If we could understand better why people prefer other formats maybe we could prevent this one going the same way as Anita's fish forum.

I don't know the answer but I can have a stab at the question. What is it about facebook groups that most people prefer? If we had the answer to that maybe we could change this format to satisfy most people without losing the qualities that we all value.
The ease of posting photos maybe?
Because its mobile phone friendly?
Because its self generating? It sends notifications, prompting a response?
& people get into the habit of checking/ or rather cant miss, when they look at their phone for maybe another reason theres the facebook notification?
