I must own up to being highly amused by the term 'social network'.

I have seen pics of about 6 youngsters sitting around a table, all on their bbs, and nobody speaking (by mouth).
A couple on a date doing the same thing.

Social, my posterior!

There is a difference between a conversation over the phone and a social network
By the way it seems that the dad's are the worst with their ipads. When you end up telling your father to put his phone away at the dinner table

It is the mother in our family c2111.

With respect, I don't think this topic is going anywhere.

The "sightings trackers" will continue to do what they do, and us old fogies will do what we do, the old fashioned way.

Status Quo.

VAL, I do agree, but lets hear from the Appies, how are you going to get the problems sorted.

I want to throw my 5c into the mix.
As a KNP visitor since the 70's I can guarantee that this kind of behaviour i.e. speeding, traffic jams, hanging out of cars etc.. has always been around. What modern media has done is create much more awareness about it. You never heard of those things because, well there was no means of broadcasting it. The "sighting speedsters" have always been there and probably always will be.
Personally I belong to a FB group where I like to read up in the evenings what people have seen that day. Do I race out the next day to that spot, no, because animals move around.

And to be labeled a "pirate viewer" just because someone comes across another car watching something.... seriously? Just as selfish in my opinion.

Are you guys too chicken to join us on a weekend Challenge to see if the apps reign superior?

I think that's an awesome idea!!
App users vs non app users?

I'm in!

See now the normals are in...
We got an appie, oss you will have to get a few fellow appie mites to join in
And then... Where is the stiffies?

Busy ogling a Skimmer somewhere.

Maybe they shouldn't come... They don't know how to have fun in anyway...

But I must tell you, that if there were any goodlooking Stiffies out there I would have also gone to look for the Skimmer, and taken a few pics of the chics...

Siffies are too stiff for a challenge They mos purists you know very serious people

The red banner will definitely not be waved that weekend...
