Hi jim!

I've noticed many of the forums are slower than they used to be - and I think facebook groups are part of the reason. The advantage of facebook groups is they are quick, dumb, and accessible easily from a smart phone while you are on the toilet or waiting at a doctor's office. The disadvantage is that they are not searchable (topics just seem to go away and it isn't easy to find an old post - and individual posts won't come up in google searches).

Facebook groups = fun for mindless browsing and quick responses and posting a quick photo.
Forums = good for in-depth information.

Unfortunately we are moving into a quicker, less patient society. I think it is more difficult for many folks to find the time to participate in forums like this than they used to.
