My husband calls Facebook the "endlessly flushing toilet". You can ask a question, but if you want to follow up a week later, or even a day later, you probably won't be able to find it. And most of the time somebody is going to jump on with their unsolicited opinion that you are clearly doing it wrong. Hurling abuse is, of course, a general internet phenomenon, but it seems to be amplified on Facebook.
The nice thing about forums is that when you ask a question, it stays there under its topic and you can revisit it any time, and if you want to find info about topics already covered, you can run a search and find it without much hassle. My husband and I pay to host this forum, and if we get to a point where we no longer want to do this, I'll be passing it on to someone else who wants to continue it as it is. I don't want it sold to some third party or plastered with ads to make money. This content belongs to everyone who posts here, so this community needs to have a say in what happens to it.
