I've never understood why UKCrossfires club seem so reluctant to encourage its use - historical differences of opinion, perhaps...? - but even if that's the case, surely it's time to move on?
This defection to FB seems to be dividing the UK community - even to the extent of excluding some - such a shame... 
Why do you think that UK Crossfires Club would discourage its use! Quite the opposite, this was, and still should still be a great forum. The early UK owners met in here in 2007, and through the friendships made here I instigated this UK section of this forum way back then. A few of us oldies are still about (Chris, Ken, Jon) and all still look in here regularly. This forum is always recommended as "the source of techy info" and it would be a shame to ever loose it. In fact many of us have donated financially towards the up keep of this forum in previous years. As said, many folks have migrated to Facebook which is better for instant conversation with pictures etc. and many folks access Facebook via phones and tablets. As the values of XFs has dropped so has the age of the average owner with a lot of younger owners who prefer mediums like Facebook and Twitter to chat. It has been noticeable that some new owners have come in here and after getting a rough ride in here have never come back. So a number of factors here. On behalf of the UK Crossfires Club, long live the Crossfire Forum!
