Thread: Twitter, get rid of it, keep it, or don't care?

Why is it that it must be there, following my every movement? If we have to have it for the few who enjoy the new toy, make it an option - one that can be turned on, OR TURNED OFF.

What an overreaction.

The admins have already said they're going to change it so it's less obtrusive, so why bother getting all hot under the collar about it?

Another don't really care here. Don't use it at the moment but it's not in my way.

Hate it and for the love of ______ (place name of whatever deity here) please get rid of it. I'm "one of those" who believes that Twit-er and the like are responsible for the downfall of personal interaction skills in society - you know, dealing with real people.

Hey, I'm only half joking! But seriously, get rid of it already.

Huge +1... Like has already been said, it's not that big a deal though because the admins have already said they were planning to move it. Whatever they do, I'd like to keep a twitter presence for the forum. It could be a great way to reach new guys and attract members to the forum. Increasing the interest in straight shaving is the key to us having a continued supply of great products for our little obsession... Whatever helps grow the community, I'm on board for! Thanks guys!

It seems like a rather small blip on the left hand side of my screen now, but when it first appeared it was a little annoying. I think, in time, it will be possible to completely ignore it!
I think the guys deserve a longer trial of it, but whenever i have a look (on the offchance i'm missing out) it seems largely filled with inane drivel. No offence meant to any of you guys. Inane drivel provides a nice background to the forum anyway!

What about those of us who use Twitter, but have no problem with it being moved around or changed so as not to bother those of you who are upset with it.

Why would we take offense to being told that we are posting useless and devoid of intelligence messages on there?

Twitter is being used as a way to strengthen our connections here on a more personal level, and I think it's a great additional resource providing us the opportunity to use it as an outreach tool, potentially attracting more members to the forum. It's a little blip to the left that stays in place as the screen moves. I cannot see why this has caused such a ruckus

where is the vote option for "I don't care"?
