Like Peter, I think Facebook is a snare and a delusion. TarBoard as it stands is great.

"... the little touches (the telephone dial label, the fire fighters' notice, the Potter Heigham weighing machine ticket) do make a great difference. So does the 'latest messages' feature. We're used to the Rolls Royce of forums here... It would be pretty grotty to settle for less.

I heartily concur.

Other forums (fora?) use a different threaded system that works very well too though, using vBulletin. (Have a look at the WoodenBoat Forum for instance.) Goodness knows what it costs or how to set it up though.
