Edd alleged I couldn't provide stats, I provided stats. As I say, they mean nothing.

Your signature and its usage sums up the attitude of this thread perfectly. Mocking. Belittling. Elitism.

Wow. Continue to condescend all you like, however I won't retaliate. Here's some stats 'that I don't have'. These are from the last 30 days. As I say, my original gripe was not about stats, numbers etc, but you keep on as if numbers are important. They're not. Make of these what you will, they...

Not bollocks at all, the forum format has been in decline for years. Forums still use html forms ffs! The rise of the mobile and tablet as a platform has done more to cause forums to decline than the more accessible social media platforms. Forums peaked in the mid 2000's, since then their...

It's something perhaps to remember that pages/groups like Echo et al are primarily selling pages.

Richard, great points. As I said again, I'm not speaking here on behalf of Echo and I'm not speaking on behalf on anyone else; admins or otherwise. You make some very valid points about both angles. One of the best points there is about discussions and quality of posts, something I know has been...

But no-one wants to teach anything, just sit here making threads mocking their wetness behind the ears. That's my whole point. Those new to this hobby would very likely welcome such advice - how do we think they find these groups, most of which are closed ones, in the first place. As it is, I...

These are the kinds of statements that also cause friction. This is the kind of almost elitist and assumptive attitude that causes thread like this in the first place, surely? Don't get me wrong, a huge percentage of that 10,000 (*sigh* let's use Echo again) are very new. But that very...

Does 'Today on Facebook' ever mention swfuk's own Facebook group? If Facebook groups really don't work the way many are saying here, why does swfuk have a group page? It's obvious - like it or not, forums are becoming an aged platform, whilst whether we like it or not, and God knows Facebook...

Thank you for the constructive post!

Again, this is not me defending Echo or speaking for Echo, this is me speaking personally about the way that maybe lesser knowledgable people are often scorned and belittled in threads like this one. Light hearted it may be, but can you see how it might rub people up the wrong way the first...

It's a shame to see my points have been *totally* missed and construed as trolling. This is absolutely not the case. Nor is this strictly about Echo, unfortunately, most comments in this entire thread seems to apply to Echo most of the time but obviously Facebook groups as a whole. My defence...

I appreciate it might feel like flogging a dead horse at times and that this stuff might well be easily found - but newer collectors seek out groups thinking that they might just get some of that help from within; that's part of their research maybe. It's not something I take personally at all...

What strikes me as ironic is that here is a dedicated thread to the 'joys' Facebook groups and there we are buying and selling on there too. I guess it's handy when you want it to be, the you can all run back here and slag it off and mock other enthusiastic, if maybe less knowledgable than the...

Sorry I didn't get on here sooner to leave feedback (as if it's even needed!),but I received my two MOCs and loosie this week and was just so pleased with them and the service from start to finish. Will definitely be buying more from you matey!

Just a bit of fun - drawing with some ink pens and getting some ideas for some future projects...this pen sketch isn't about accuracy as you can see, but more an exercise for me. star Wars cardback doodle by Dan Tearle, on Flickr

Hey Frank! I've not done a Power Droid yet but I do plan to. Next up is a Gamorrean Guard and also some Cantina patrons...
