Forum is slow

[banpei]

I have the same issue: I hardly use FB as the groups are shallow and you see 10 times the same question or sales post posted every time you open it. At the same time it fulfills what the majority of things that used to be posted here in the past: photos/videos. As long as FB doesn't have a threaded view of things it's not going to endanger forums yet, but once they actually mange to add Reddit-like functionality into FB it would probably kill most forums.
Even if that would happen, the forums and site will stay alive for as long as possible: it really is a collection of knowledge that I need regularly. I try to keep things alive here, check on a daily basis and thanks for bringing this up and caring!

On a slightly related note: the biggest issue I have with FB is that I basically have three groups of people that are my friends/circles: car people (you bunch I guess ), family and colleagues. They simply don't mix: you don't want to see stuff that I like/post with my family and I guess my family or colleagues don't wish to see crazy car stuff. It happened to me on a few occasions that I got strange questions about my bizarre taste for Zokusha. For a while I managed to separate that by creating and posting under a banpei group account where I could switch identities between my personal and car-related account. However a few years ago FB made it impossible to do that anymore as they are convinced you shouldn't hide behind a virtual personality. So now you have to go through all sorts of hoops to make it work. So I stopped posting stuff on FB and I just simply read occasionally.
