Example of loss of information on Facebook
Tonight One of the FB pages I visit a new person was enquiring about how to scrape the green algae off her tank. Simple enough question but the answers given were about as confusing As it can get. One question 230 replies of which about 2/3rds were about the same answer but contradicting each other. One person said to use a metal scraper that you can buy at the LFS and within 30 minutes over 50 replies to the scraper answer was answered with use a razor blade, use a plastic scraper, use a putty knife and so on yet nobody actually gave her a good reason why they used so and so item over this item. Finally thread was shut down and she was still confused fortunately 2 fellow members who live close to her contacted her and gave her the required information about scrapers what to use and not use. It can happen on forums as well but they tend to be better moderated imo

I think the poll answers would look different if you posted it on Facebook or one of the other options you have in the poll.
I agree that good information gets buried on Facebook. I see that a lot - a simple question with 70+ replies, and 90% of them are either confusing or just atypical. |

Well, you're going to likely get Facebook bias there and forum bias here. With that said I am heavily biased towards forums

Wouldn't it be swell if a forum had all the features of Facebook, or Instagram.... or Tinder!
