I’ve been giving this one some though. Seems FB is the “new” gathering place, but mostly the posts contain less specific topics. Also, you might have non qualified individuals responding to help topics. I wouldn’t have my bike if it weren’t for this site, as I would have given up on getting it sorted years ago.
The “better than FB” factor we have here are the remaining members, with their higher level of knowledge and higher desire to help. We’re less about drive by advice and more about sticking with members issues until they get the help they’re after.
Not sure what to do with this, but to me this is the major and unique plus of this forum as compared to FB groups.
