Dave Buckley Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) Just wondered if anybody in here is a member of any 3ds max groups on any social networking sites such as Facebook?? Would be good to keep the community going and start putting faces to names/avatars/alter ego's Edited October 1, 2008 by Dave Buckley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Buckley Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Lets keep it just for cgarchitect members??? Get everyone on it and lets get them to include there cgarchitect screenname so we can start seeing who people are this could be good and may well turn into another useful resource, also good for people uploading renders, keeps them all in one place (a new source of inspiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) I think I'd prefer it kept to just the social side of the members, and not so much about business. As for posting renders and such that's why we have the forums here, I wouldn't want to detract from the content of the CGA site. That's what makes it great in the first place. Members can always post links on facebook to their recent uploads here on the site. I'm open to hear opinions on if it should be open or closed to the public, my thoughts are that is if it's open it may draw more attention to CGA which I see as a good thing.

Dave Buckley Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'm game for that, lets just stick to members social sides and name the group something like cgarchitect social networking and leave it open to public. more opinions on this guys you never know we may find that we are actually closer to a lot of our fellow members than we think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Buckley Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 i'm liking this idea more and more, would be good to see what other interests people have outside of 3d/cg unfortunately, i can't log in to facebook until work finishes, they block it during working hours, silly them, they only blocked it on one server, switching to the other server gives us perfect access anyway, too busy for facebook in work, but will join the group when i get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Thomas Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Sounds good, but I find it hard enough to keep up with my bebo, myspace and flickr pages without adding another one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 That's why you drop myspace.... looking at that much garbage they call page designs will deteriorate your creative ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJLynn Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Heh. There was already a Facebook group. It's very exclusive - only for those enterprising enough to find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hmmm... only 8 people on the site use facebook? There's got to be more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneis Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I guess it's just a Generation Y thing. Notice that every "yes, I'm in" post is from someone under the age of 30. Regards, Crusty Old Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandmanNinja Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 hahahahha I've never even surfed to the FaceBook (or MySpace or MyBook or FaceSpace) website. If you've got time to SuperPoke someone, then you should be doing more renders... (note: I overheard some GenY people talking - I'm not sure what a SuperPoke is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Thomas Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 See, if you'd asked 2 years ago I might have said yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Facebook actually saves time because it lets you keep up with people you are socially obligated to, but don't like, without actually talking with them. It also has this great effect where you get a friend request from some random person you haven't seen in 15 years and you end up chatting with them and find out that they're now gay Republican trail guides in Iraq.

Stephen Thomas Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 If it wasn't for social networking sites, I would never have known that the word 'random' could be used as a noun. Much like the fact that without daytime tv makeover shows I wouldn't have known that 'antique' could be a verb. And to think I got an A in english...

SandmanNinja Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Well, my only form of online socialising are forums, and I only hang out on 2. I use messenger for chat, but only have 4 people on my list (2 are family). If someone asks me for my messenger details, I just tell them to email me. "I don't have time to chat in real time. E-mail is perfect. It lets each party talk when he/she has the time to do so." I use to play Chess by Mail (real mail, not e-mail). I can be a patient person, as long as I take things into context. If I haven't talk to someone in 15 years, then I don't need to talk to them. Might sound harsh, but it's true. Co-Workers are always after me to get a FaceBook page or whatever. At work, I'm paid to talk to them. Not much incentive to do so after hours, eh? That sounds harsh, but it's true. There are exceptions, but not very many. The two people that aren't family members on my Messenger, they fluctuate. If I don't talk to them very often, I assign a weighted value to their status. If enough days go by without a conversation, the ratio dips low enough to drop them. I usually don't put someone else back in there for at least a month or two. Yes, I'm a grumpy old man.
