[QUOTE="Synapze, post: 346863, member: 10818"] The biggest problem with so many of the FB forums is that you have to join FB to use them. LOL. I don't use FB so I had to create a fake profile just to respond to an invite. The forum I joined shut down a few days later. 😀 Plus, you have to be careful when using using the words, buy or sell... FB has their marketplace rules and will want their cut if they suspect anyone is making money. They actively scan for those words and others that indicate buying or selling activity... including PMs. Pages often just disappear overnight or get shut down by FB for whatever reason. Forums like this are great for data retention. I doubt you'll ever find a FB group that will last as long as this forum. This forum has been here longer than many of the folks who use it. 😂 [/QUOTE]
