are in the public domain any way. By having comments echoed to twitter it might even bring in new members. We could do with so new ones as a lot of the old ones are getting boring :rolleyes:

OK Grandad, I'll answer that.

I don't post at the current time by choice.
I am registered once and once only.

It is time you went back to the drawing board and ask yourself why you feel
anyone who takes issue with you is a threat?

Will any of the site admin care to comment on what is happening here?


Link.

I dont see any FAQ as mentioned above though?

(And there is no link to the rules at the bottom of the pages any more.

You have the option in your profile of which information you make available to the general public.

As for duplication though, technically anything 'published', which does include things like blog posts and indeed presumably forum posted text, is then technically under copyright protection... BUT, as it is afforded to your username and nobody is trying to say otherwise, you are being suitably cited for your post in some way and that would be enough for the forum to have no problems with what it is doing. Consider it a bit like an RSS news feed, only via twitter.

Nothing stops me posting stuff off accyweb into my own blog as long as I make it known where my source is and as far as I know, don't try to profit from it in bad faith.

Basically, when you post anything up on a website that isn't controlled by yourself though, you might as well accept that you are handing over some degree of rights to whatever you post and you have absolutely no chance of really enforcing any substantial rights over anything.

The official accyweb twitter account can be found at accyweb (accyweb) on Twitter and it has been running for quite a while, happily only posting stuff from general chat. As you can see if you view the official account it has quite a few followers. It also pulls in quite a bit of traffic to the site.

So I am doing one account, and it is used for promoting our website. I also advertise on google, facebook and many other social media type websites. I hope that is ok with you?
