Just waiting for Facebook to die so we can get back to business...

^^^ IMO things have slowed down here , Fbook has a lot more traffic , there are a few major traders that weren't hanging around here , a lot of "garage finds "
I'm still checkin in all the time
When I sell stuff I list it here First ,,, there later

We should start directing everyone back here.

"Did you try AO?" heh? Sounds convincing enough.

Screw Fartbook.

No...they try to suppress areas that they disagree with. People often run tests to see just how many of their subscribers actually get the feed...there is evidence that the subjects that are not PC friendly are not going thru like they should.

I'd love to see the evidence and the methodology. Reduction in page subscribers seeing posts in their feed is a function of two things; subscriber engagement (how often page followers interact with the page and it's posts), and Facebook attempting to push pages into paying to boost posts. It happens to all pages irrespective of politics. This is why even popular pages often resort to posting feel good memes and platitudinous truisms. People just engage more with funny vines and cat pictures than they do with things which are not PC (which by definition are offensive to (some) peoples sensibilities).

This is also a bit of conspiracy thinking. At any given time their are at least 700 coders working on Facebook's algorithms. Bug hunting, etc. In order to fix/improve something you need to know what it does. Asking 3 people to keep a secret is 2 too many. Now 700+ with a very high turnover rate? That's thousands of people, many of whom have been fired, many of whom have different political views. Nobody is blowing a whistle? Nobody is suing?

I have no doubt that Zuckerberg is a globalist and at least a socialist if not a communist (although I don't see him giving us equal shares of his wealth). I just don't think this theory is particularly feasible.

This format works much better for this application.

FB isn't the only problem. The economy plays into the slowdown as well. Ever since the housing market took a dump the paintball market has been in a slow downward slide. There has been some recent indicators that I have noticed that points towards prices starting to come back...

i'm on here, fb, and mcb and fb seems to be the most active but I regularly check our member count and it seems to be a slow steady gain here.

It does seem slower here, and I hadn't really thought about why. I'm not on facebook, because it feels wrong to put so much information out there... I guess I'll Just keep checking in here with the other social media dinosaurs...
