Is Facebook killing off the traditional forums?

Although, I never feel like posting in a Facebook group would necessarily get me the quality of answer or reply I could get on this forum or a similar enthusiast focused one, despite the fact the make up of people is probably very similar or nearly the same. You're also open to more unnecessary criticism and unstructured feedback too, so it seems.
I think Facebook demands a different level of input and output with one line replies and quotes, whereas in a forum you're more likely to feedback more useful findings and facts in a larger and properly structured post. Just IMHO from what I've gauged comparing the two :thinking:
For me personally, FB would never match the level of learning and information you can find/gain compared to something like this sorta gaff :drinking:

You're exactly right, the level on answers on Facebook are nothing compared to what I have received on this forum. Some people have laughed at some of the questions that I've asked on Facebook and I've had nothing but helpful answers on this forum even though I'm fairly new with many answers that still need answering.

i was waiting for someone to comment :doh: yeah what a low life that was but not my fault as the prat did say they fit the mk5 gti when I asked.
Got a K04 at a bargain and this time I went to see it first hand at the sellers home who upgraded to TTE so can't fault everyone. Got my R8 coils off there too where as here you get good deals sometimes and other times people say they'll be happy to keep the part for you for a couple of days and sell it off the next.

This is still the first place I check when I fire up the interweb..... :love:
The forums (especially this one) are still the place for knowledge/discussion on thier particluar subject. Many google searches on specific information (related to the Mk5 platform etc etc) still brings you back here due to that depth of knowledge.......you don't get that with Facebook. :angry015:
Personnally I find the Mk5 Facebook groups can be very childish but that's to be expected as the cars are now cheap and kids can afford to buy them now. True, if you're after a quick answer and can't be arsed (or don't know how to navigate a forum's library) then you're at the right place.
Most importantly (or more importantly) this forum, in particular, is about the people as much as the information. Some great peeps on here that I just don't find on Faceache, snapcrap, instash*t or twatter.
Ohh and I'm old and I'm stuck in my ways....ill be here (still pontificating) when the forum closes the doors and turn off lights.
:happy2:

Would it be an idea to look at updating the theme of the forum to a responsive/mobile friendly one?
