Would you be interested if I started a Facebook group for for us if/when this forum goes down?

Thank you very much.
Checking out Reddit now and all the different art groups there are and what they are like.

Artist Lounge on Reddit...

Would love to have the upshot of all this sent to us all clearly. Sad to see CS go. Hope to have a viable alternative on hand.

 

[PaintBoss]

Yes, still trying to decide which direction to take. Will let you all know.

 

[Sanlynn]

I’d give it a go.

I don’t have a FB account and have no desire to create one. But I very much appreciate your invitation and wish you well.

I’m not familiar with the FB group idea. Are they like this forum?

 

[PaintBoss]

No, not a traditional set up like this forum. The Facebook groups just have a photo with a description that’s posted. With other posts underneath it as you scroll down. It’s more visual, and the people can comment under it. But it’s not like dedicated threads in a specific area like on a forum. It’s just scrolling down seeing different people’s posts. That also means you don’t have categories.

Perhaps a WhatsApp group will appeal to more members than Facebook.

Actually they used to have "chats", which were like subgroups, but I'm not sure those will work as well. They make loading slower. Might have been a feature that's eliminated anyway. FB isn't the best sub here.

Yeah, I haven’t done any chats in the groups on Facebook
