I noticed that notifications are on here but it must have been a more recent addition! It definitely wasn't there when we set the account up! That's one of the reasons why we always use the hashtags although I don't think they make as much difference on here as they do on Twitter.

That's one thing I think is lacking on here compared to Twitter to be honest - the absence of notifications. I do tend to search on a regular basis for different hashtags and some accounts we follow but apart from replies and mentions we don't get notifications of anything else on here.

Well definitely be able to help there. We've got loads more reviews and articles on the way for the coming weeks and months including looking at plenty of old favourites...

Appreciate the kind words. Think you'll love what we have planned for next year - we've got some surprises in store for everyone...!

We still use Twitter as well although this is certainly a less toxic environment and we've built up a bigger following even though our account hasn't been running as long. We'll keep promoting everything we do on both for the foreseeable future though.

I used to spend a lot of time sharing our links as much as possible but wasn't really sure I was making the best use of my time doing that instead of writing or anything else on the site. It certainly seems that it's worth putting that time in to let everyone know about all our new content though!

This is the first time we've posted for about two weeks as we deliberately kept quiet although we usually share all our reviews and major content. If you do want to get daily updates you can subscribe on the site itself. As for Action Biker, stay tuned...!

Really appreciate your support - means a lot to all of us on the team. We're actually planning a lot of stuff throughout 2026 at the moment and we think we've got some great stuff on the way!

We haven't been ignoring you all the last couple of weeks - we've just been doing an experiment to see if sharing our #Mastertronic reviews and other content on here really does make a difference to how many people read it. When we share links, do you guys ever click on them?
