Post the linkWe need to get the Ram Rebel Facebook going. I like the page for the Ram Eco diesel and they have 50 plus post a day. It would make it easier for us to post pictures and not have 30 plus pages to look through.

Amen! Modern social media is step one towards the movie IdiocracyI agree with all the points on why not to use Facebook, but I have another point, as well. I use my full real name in fb, but I only share stuff with direct friends and family. I do this for various security reasons. Fb collects data based on the things you "like" and participate in, and based on the actual texts of your comments. Fb then sells that data to other companies. They also sell it as a service by tuning advertisements to you. So if someone posts a funny link to a condom site and you "like" it you've increased the odds that your advertising is going to include condoms down the road.
And all that gets crosslinked elsewhere in fb. Remember a year or so back when they started sharing "likes" as endorsements with friends? So if you "liked" something, your friends would get notices that you were endorsing a product... Granted, fb stopped doing that after a lot of outcry. But you have very clear evidence that fb will make decisions which might be harmful to you and only reverse them with huge public outcry.
And finally, I choose not to have my real, full name associated with products. Unless I'm accepting compensation to endorse them. They want my money for their products, they can also pay me to endorse them.
Actually, you're not quite right about this. Once you login to this forum, click on New Posts. It pops up a list of all posts since the last time you logged in. It sorts them by most recent. It shows the thread name, but if you click on it, it takes you to the entry in the thread you haven't read yet. So if there are 8 pages to a thread and you've seen the first 5, it will take you to page 6. If you've been out of forum for a month, it still works that way.It's not very user friendly without an app that sends notifications like Facebook. You can click directly on the page on Facebook and only see that page. Id rather just be logged into Facebook and be able to see the 3 plus pages about Ram instead of having to log on here every time to see one. I'm not saying that the Facebook page take over this forum. It would just be nice for people to post at least pics of their builds on there. The Facebook is just nicer because you see all the new post and on the forum you see all the old post first. It will not be long and you will have to read 100 pages to find anything out on this forum on one post.

Couldn't agree more. Facebook is great for showing off that lasts 5 mintues or whatever... but its terrible for finding any information. The ability to search the history of my activity log is great, but it never works. It finds what I'm looking for about 1% of the time. The forums on the other hand can find info that is 10 years old.As a forum owner I couldn't disagree more.
Facebook is killing forums.
The structure of a forum is such that specific areas can be created to keep posts uniform and legible, Facebook posts slide down the screen and lose the momentum

Okay aw023, you marked that you disagree with my post. That post was just documenting how the forum software works, which is opposite of what you claimed. So what part do you disagree with? I reviewed it and I'm pretty sure my explanation is accurate.Actually, you're not quite right about this. Once you login to this forum, click on New Posts.

Seriously, though, that's not a facebook page at all. It's the only other Rebel forum I know about. Neither is associated with fb. They do allow you to use your fb account to authenticate and then probably share some data with fb. They can't do that if you login with a non-fb id.
