Do we want major discussion topics on facebook?
SteveP what would you rather.
If it doesn't work out we can change it.
At the moment its just hellos and a few pictures and links.

to have discussions on the FB group you will loose traffic from this site....
I tend to use our facebook page as a way of promoting the site with news which contains links to the forum, that way your showing people whats happening and where they can find the information...
to set up a group and have discussions within that group you may as well close the forum and run the group only as your taking away good content and activity from this place and using the social platform...
not sure why its a locked group also? surely you'd want to promote the site openly rather than in secret to gain new members...

I can quote too but it still doesn't answer anything I raised?
Boothy:
Its a valid point which is why I raised it initially anf left the decision with the mods. The site was initially restricted until we had time to research the privacy settings etc and can be changed if need be.
As for taking content away from the forum then its a definate pos
sibilty and potentially one that can be solved by each member. If they begin using it like the forum then maybe it should be stopped, I dunno? The idea behind the site was so that people could see other members face to face and know a little about them.
Ultimately the decision is for the mods to make and the group can always be changed to page if need be. Myself and h4rdy just set this up to help out, with the blessing of the mods not to ruin what is an awsome forum.
Mods —-what's your opinion? Maybe put it to a vote?
Boothy:
Maybe the group can be changed to only allow posting by yhe admin staff. Then iy could just be used for say, events and photo albums with the details being emailled to myself or h4rdy in order for us to post it. That way it would restrict banter etc?

You could argue there is not point in having the page if you block it to that extent.
