Facebook does allow small groups that would not warrant their own forum to exist. A few specialty interests can be easily gathered into groups that otherwise don't have any information out there. There's a few animals that without a place to ask keepers and breeders of them directly the info does not exist on the internet and finding such people on a forum with a broader topic that also includes them may be impossible. Some do not expend effort to check forums but get alerts on facebook for groups they are watching. Unfortunately the design of it is so inferior to forums that searching for help is truly impossible rather than repeatedly asking questions that bury everything else. Occasionally people who hate repeat beginner questions start groups and think they can just provide a list of saved files they've put together from past posts or other sources. FB has no organizational system to the group files though and I did get banned from a group when commiserating with another new person over our inability to find something, being directed to read the files, and then only being punished when we still couldn't find it. Apparently there's a 3 strike rule for any negative comments about the admin's file system. :roll: I could find things easier and more complete with google than trying to figure out what titled file my question fell under because I wasn't allowed to ask about my specific setup/situation if it was considered too basic of question.
