USMS just sent out a survey with the question of these forums in it. Am I the only one that got it? If not, please consider filling out the survey. I got it. But I had deleted it. Since you completed it, I dug it out of my trash and completed it. Dan

I've got a medical excuse for not being around; I can probably get a note from my Dr. if you want one.

If not, please consider filling out the survey.I didn't get it ... maybe because I defected to Canada ... about the only thing I kept in the move to the Great White North was my USMS membership (traded my unattached registration in AZ for the same designation in the Niagara LMSC).

We all have this big open water swim we're training for - 40 days and 40 nights. Either that or the age of the internet forum is dying a slow death.

I was going to ask a question about am I wearing my swim cap wrong, but it seemed rather silly for a whole post. As far as what the young people are into these days, personally I value the kind of in-depth discussion I can find on bulletin-board/forum formats. I can get only some of that from FB groups and less from twitter. (Not that twitter is bad, just the format is different.) Yeah, I haven't found any Masters swimming FB groups that have good, in-depth discussion. And I feel like most of the one's I've found at all are geared more toward the open water/distance types, which are not really my genre.

I fear that this type of social media is dying. 7-10 years ago this was a very lively place. Most folks seem to have moved on and the rate of new arrivals has decreased. So yes, Armageddon has happened, it's called Snat-Twit-Face-Gram.

We live in a Trumpy Twitterverse. Places with full sentences and sustained conversations are becoming rarer. Make Discussion Forums Great Again.

Make Discussion Forums Great Again. :D Ohhh, there is SO much I could say in response to that, but politics is a forbidden subject on these forums. I wouldn't want our dear moderator :smooch: (and I mean that sincerely, since he is my Georgia Masters teammate and fellow board member ) kicking me off of here. ;) Having said that, I can say that I do miss several of my former Forumite buddies. That Guy used to crack me up, but he was also very knowledgeable. I'm glad I finally got to meet him at 2013 Summer Nationals. Fly Trap, where have you been? Hey, King Frog, get your teammate back on these forums! He was a pleasure to have around. There were so many others that have come and gone over the nine years I have been on here. I'm glad I at least got to meet several of them at Nationals along the way. Ok folks, it's time for action. All of you who know a former Forumite, encourage them to return to the forums! Just do me a favor, though. Only invite the positive :angel: and encouraging :angel:ones back on here!
