F*ck Facebook (PG13)

[Sharp shooter]

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.

Bingo

Ok, I see your point/s.

I do believe a lot of people post their content both on FB and on forums. That's what I do. I don't simply pile a bunch of pics onto FB and nowhere else and I see this with others as well (Scott you do this too I think).

Vic, I believe that when you post your watermarked pics on FB (or anybody does) somebody somewhere will at minimum do a fly by on your site. At that point, hopefully the site will carry itself resulting in another new member. I think your odds are best if you have even more pics here and info that people are interested in.

If FB and IG are truly killing forums why aren't they all gone?

I'm just offering another perspective and I hope you don't take this as an attack because I'm really trying to help (whether you want it or not).
