Message Board Activity Moving to Facebook????

[vintageracer]

I have been asked to join MANY Facebook groups that are repeats of the message boards I frequent. In each case the activity on the original message board "appears" to be getting smaller and the activity on the Facebook clones appears to be increasing.

I'm NOT a Facebook guy because of all the other BS that goes along with FB so I think I am out on the FB message board clones as visiting one place for the same activity is enough. Kinda like you are either a Pro-Touring.com guy or a Lateral-G.net guy.

Is this a new changing trend in the internet world?

Opinions?

I prefer the boards. Face book is for people to post a picture of their dinner, or say "worst day ever" with no further explanation and expect you to stay up all night wondering what the issue is.

I don't remember actively joining either the pro touring, or lat-g group Facebook pages, but I think someone added me to them. It seems like the same five people post to both of them and account for 90 percent of the activity on the two pages.

I am not a big fan of FaceBook. That said, I look at the Pro-Touring.com and Lateral-G.net FB pages as more of an advertisement for the forums. I did not find any PT.com or Lat-G.net FB groups.

I'm wondering if were not all around the same age (or close) I'm 63, don't do the Facebook or Instagram. My kids do though.

I did not say there was a Facebook group for PT or Lat G just that there are many Facebook groups starting with the same focus as many website forums I visit. I question as to whether people "may" be moving to those groups as I see lot's less activity on some of the website forums I frequent where people have started Facebook groups with the same focus and I have received numerous invitations to join.



Again my original question:

Is this a new changing trend in the internet world?

Facebook is about sending a message to your friends or updating a status. It is useless for looking up tech content posted six months ago. You will find me here...
