Facebook is a nice place to chat with friends, but it's really nothing more than a fleeting conversation. Anything you post has to be looked at within about a month or so... after that, it's virtually impossible to search for anything. So, as long as you've got a short attention span, I suppose it's a great forum. But if you want to post things that folks will see for years and be able to look back upon when they face a similar problem or need information... well... I'd like to think this forum does a better job. And if you're looking for a "group where like-minded enthusiast / Nutts can post photos and videos of their exploits"... well, I can't think of a bigger or more world-wide 'group' than this one... and one can certainly post links to photos and videos. And as noted, there are already quite a few Facebook sites for MacGregors... and each new one just dilutes and fragments the community and the message.
Yes, agree with the above. This site is hugely valuable to each macgregor owner as I myself have learnt alot from the posts etc. The Facebook site is intended to be the light hearted side of owning a macgregor. Posting short holiday videos, tagging YouTube clip, photos etc. Hope to see you all on Facebook. Lance

I agree. Definitely a need for this forum. Facebook is a bit of fun.

I dunno... I kind of thought this place was not only a really great reference, but ALSO a lot of fun. Silly me.
