Is Facebook killing off the traditional forums?

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.

you're not the only one as I've been doing that ever since joining this forum just look at my post count :signLOL:
Facebook is definitely full of immature people that's for sure and the childishness will always be there although you won't see it as much here because it's a more slow paced send and question and reply etc and as for the young guns lol it's just pathetic with we want our own groups and crap like that. Snapcrap and twatter :signLOL:

i'm a moderator on a aimed at the ford fiesta since thats what my last 2 cars were.. we've gone from last year having one the the biggest club stands at the big event of the year "ford Fair" to this year i dont think we even bothered. maybe 1 or 2 posts a day on the forum.. its been literally destroyed by the facebook groups specially since the audience for that car are all usually 17-21 who are most proficient with facebook

The laziness of people really p*ss me off on the Facebook groups now. No one wants to research things or find out for themselves. The same questions get asked over and over again, when they could be answered within a minute after a little search.
'Are my plates illegal'
'What oil should I use'
'What are the best bulbs to use'
'What coilovers should I get'
Etc etc...
F***ck off. That's all my Facebook feed is full of. I'll stop moaning now.

Not for me, I go on the FB group pages but and I say this with caution there are too many cars and people that are not to my taste. I see less genuine car enthusiasts and more daft questions and badly modified examples.
I enjoy the forum and will continue to use it.

I also use FB but have realised even the mature people can be daft as bleep and there's been so much crap going on with FB since I joined and will always prefer Mk5golfgtiforum by far :love:
