Kinda OT: This could be big for message boards

Online forums have definitely been hit by FB groups being the platform of choice for topic driven engagement. If FB groups all go monthly sup, I could see a big surge for free online forum use. Those MSU FB fan groups are massive and there’s a bunch of them. Would be interesting to see if that ceased to exist what would happen here.

I will never have a FB account. Ever.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Don't plan on it either.

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

Knowing what I know about the quality of content on FB, I hope they go somewhere else

 

[ShrubDog]

Yall are not alone.

 

[Southern Law Dawg]

If I'm reading it right, it seems that it is optional on a group by group basis, which allows people to turn their FB group into a subscription business model. Unless the people who run the State groups are idiots who think their content is worth money, it shouldn't change anything here.

Never had one either.

Was on twitter for a month. Gigantic cesspool of faceless and nameless trolls. Dropped.

Nothing about Twatter or the book of face appeals to me.

Its scary/pathetic how quickly people get lured into that **** and put weight behind what they see on there.

I've got both but I pretty much only use both in my storm chasing duties. I'll send in pics and info to the NWS and our media affiliate via twitter and use FB to send out similar information.

I absolutely love Facebook. Look at this pic of me with my loving family enjoying a beautiful fall afternoon at the park...

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

I'll only join if it's a lifetime membership

I have one but my usage has become almost nil. Pretty much just to keep up with family and close friends.

Do you not listen to BSR? Forhims: only $5!**

 

[cowbell88]

Faceless and nameless trolls? And how is that different from SPS?

Who chats on Facebook after college?

Twitter is awesome as long as you don't mass follow people. My twitter is STRICTLY Mississippi State sports and I toss anyone talking politics of random ****. I love it though, I get every article written about MSU served up to me, real-time scores and info on games, and knowledge of every single recruit visiting because they all post every time they come to Starkville. Twitter is really what you make of it... (Facebook sucks!)

Agree with all of this. I love twitter. Just follow what you want to see.

Not sure if you noticed, but your husband is going a little bald.

Great family pic.

Hey, you don't happen to have your sister-in-law's number handy do you?

You are reading that right and I’m jumping to the conclusion that once profit gets introduced, it’s just a matter of time until it’s not free. May that be FB charging a “group traffic” rate similar to what DS pays or every group deciding they also need a “premium” group. Ultimately that function will cost the user something before long I assume.
