Quite by accident, as I don't frequent the predominant "social media sites" like FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc, I stumbled upon a FB Post about the CTP-Westbound Event that will be held March 30, 2019...and yet there is still nothing about it in the VATSIM Forums. Let me see...VATSIM Signature Event...VATSIM Network...VATSIM Members...on FB, but not VATSIM Forums?

 

Apparently, the "old-timers" who care little for the political diatribe so prevalent in "Social Media" have been placed second to the "new reality". That's okay, I guess...times do indeed change. Or maybe it's the staff just wanting to avoid the rush of "I can't log in to book my slot" and "How do I get my flightplan" and "Really, Heathrow and Boston...Again" posts.

I found it and it seemed to be a Save the Date poster, yet was only published in one narrow social media stream. One would expect important event dates to be published across multiple vectors to reach a wide audience. Some of us keep a cautious distance from Facebook. I troll these forums more frequently than FB these days.
