Posting Pictures WAY Too Large on the Forum

Oh, you haven't? Were you then born yesterday?

Discussion forums have been around more than a decade longer than sites such as MySpace, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Tiktok which were the ones that gave rise to the term "social media". If anything discussion forums such as this are anti-social media.

First, I called another person an entitled jerk for being an entitled jerk. Do you support his ridiculous position of calling out the site owner as lazy just because he asked members to make their posts reasonable size? If not, back off. I have plenty of friendly chats with friendly people. I just have little patience for jerks, and I'm not afraid to confront them. So snowman draws my ire quite often because being a jerk is his m.o.

Second, nothing in your argument that discussion forums predated the term social media is remotely evidence that they aren't social media. In fact, the thing that is being named by necessity must exist before the name that develops for it. The fact of the matter is that internet forums are, by definition, social media, whether you acknowledge it or not. I linked you to a whole list of definitions, all of which describe this forum perfectly. Your response was "nuh uh, this isn't myspace, so it must not also be a social media site." I know you fancy yourself clever, but that's silly.

I can already anticipate your response. "But I don't trust the internet to give accurate information" in spite of the fact that 100% of search results support my position and contradict yours. :rollseyes:
