Facebook has too many misinformed trolls and I myself have NEVER taken part in and Facebook forums. They are just baiting us to respond and then skew our answers to make their FAKE NEWS POINTS.

Many buddies are serious Parker and Fox collectors that never post on the collector forums or FB. The feedback I get is they just want to stay below the radar and don't feel they have anything to contribute, which I don't understand. Some feel intimidated, just human nature in my opinion, it is what it is. FB groups are free and don't require a paid membership which appeals to a different audience. I just try to be welcoming and non judgemental as do the vast majority of Parker/Fox forum users/posters. Some people just want to complain/bitch because that is their nature. I'm just one of those that loves to share my guns and hunting adventures with other like minded folks, many of which I will never meet in person.

I visit the FB Parker Collectors page and see a LOT of uneducated misinformation. I will make polite corrections to those posts that just incorrect. People have thanked me for my contributions and I will often post the www.parkerguns.org site and suggest they join.

Ease. A couple clicks and bobs your uncle you have a post made and can get right back to scrolling Tik tok. If you only expect to have one question or maybe limited follow ups, why register here when the FB group is guaranteed to provide an answer on a platform you are already registered with? Plus if you look hard enough you can get the answer you wanted to hear from someone, as Dean pointed out, who knows not what they say.

Facebook is free. And easy to ask dumb questions on and easier to get dumb answers.
It may get more activity, but it isnt quality activity. 9 times out of 10 it is just someone wanting to hock some POS.

Obviously someone posting or saying there are just a bunch of snobby, rude, arrogant old guys on the PGCA website is just gaslighting. I would say that most of the folks using FB for gun talk are low information enthusiasts. Two things make us the better choice: 1) extremely knowledgeable people are sharing legit information and 2) the people using this resource are expected to and do behave in a gentlemenly manner. Those FB forums get very tiresome quickly to someone just wants to seek or give legit knowledge. The best solution is what Dean is doing - politely suggest they check us out. The good ones will. We don’t want the rest. If that sounds snobby, rude, or arrogant I don’t care. And don’t forget this site is FREE to use as well. You only pay if you want to be a member and get all the perks.

I think part of the answer is Facebook overall is easier to use with a phone and simple to add pictures and videos to a post. Facebook is also not as narrow, people belong to multiple groups and see what their friends are posting in one place.
As far as the reputation of the PGCA on Facebook, it could be there is more focus on the higher grade, unique and originality here that comes across as snobbish but who knows. P.S. As far as rude, arrogant, snobby, old guys goes, they got the last part right
