One reason I spend more time and effort on Facebook is because I can see lots of Poco and Poco-related posts, photos, shows, etc. IN ADDITION to everyone and everything else I'm interested -- all in one place. I've always felt this website is a good site but it is limited -- mostly -- to Poco and related material. On Facebook, I can catch up with all my interests quickly, without having to go from one website to another.
I think this fan forum should remain, but as I have discovered from years of friendship with other Poconuts, we have many other interests to share. I enjoy keeping in touch with them and sharing those other interests, which I don't think would be appropriate here, on a dedicated site.
There is quite the drama going on about Facebook and data breaches. From the get-go, I have not shared any personal data that could be hacked, other than my birthdate when I joined. I also do not do much internet shopping, nor do I do any internet banking. So there's just nothing for any data mining to find out about me from the internet. I'm amazed at all the people scrambling to delete personal info -- it should never have been there. And that's why I don't feel particularly vulnerable and still enjoy Facebook and all it offers in terms of social interaction and information about things I'm interested in.
I wish the few Poconuts on this site were on Facebook...but to each his/her own!
