cencalfly 0 Report post Posted Thursday at 06:31 PM Is there a way we can get the Facebook page going again? Seems like the last post was in 2015. Maybe open it up to other people to post about forum activities. It may be a way to reach out to old time members and newbies. Hopefully grow forum participation. If such is desired.

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted Friday at 08:52 PM The reason we got rid of the FB page is because it takes away from the forum. There are a lot of forums that are sadly no longer around because of FB. That's actually why the other sites we use to run (RBF and TFF) are no longer around. It would be nice if it would actually work as an "in addition" to the forum here, but time has proven that is not the case with many forums. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cencalfly 0 Report post Posted Sunday at 06:54 AM Didn't mean to rile up the masses. Wasn't thinking of using Facebook as a replacement to the forum. Only as a place to make announcements of what is going on in the forum. And, redirecting those interested to forum posts. Just trying to think of ways to increase participation. We've had swaps that did not fill up and other posts that seem to languish. Maybe people are swapped out. I don't know. Just thinking out loud. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
