Think most people are on the RWB Army Facebook group to be fair. Just the way of the world, forums are very early 2000s!

Indeed, its quite remarkable that our forum is as well used as it is - compare it to other clubs areas that have died off.

Groups on social media took over, but now the kids are moving to platforms like Discord.

Exactly, having grown up through the technology boom things like forums aren’t popular and haven’t been for many a year.

That said I do prefer posting on forums as you can articulate your points better, they can be better policed and managed and you’re not limited to short messaging. Suppose that’s quite old fashioned thinking these days.

Groups are full of unregulated and poorly managed posts/conversations. It may be convenient but almost anything goes and anyone can almost say anything.

I agree. I use social media a lot but for a proper discussion the forum works better for me.

Don't use SM at all (other than Whatsapp) so this is my only place to post my diatribe (along with a couple of car forums) :D :D

I missed the old days of forums before Social media colonised them. You could do a simple google search and find a wealth of information from publicly available Forums, now most stuff is hidden in private facebook/reddit groups unreachable by search engines. SM is just too fasted paced for reasoned discussions too many angry outbursts and easy for uber Trolls to ply their skills.

I do find the two main RL forums generally more mature than FB in particular. The uncontrolled Yob and Troll element input spoils FB IMHO.

For all you guys saying you don't use social media, are you aware that internet forums do come under the banner of social media?
