This threads reminded me I need to resub, will get to it end of the month!
Anyway, I would consider myself sort of on the young side of the age scale with being 28. I am am member of here and also various zed related Facebook groups and the main differences I find is that the Facebook format is much more user friendly when browsing a page, threads are instantly available with pictures as soon as you reach the page and the marketplace is much more used due to the no listing or subscription fees attached.
I browse this place often, but my post count is pretty low, reasons being for this I'm not very technically accomplished so can't really offer any advice or help on threads. There is no way to fix this really, I'm the same on Facebook, some people just browse and that'll always be the way.
Personally to improve this place I'd get rid of the "What did you do to your zed" thread again as it's just too long to browse and keep up with. Make new threads for this stuff, will make site searching much easier too. Is there any sort of format change that could happen? Or is a forum basically always this layout?
The main advantage this place has over Facebook is the tech help and specialists who hang out here, great community too, even the drama is great. Facebook is simply more convenient and easy to browse, way more drama too (not good in this case).
