In my latest issue of Practical Classics magazine (we get it on the shelves weeks after it comes out in the UK) columnist John Simister is bemoaning the demise of the online forum. Seen as a fountain of knowledge for enthusiasts of classic cars, the forums are seen to be dying off due to the instnt gratification and extended reach of social media, notably Facebook. The problem with Facebook is that there can be no threading of posts and that any post quickly becomes buried and out of view, usually never to be seen again.
Online forums are more permanent, discussions are threaded and expanded upon, and can be searched more readily.
I'll look up John's contact info through the magazine, maybe if enough of us e-mail him and/or the magazine itself, we can gain a little publicity and, thereby, an endorsement for the BCF. There is as yet no link to his article that I can find online.
