I have now seen several forums convert from the old VB format and as result loose a number of members. Sad to see these admins put all this work into upgrading the forums, only to get negative results .

As for Facebok, sadly it is wining the batter for the next communication media. It is simply much easier to go to one place and get updates from most of your “clubs” and groups. Like it or not, most activity is migrating in that direction (until “the new best thing” will come around). So if you have resisted FB thus far, you might reconsider because aside on missing out on “friends” family vacations, you will also be missing out on your car club activity. And if you think that this forum has bad search features, you will really dislike FB search feature . Yet, it is continuing to expand and take over!
