Hire a Facebook integrator to take a few high profile and attention getting posts daily and make them appear on a TS Facebook page(with a lot of subscribers)
Clicking on the post will drive traffic back to the samba for the detailed article.

Link user IDs from FB as a possibility, and something to make photos easier to upload like a mobile app or similar.

Imo The Samba should be the user's first stop to post. Not Facebrag.

It seems like TS members are posting JUST to Facebrag because it is EASY and user friendly.
And on Facebrag you can subscribe to people's posts (photos). What if on TS you could do that? For photos? Use some Facebrag ideas. Be able to Tag other TS users to the photo?

Absolutely on the app to make uploading pics a doddle.

I fail to see why we would want people who rely on facebook for all there info to come here if they are not intelligent enough to search for a technical forum they probably shouldn't be trying to maintain a vintage automobile.

I kind of like that this place gets less traffic. Besides add revenue, I don't see the point.

What if it gets less & less traffic? Less and less posts?

Increasing Barndoor content is going onto FB.
Bad Camberg pics? Way more have been linked to FB.
3 linked to BC15 on here!

Im on about TS keeping existing users, & the post rate.
Maybe the stats tell a healthy story.

Personally I find "Samba Facebook" is "Samba Lite"...it provides light relief rather than solid, expert interaction which you get in the forums. If I wanted, "nice pic dude" I'd post to FB for serious information and discussion it has to be the forum.
