When It comes to "High Performance boating" sites one would think the content should be about, regarding or pertaining to High Performance boats and or places where they exist.

Social media is a great tool for promoting anything. It get's the word out and provides a place for showing off afterword. How can that be bad...?

I have to respectfully disagree with your view on this Vic. I agree traffic will bring advertisers but, without very much content what do you have to draw people in?
Jerry, I believe the point Vic is making is that when rhe majority of content is posted on FB, there is no need to come onto a forum. If people don't come on the forum (drive site traffic), the advertisers won't pay to advertise. If there are no advertising dollars, then HB isn't able to sponsor races or events.

In short, when people choose to post their content on FB, the resulting ad dollars / revenue is not reinvested in sponsorship of boating events.
