Those don't use Facebook are going to be passed up by what will be. Social media will be here for a while. It isn't all about your past, what about family and current friends? Great way to post pics for those folks to see. It isn't all about farmville/town or any of the other games either, contrary to what people may think. I use it to communicate daily with my sister and brother as well as my cousins. YOU have the choice of allowing old girlfriends back in to your lives on Facebook. It's not age limiting, friends/family as old as 70 are using it. And really, how much different is it than this forum? Lot's of updates on there from Factory Five with pictures that you may or may not be able to get from their website. I don't see anything really wrong with it. Of course, like anything, it can be misused.
Paul, maybe. I still think FFC will survive due to the amount of archived info there. The advertisements don't really bother me, necessary evil to continue running the site. Most all the forums are still currently free, which may change, and if that happens, then yes, mass exodus to FFR.
