For me FaceBook etc are for "disposable" content, it's designed to be a river of content, ie constantly flowing and changing. That's why it's so addictive.
Because of that it's not somewhere I would use to store details and specifics that people want to come back to and refer to and research etc. Even worse when they are small private groups as it doesn't come up in any searches unless you are in the group. EG I know I've seen the photos of the unrestored fabric saloon on FB but trying to search for them on FB is almost impossible, not helped when there are so many A7 groups already set up.
You also get the problem of who runs them, if that person goes away / losses interest / account gets hacked / stopped etc. then it can so easily all be lost.
For me the solution for specific details would be much better in some sort of WIKI format or as has been done with the GE Cup site Ruairidh did.
