For better or worse, I have created a Secret DTer Facebook group. By listing as secret members must be invited and accepted in and can only be seen by group members.

My intention is to allow for a faster/easier use of Technologies for listing and finding rides. This is in no way intended to replace the DTer Forum, which contains a wealth of trash talking and other useless info.

Once I get a couple people added, I will give a few people moderator power to help add people.

I just need to get a couple people started up, so find me on the Facebooks under Matthew Kogan.

Isn't that ^^ exactly what a forum is for? Dunno about you but I have never had problems finding rides here (back when people actually posted them)

Downside of secret FB group is you'll not get to ride with new people that you might meet through a forum.

In summary: Facebook sucks

+2...I am a FB (ab)user, but I think a forum is far superior to FB for specific areas of interest.

Then let's use the Forum to post rides and times instead of secret text messages...

I'm not on FB, and I don't plan to be, either.

Then again, aside from the occasional trail work, I hardly ever see any DTers. Certainly not to ride with.
