What killed the forum? How can it be revived?

[WFO Speedracer]

The jetski brothers are only people I see doing new and interesting things. Be cool to see more builds like what they are doing on here. Or if someone was putting NOS and a turbo on wr500 or something else interesting/different.

Damn that is quite a change from what I am used to seeing on here, when I did something different it usually didn't go over that well, but in retrospect a lot of cool builds happened because I was willing to stick my neck out first , I regret nothing even if it didn't work and was a complete flop I learned what not to do and sometimes that is an important thing to know.

Facebook groups killed forum use, and they are everything I hated about forum dilution During my 10 years on Nasioc but....10x worse.

Facebook consolidated more power by adding marketplace and the such

Forums will come back once people divest from facebook

Taking things right up the tailpipe.

It's the internet. Everyone knows everything and has the best everything. And knew it all before you.

Everyone can get punched in the face one day. Facebook makes is alot easier to identify those guys

Never looked at a facebook group. I imagine there must be thousands of people asking "What jets do I use".

More along the lines of what popoff, and where do I set my factory adjusters.

Over and over and over and over again

There is no greater collection of stupid questions asked and even stupider answers given than you will see on Facebook.

This sums up Facebook pretty well IMO.

Every day on Facebook I see the sane thing, someone posts up (I am wanting to do this, has anybody done it)
the answer is always a link to here or PWCT where you can find a detailed thread showing exactly how it is done , so what is the purpose of all the pages on Facebook, to direct you somewhere else where you should have been looking in the first place ?

It seems like people get too old for skis before they are able to say "Oops I was wrong" about anything..
