I see a mix of good and bad information on facebook. Also, a lot of partial information. I would rather someone new to snowmobiling come here to get good information and stay in the sport rather than get some bad information on facebook, have a bad experience with a repair or mod, and leave the sport.

Could not agree with you more strongly.

Facebook, Instagram, ect all have their place and serve a purpose.
But when it comes to a SERIOUS TOPICAL DISCUSSION, nothing out there beats THIS format.

Most of the time that’s true.

However, more often lately Snowest posts contain political references/posts/crap from members.

I would prefer a “no politics” rule for all posts. I come here for fun and information, not politics.

You can keep politics out of things until you reach the point at which they are directly impacting the thing you are discussing. Which is almost everything these days.

People still use facebook? I deleted mine in 2010.
The TINY little SW Facebook page reached 1.4 million people last time I checked.
So ya, people still use it.

But it ain't NOTHING like it used to be.
I hardly see any actual people posting content anymore.
Its all GROUP POSTS or just flat out commercials.

Only reasons I still have Facebook are for snowmobile, dirt bike, and atv groups and marketplace. Like Christopher said, very little content from the "friends" anymore.
