All good dude, don't stress Although truth be told, my intentions for starting it were innocent... other than TPSN and Parkz, I actually didn't even know that any other theme park related FB pages existed until recently lol. As you guys know I go to the local theme parks a LOT, and I was starting to feel a little bad for the friends and family on my Facebook whom didn't live on the GC (or had no interest in theme parks) and were frequently being subjected to my photos and what not.
A friend of mine who is a massive movie buff recently started his own movie review channel on Youtube, which gave me the idea of starting my own little spot for my passion, somewhere where I could split away my FB friends who did have an interest in my theme park related posts. I posted a status asking everyone if they would be interested in such a thing if I started one, got an overwhelmingly positive response, I got excited and began bursting with ideas, so I went ahead with it
Initially it was intended to just be a blog for friends/family I know, but then one thing led to another... my frustrations toward TPSN drove me to want to do a better job at what he was trying (and failing) to do, which is why I stepped up to make it something of a bigger scale - converting my Youtube & Instagram accounts toward the same cause. Things have pretty much just rolled from there and turned it into what it is today. Still only have what I consider to be a large handful of followers @ around the 160 mark, but its still enough to drive me forward and continue making the best effort I can That and my rising interest in photography which I love sharing my efforts to the world with
Lmfao!!! You're not wrong Tbh I started following his page a few years ago, when I was naive and didn't know there were better ones around. I guess up until now I had just attempted to keep the peace, but yeah bugger it, after today I am over it. I've already had a go at him in the past about deleting my posts and supposedly we were starting on a clean slate
It's a shame he doesn't want to be a good sport and a team player like the rest of us who run theme park related stuff. The irony is that he pops up on my page from time to time and makes snark comments, despite the fact he has never bothered to 'like' it. So apparently he is keeping an eye on me. Not that I really give a shit anyway
Thanks, and that's exactly the reason I made it a blog, to clarify that it's the theme parks from my POV and not as a standard view I also wanted to be able to make personal comments and opinions on things as well, kinda give them my own personal touch
Yeah, that and I don't want to cause any conflict of interest with Parkz. Not that I see anything I have created as anywhere near the scale of this site or popularity by all means, nor do I intend to cause any kind of drama by running a theme park related blog! But I prefer to try and keep them separate regardless, as I admire and respect the huge effort that Richard has put into this website, and I wouldn't see it as fair to try and redirect any of his traffic away from this site.
Man, I've been a member of this forum for 10 years now. Parkz is like my online home, and you guys are my family lol So despite running a blog out of personal interests, I am only happy to preach this site on my own page as much as I can, and do what I can to continue to help Parkz grow too. My loyalty is to this site. Richard knows this
Hahaha, kinda reminds me of DJs these days (despite the fact I married one - at least he is a real one from oldskool days )...
PS. Sorry this post is so long... sheesh... 6 hours at work tonight and come back online to a hundred posts I wanted to respond to, hahaha
