    Similar here.
    I've had a FB account for several years now and have logged on perhaps a dozen times. I simply don't get the attraction of reading frivolous postings of people I barely know, and, as has been mentioned, pictures of their cats or dogs. I’m also surprised by the numbers of people that post pictures of children or family members. Mrs. schmenke went ballistic against her sister a while ago when she, innocently, posted pics of her two nieces (our kids).

    While we’re at it how about changing some of the long-running thread titles. Suggestions:
    “How Good Is Your Geographic” to “The Stump anfield5 Thread”
    “Never Ending Song Titles..” to “Google A Morrisey Song Title Thread”

    Whatever happened to?

    Facebook is very different from forums. I use facebook a lot but also post on roads, cycling forums etc. If there's anything distracting from forums it's reddit.

    The main thing for here is that we don't have sites linking to us like we did in the past it's just the forum having to make it's own way

    Fine by me. Can't say I was impressed with their handling of a kid getting cyber-bullied through a fake account set up in her name... that is until it made public news and social media. Live by the sword...

    The same goes for G+ and Twitter. I use FB only because it is a tool for me to keep in touch with family, friends and work mates back home in the UK.

    Back on topic...I have noticed that it is VERY quiet on this forum. Could not believe how limited the current threads are.

    Remember the days of all the bickering, that came with some very interesting topics.
