[PSUBS-MAILIST] Thanks Jon - FB moderation

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

 FB has it's benefits and complements our website/mailing list.  I agree photos and videos (along with youtube) are a snap to upload and why not let their servers take the load instead of ours.  However I agree there is an inherent "archival" weakness with FB and after a year or two it can be very difficult to search out specific items.  Additionally, we tend to add photos to social media spontaneously in the moment.  Over time, a projects documentation becomes scattered within hundreds of other posts and time consuming to search out and collect.  This is why I encourage everyone working on a project to create a project page on SUBDB.INFO so there is one central location that you can point people to for your entire project.  Additionally, with proper documentation (operation, maintenance, emergency manuals) it becomes a repository for responders to understand what type of vessel they are dealing with in the event of an emergency.

  Jon,
Thanks for adding a few more people to the FB page for moderation. We can expand out into areas with younger enthusiasts a little quicker by letting them see what we're about.
 The plus side for FB is it's easier to post pics and videos of our projects.  I think the likely negative is the lack of a lasting archive like with this server. I know several times I've done Google searches as "PSubs plus topic" and old useful threads pop up. Hmm ... don't want to just open up either or we'd be overrun by spambots. Fascinating how more subs are coming online lately - maybe a resurgence because of the commercial builders like Triton?
