Fading Away - Toyota Yaris Forums

fnkngrv · 05-14-2015, 06:42 PM

There are a TON and I mean TON of Yaris/Echo groups on FB. I am in many and even Admin the 1nz Enthusiasts Club on there for anything 1nz related. Then there is the Toyota based groups on there in which myself and James (Jerkratt) as well as Atroman have broken into removing a lot of disdain for the platform. The bulletin style forum has taken a huge hit. The easy of use of FB compared to lack of updating on forums (not only this one) has really hurt them. Not to mention FB just makes things more "instant". Back in the day IRC was the eave of the future until these bulletin style forums really bloomed. Tech continues to march forward. Just the nature of the beast.

There's no doubt about it. I agree that FB is a better platform for groups however, being a bit of a techy myself, I'd say that given the all-in-one appeal for the older folks (mom's & dad's lurking/posting), heavy advertising and the questions of NSA investment; FB is not quite as popular as it once was. Sure, they still have a ridiculous number of users, but I see a lot of rumblings about people not using it anymore, or completely deleting accounts (if they can stand to go through the purposely difficult process that is). I may be wrong, but I'm seeing movement into SnapChat a lot lately (another I'm not on lol).

As an Android user, Google+ is built-in. Am sad to see it didn't really catch on because I think it's leagues better than FB.
