I'm sorry
@satindoll, but I'd disagree with you on that. Given the way that I and many others use facebook, I'd be very surprised if there weren't many people who have followed links to discussions and decided to stick around.
For all the dislike and dumbasses, there are plenty who do use it as a way of finding out more information. I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with posting links from the forum on facebook and twitter as a way to encourage people to come here and join in, or even discuss on facebook. Just because there are dumbasses doesn't mean there aren't people benefitting. It's a pity we don't have any indication of the split.!
Surely we would be allowed to ask the question
"How many members found this site via viewing Facebook" which would give some kind of indication of the split
Don't assume that just because many of us use the forum for contribution, others wouldn't know where to start. As a bad quote from somewhere, it's surprising how many people think the internet IS facebook....
I've already made my views clear on whether people should have been aware that threads were/are being shared.
