The N&G Twitter Account

[Enoch]

Just a thought for content, but I think @Enoch ’s interview thread getting an update would be a worthwhile addition to the Twitster feed. It’s a great community showcase.

That is very kind of you, I won't chime in on it as I am biased, but again I am flattered, it will be up and running very soon

I knew you wouldn’t suggest it yourself, but yeah, it’s a cool member-forward feature, particularly for the newbies to prove we don’t bite.

I was going to post a biting emoji but I didn't see one

We only have the lick emoji, but you have to unlock the I’LL GET YOU NEWMAN trophy to use it.

Posting the Enoch's Interview Thread is cool / a good idea, but can we move it to the Member's Only area before doing so. There's potentially some sensitive information that's posted there and at least making people jump through the hoop of joining the forum before they can read it would probably be a good thing to do... probably should be done anyway.

@Enoch are you ok with this?

Actually if we do this then sharing on twitter is pointless because only registered members can see threads in that subforum.

 

[Colonel_Angus]

twitter is pointless

Agreed.

The interviews were never roadblocked and completely crawlable before, but I suppose this isn’t that and things change. I guess it depends on how closed off you want the community and the intent of the forum/socmed accounts. Just thought it was a cool feature worth promoting.

There is a nice AotM that has been revealed today ! Great content, great success.

Also a new guess thread. Even bigger success !

I have no opinion on making it a member only thread, question though, if it was made so and the link was posted to Twitter what would happen if a non-member clicks on it, would it ask them to login or just be broken, something else

You are greeted with a 'You must be logged-in to do that.' message. Then given the option to either log-in or register.

so then they seem to be compatible ideas if that is how it goes

When they were being done on the VMP forum it was a public space that was being advertised by a company. It's a bit different directly linking it, but no that much different.

I don't mind either way though, up to you guys.

 

[Jan]

Yep, we'll be doing insta too. We have a Facebook account but very much doubt we'll use it.

Until you are able to release an david Hasselhoff Anthology box set . I want a secret facebook group with an ama, then.

 

[GritNGlitter]

Probably #Needles&Grooves, I'm not sure if #N&G is attributed so something else? If not, the shorter the better.

UPDATE: Doesn't look like #N&G is attributed to anything. So, shall we make it a thing?

Are symbols compatible with hashtags? I think they break the link.

 

[Enoch]

My opinion is that it's courteous to ask the interview subject if they're comfortable with their interview being promoted on twitter. I'm not sure why it being public here or elsewhere is relevant? A members only section didn't exist before and now it does. Whatever people want to do is fine with me but again the option should be given to keep it private to the forum members if possible. Again, I just brought it up because posting things on twitter, facebook, reddit, wherever potentially exposes people more than they want to be exposed.

@Enoch can you remove my interview from the thread? I'll just stay out of the conversation then.

This is a good point. If we were to go this route I would need to put it as a disclaimer, but I now do think it should be a member only thread.

 

[GritNGlitter]

I would definitely want to redact/edit some of mine if we started promoting it. And I agree it should be in the members only section.

maybe the twitter account could just promote that it exists without a direct link if people really want it mentioned, so it finds the middle ground.

Just double checked this - you’re right. Symbols won’t work.

 

[Skalap]

IIRC I saw a profile post yesterday about the hashtag we should use on social medias. Was something decided? I've been using #needlesandgroovesforum on Instragam and I know other have too but I won't mind to change if needed. We must all use the same # if we want to improve the visibility of our forum.
