Fox Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 As we count down to the last days of Captain Twill thoughts turn to the future of historical pirate discussion. Facebook is not such a good medium as Twill has been over the years, but it's unlikely to go away any time soon, so may I extend an invitation to any denizens of Twill who are not already members to join the Authentic Pirate Living History group on Facebook.

Coastie04 Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 Moderators of said facebook group might want to have a couple of 'canned' answers to common questions filed away in a word document so that they can just be cut/pasted when those inevitable questions arise. You know: bucket boots, proper flags and why pirates say "arrrgh" all the time. Unfortunately we can no longer cite/link pyracy.com...

Fox Posted December 22, 2016 Author Posted December 22, 2016 You think we don't already?

Coastie04 Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Well, in good sailor fashion, I assumed the best, but prepared for the worst. She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail
lwhitehead Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Are you saying that this section of the Pub is going to be deleted?, LW
Fox Posted December 26, 2016 Author Posted December 26, 2016 The whole of the Pub is being closed down, yes. There is a thread explaining HERE.

lwhitehead Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Then were will I have my Pirate and Naval facts and info from?, LW
Swashbuckler 1700 Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) Hmm. It seems all fairly specific and concentrated on reenacting. Do you deal with related but slightly deeper historical points? Edited December 28, 2016 by Swashbuckler 1700 "I have not yet Begun To Fight!"John Paul Jones
Jib Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 I joined the facebook group awhile back. Very nice. Still going to miss the pub however.
lwhitehead Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 I can't use Facebook, any other form of Social Media, I need forums. LW

At least for someone like me, and who is too a "weird" foreigner, it is less fun to lose this "privacy" behind anynomous forum account... But something to get used to I guess. (BTW Foxe: I have your document collection book now. It is great, of course. Really something that makes me feel hunger of information is fairly well satisfied) Edited December 30, 2016 by Swashbuckler 1700 "I have not yet Begun To Fight!"John Paul Jones
Fox Posted December 31, 2016 Author Posted December 31, 2016 There are plenty of weird foreigners in the APLH group, but I understand what you mean. Still, it might be a case of beggars not being choosers. I hope you enjoy the documents. Volume II is in the works, but other projects keep getting in the way...

Mary Diamond Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Thank you, Fox, for keeping us afloat... Oooh, shiny!
