Are you a member of any other senior forums

..and do you use the same nom de plume as on this one?

I am a member of several , and I use a different ID on each for various reasons!

I have seen several members of this forum on one of our biggest UK based over 50's forums because they are using the same name but some are using a different one but have the same stories to tell as on others so they are easy to spot..not that there's anything wrong in that at all, far be it for me to infer it.:)
 

No, I don't belong to any other senior forums. I don't care for any others I've seen online, and being born and raised in the USA, I prefer one that is American based. I probably wouldn't belong to any if this one didn't exist.
 
This is it for me. I can't imagine belonging to more than one forum. I have found this forum to be very comfortable and user friendly....My thanks to all who "make it so"! :)
 

I agree with you all in that this is such a lovely forum with very friendly members and I really like it. When I'm fed up or been watching some hard and or angry debate on the other forums I come here and know that reading everyone's posts here is like stepping into a sunny garden with a favourite book after being out in the harsh winter, so I thank you all for that..but there are many American members on one of the UK forums of which I'm a member, and I have noticed in some a completely different style of posting than on here. Perhaps they feel they can be more assertive or opinionated on the UK one. I do think that a lot of people like to use different forums for different ways of posting sometimes.
Me?..I have pretty much the same style of posting everywhere I go. ;)
 
I've dabbled on loads of forums and in fact ran my own UK based one for several years...but always use the same name 'romfty' could'nt use different ones, because I would probably forget and besides...............whats the point ? I always comment from the heart and using a different name would'nt change that.
 
No other senior forum for me. .:D.. this is a great board for everything, and I learn so much on here all the time!

But, I do have other boards that I've been on for years, that are mainly sports related..and they have a totally different landscape and are fun too in their own way.
And I do play on Twitter.

I have seen you on several forums over the years romfty :D
 
Was on two others for a long time but gradually dropped hem both.

Now, THIS is the only one and is the best despite the fact that it's becoming very clinical/medical.
 
I was on a "Baby Boomer" forum once, but too many that weren't "Baby Boomers" started getting on it. I enjoy talking with folks that have been thru and seen what I've seen in life. And, besides that, there were too many of the younger generation coming on the that forum and swearing (you know, that really bad word). Wife and I don't use it and I hate seeing it. Today, some use abbreviations, so they can get away with using the word. I've used a computer WAY TO LONG, to not know what the letters stand for.

We are also on Facebook. Love seeing what some of my old classmates are up to. One of them set up an account for a Reunion they had, but I wasn't able to go. Wife and I also have some relatives on FB and like reading/seeing what they've been up to.

The folks on here talk descent and that is a MAJOR plus to me for being in this forum. This forum is TERRIFIC!!
 
I'm only on here and a country living form. I also keep a check on facebook. I was on another senior forum for awhile but it got so every time I logged on it my computer would get all screwed up, so I quit going there.
 
I'm on two other forums, both Australian. They get about as much attention as this one has, not much lately. I've been reading comments here but not making any. This is the best forum.
 
This is the only senior forum I'm on - when you've tried all the rest you come back to the best. ;)

Besides - I can barely keep up with just this one ... don't you people ever SLEEP?!? :confused:

Phil, Being house bound for five months can drive you a bit nuts, but SF has made this year's hibernation go a lot faster. Sure beats peeping out the window and pouting. :hide: :wave:

Yeah, I see your point. :eagerness:

I'm pretty much house-bound myself, but of my volition. It's what we monks do. :cool:

LOL Phil, it's just a matter of having several open at the same time, you can just open one door one minute and then go through into the next room the next minute! :cool:

Forums are a definite godsend for people who are housebound for whatever reason. I'd like to bet that there would be far more people diagnosed with depression caused by loneliness if there were no social interaction on forums
 
I have joined quite a number of them, I left most of them as they were rubbish, imo. One particular one had the Admin asking for money all the time, apparently the guy was using it as his source of income. I would NEVER donate to any forum, none of them at that good!
 
I've been on several over the years, but three vanished into cyberspace for several reasons. I'm on FB and a football forum. The football forum is fairly seasonal, so I'm not there year round. I really like the format here & the people I've met seem great. This is the first time I've used "behdune" on a forum. I usually just go by Bev.
