The facebook generation seem to be taking over the world... and many forums are much quieter these days as a result (both car related and not).
People see quick and easy access to a huge audience, rapid responses, access natively integrated into mobile devices etc as the big benefits. I can understand that, but they don't realise the vast library of historic information on forums (until they have a problem and start googling).
The shame is that many find the answer to their problem, don't contribute to the forum and then go back to facebook again. Without the forum users contributing, valuable online information resources will dry up over the years.... but that's just the way it is. Maybe the forums should reinvent themselves... we pay hosting costs to run a forum yet running a page on facebook is free.
Hey ho. Oh yeah..... and
