FB is an easy to use form of social media. It lacks the benefits found on the forum that you mentioned, yet the FB groups allow social contact between people with the same interests. The .ORG site was heavily impacted by social media because that site relied heavily on social interactions. Granted, it had its fair share of SSP tech, but the posts towards its end were not technical in nature, for the most part. So activity there died off, and once the webmaster passed away there was no way to keep it running.
This site also has seen a reduction in activity. There is still a good amount of tech here. I keep updating the SSP VIN Project because I enjoy promoting the research while I am "in-between" ownership of an SSP. I would love to see more folks post up here. The format here is still conducive to being viable. We just need to hear from our members more often. With regular forum contact, we can collectively promote the hobby.
