to fb or not to fb... that is the ?

MG
From what I have seen so far here, the Audiogon crowd is definitely more insular than your average Farcebook mob.

I gave up on Farcebook years ago, even being a mod in a speciality closed group did not seem to end the idiocy on display from people whose egos were far greater than anybodys I have seen here on the Gon.
Good luck out there MG, its a cruel world!

I will join. Thanks.

@andera   I have joined.  To get more traction on the group I feel you need more discussions. The more people interact with a group the more that group's posts appear in member's newsfeeds and alerts. Take a look at 'the audio cognoscenti group' a Uk-based audio group that sprang out of the very successful and well-moderated 'audiophiles uk - hifi and music'.  That former group, although new, is active and growing.
good luck!

  I was determined not to join FB, but when my son got married 10 years ago, they put their wedding pictures on FB, and if you wanted to order any you had to join, which irritated me but if you can’t beat them...I was immediately contacted by several friends that I hadn’t heard from in a couple of decades.  Since I have moved far from where I grew up, this was kind of fun.  I mainly post pictures of my grandkids.
   My wife refuses to have an account but looks at mine.  She is a Nurse and recently there was a Nursing Strike and the 2200 Nurses where they work organized and communicated through a FB group, which she made me join.  Since their employer refused their Union any on site access, the FB group was invaluable for communication and coordination.  I had never belonged to any fb group or forum before.  I won’t be joining the OP forum either, because I while away to much time on this site already.
