For those that haven't seen this, we've started a private Twitter chat group, in case the site goes down again. I'm future-proofing here also... if anything happens to SnookerIsland, i.e. Roland has a fit and shuts it off or similar, it means we will have a place where we can plan our next move to a new Island. We are a family here, and we will find a new Island, or perhaps a well-appointed cruise ship, if we have to. You just need to follow me @dan_cat and I'll add you to the group.
If you don't use Twitter, it's easy to create an account, even if you don't use it for anything other than this chat group.
Long live SnookerIsland!

I've said it before - if I have to I'll hop on a flight and go see Roland in Leeds and buy him beer if I have to negotiate with him. Prop can put me up.

You'd think right? But no. I hardly use Twitter. I read it, but don't post. No interest in it. Have had the same amount of followers for years.
You have to follow me for me to be able to add you to the group.
I actually care about the Island and keeping this group together.

ok. Now I feel silly for being so defensive.
I actually dislike Social media quite a lot. I don't use Facebook, apart from business stuff. But it's my main revenue stream at the moment. The agency happened by accident. A happy accident!

Same as me, not much interest on Twitter.
I do use Facebook a lot though. Though it's silly many people who used Facebook now only care for Instagram.

I set up twitter in 2012 and hardly ever use it. I have about 5 followers and don't know some of them!
I hate social media but have followed Dan Cat in case I get forced to use it!

14 members in the Twitter group now. We have no idea what will happen with the site today so do please join.
If you don't want to join with your main Twitter account which is totally understandable then set up a new anonymous one.
