Yes I agree, the more ways there are of being in contact the more diluted it becomes, and I expect the other forums are finding the same effect elsewhere. Personally I prefer this type of environment, and I hope it can be revitalised. I also agree about the confusion it causes for folks searching for information and organisations and they are not sure who is who etc. With the UK Crossfires Club the main anchor is the website and we also had a Facebook page for the last 2 or 3 years which was very little used. But then this year the members told us they wanted a Club Facebook public group site to chat in and share photos etc., and this old forum didn't seem to meet that need. The Clubs Facebook group site is an "open group" to anyone who wishes to join and post, and anyone is welcome to join it. So that's "progress" for you lol
