I hate facebook and will not join it. What I love about forum format, is its topic specific for the most part, and people into the topic participate for the most part. My wife is into face book and complains about all the much to do about nothing. I visit and post on 8 or more forums because if I want to talk outdoors for a while this is the place. Local fishing another forum. BBq smoking country boy stuff a couple. Gardening again. What I need or want to talk about at the time. Do not give up on this forum. Jason can tell ya, folks leave, and find out they were wrong, and come back. I know of a certain BBQ forum, that went from only the owners weekly pass by to the busiest one I frequent. This is an outdoors forum full of outdoors lovers, I know I have unpluged and went to work in a no cell phone no internet zone for months at a time and it was still here when I got back. [/QUOTE
Facebook is all what you make of it. I use it to reconnect with old military friends. It's not something to post your issues on. Something that a lot of people do. Cappy hit the nail on the head. Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and pretty much any other social site are all the same, to include forums. Anyone who posts anything on the internet is compromising their privacy. Don't post what you don't want used against you later. It's all a gamble!
