I like the old school forum layout. Very familiar to me. I used to have a Facebook, but never was very active. I mostly used it to keep track of my close friends as we all spread throughout the country/world after high school/college.
There's an element of anonymity here that I enjoy. I use an alias, no one here knows my real name except those with whom I've had fishy dealings. Imo Facebook, Instagram and the like seem to be mostly vanity based boasting platforms, where people seek adoration and attention for whatever reason. There's an element of that here, but I've seen that most know-it-alls and braggarts become bored with our detail-oriented and analytical approach to fishy business and subsequently don't stick around long. For dedicated members of the mfk community, just the fact that you join this site and log in everyday, follow the rules, and stay abreast of all the activity across the boards entails a level of sincerity to the hobby that your average Facebook fish enthusiasts lack, and more often just like to click the like button when they see a pretty fish. Here we want to know what you're feeding that fish, water parameters, tankmates, filtration setup and of course....HOW BIG IS THAT TANK!?!?!?
