So no chance of strengthening the forum and the discussion content, and minimising the social side?
In my experience if people discuss topics privately in groups, such as on facebook, a forum loses content and it's focus. So for example if I set up a Roman Cavalry Club on a facebook part of the site, then why post on the forum?
I appreciate I speak to my friends rather than write to them using facebook, so I probably don't understand such a medium. But I would regret the discussions on military equipment becoming less informed.
I've just had my first friends request, from someone living 2 miles away! They must be daft.
