You need either less judgmental, or better informed friends, I think!
It's only a website, it's not real life

Excellent - glad there's a few more members.

The point of the Facebook group is not to take posts away from the core V3M forums, but more a way of exploiting all the powerful networking tools available there

I had a picture of me driving my 300 on a track for a fair while, but it was a zoom of my face! I'll join when I get 5 mins!

just a thought to face book. i got this from a news article.

"Beware of Fraudbook, ID theft 2.0
Next up, think carefully about what information you post online. Facebook is a great site for keeping in contact with old friends, but it also gives fraudsters access to loads of personal information, from date of birth to phone numbers (all useful information for ID theft).

A random sample of 200 users in the London Facebook network by anti virus company Sophos found 75% allowed their profiles to be viewed by any other user. With over a million users in London alone, it’s clear fraudsters are being spoilt for choice.

If you’re on Facebook, consider changing your security settings so that only your friends can view your profile, and limit how much information you post. You may also consider ‘tweaking’ some of your details – such as your date of birth - so that they won’t be of use to fraudsters. If nothing else it’s a great excuse to make yourself younger.

Finally, check your credit file for accuracy, looking for unauthorised activity- such as accounts which aren’t yours, or credit searches by companies you haven't dealt with. You can arrange to receive your credit file regularly to monitor credit applications made in your name. "

This is a piece of a security warning i got.

its worth thinking about.
tryed to sign up yesterday but couldent

Cheers
will
