Face book attracts all sorts of people and some of them very opinionated , maybe in there own way harmless but others may take it offensive or serious.
I, personally don’t contribute or get involved.
This site contains most information that owners may need and has the feature of PM to contact someone privately or post for all that is more private than FB.
Either site help keep these bikes on the road,
But my personal view is not FB.

I much prefer the board. It's much easier to search for information and I feel it's presented in a more user friendly format than FB.
However, I am now active on FB. Many things I post on here I post on FB as well and I steal FB posts of interest and put them here (with credit). I have run this by the FB admin Don Sims and he's quite happy with the cross pollination.
To me though, this board is my "primary" interest.
And yes Didge, astounding how incredibly variable the experience and knowledge level on FB is. Many completely misguided and some very knowledgeable. Unfortunately the immediacy of FB has won over most people. I watched the downhill slide of daily posts on this board and tied it to the development of FB. In the end our Admin and I decided better we work with FB than try and fight it.
Interestingly, we get new member requests on a regular basis. I've not checked the stats on that one but I'd say it hasn't changed. Maybe even increased.
As for undesirables coming here, don't worry. Plug the board on FB if there's a need. Plenty of people already link to threads and posts on here. The Admin and I will ensure we're all grown ups.

Was happy to cooperate with Wayne and link this site to the FB one. Happen to agree with the conclusions that this forum is a much better platform than FB. Wayne, the Admin, Jess, and others have made this a well organized, easy to find information site about the RE5.

I found this Forum via the Facebook page and I'm damn glad I did.
Facebook is good for a quick photo and suchlike but this Forum is where "the good stuff" happens.
I've learned loads here, from some really knowledgeable folk. Long may it last.

I agree with the assessments. This forum is a valuable asset to the RE5 community.
