<p>While privacy is available to some degree..not posting on iKC is not allowed. Just to distinguish the two! So you might say choose to be private but posting in groups or chatting or liking a picture is needed! Worst thing you can do is join and not do anything...my advice do that on those other guys!</p>

<p>Manx,</p>
<p>WOW, I had not thought about that...honestly. Can anyone answer me the question do you have the option to make your "my page" private. If you do that does it prevent the photos you post there not able to be shared? It is a thought and I will try it with the test profile this weekend!</p>

<p>I'm still trying to grasp how this is like Facebook. Is it the layout? There are plenty of CMS programs that use a format similar to this. Is it the ease of posting? If that the case, then bring it on! </p>

Too bad there isn't a way to exclude one's self from FB exposure. I know of a few members that would be back as regulars if that were possible. I love what we have here, but if I wanted to be on FB, well...I would be on FB...lol. Other forums just seem so impersonal and sterile with their "forum format" and rampant negativity...I am truly grateful for what Jan and Scott have made for us here, but if I were asked, I'd say let people go to Facebook if they want a Facebook layout. I am hoping the new layout with 3.0 allows us to gravitate away from it as a whole, but leaves options for those that wish to use it. For some of us, it just feels like Facebook is constantly being rammed down our throats with no choice or option to avoid it. (I tried to rant, Tobias...I really did.)</p>
<p></p>
<p>That being said...I think between all the options we have here, some kind of feedback is available to all, no matter what your preferences or time constraints, or literary shortcomings. I know for me personally, if feels good when someone takes the time to appreciate what I've done or said with some form of acknowledgement. A little encouragement goes a long way!</p>
