The thing with forums is..

Its not a group, its a 4w Page. A page is basically just there for you to promote your website, busines, and many other things. I group is totally different on Facebook. You have admins and everything on them, they are pretty addicting, I never thought I would ever get used to them, but I did very quickly. 4w probably could gain more members with a group

The thing is the group wouldnt be there to promote the forum, the forum basically would be there to compliment the group. I don't know how it would all work. But I do think it would be cool.

Go on facebook, find a group, and join it. You'll see a difference! On a page only the person running the page can post stuff. In a group anyone can post stuff. It's pretty fun, I get into some pretty good conversations in my few groups.

Well you tend to not mind your news feed getting filled with posts from the groups after a while. Well if they are groups that you are in that are about your hobby. Plus a 4w group wouldn't be hard to get used to because we would all know each other. Then people add people, those people add people, etc.

^ this.

We aren't just small, we are borderline grave yard around here. It'd be a way to make the  4W name bigger. I'd say don't diss something until you try it out.

Just an idea, we dont have to do anything.

Just caught (maybe noticed again)  your handle Chux, "Better Than Essa" , you big jerk. But your comments do ring true. Only thing I would add is we are all older, some have kids, married, whatever. Not lots of time to comment.

I like 4w as a place to catch up with a group of people I know. I don't think it'll be better if it gets bigger. I use the Observer boards, possibly the most active board of relatively smart fans, and it's not actually that great. Since we're never going to be able to compete with that, we should probably just stick to what we're good at; Reminiscing about how great 2004 was.

Browsing on phones does suck though, posting is even worse. Keyboards weren't meant for tiny touchscreens.

That's the problem. People just come here to just talk about old times and skip over the topics and don't post any themselves. I'm sure a lot of people who return still watch wrestling, a comment here or there on some of the threads would be cool.

Like in the group chat on facebook for Raw. And we still are talking through out the day in it. And it's usually about wrestling. Reamer, BPN, and John Hartigan are all in there talking. I wish they could take five minutes to surf the boards and make a comment or two. I get on these streaks where I get really motivated to get this place active again, then lose the motivation due to inactivity. I really only care so much is because I try joining other forums and I just done like them that big and crowded with members. But I also don't like a ghost town.

Also I'm off the group idea. We will just continue to try and use the 4w facebook fan page to try and draw in posters. Which is frustrating because no one new has come. I'm assuming it's due to lack of content. Which would explain my plethra of posts the few days. To give people something to reply to.

I'm not really making it a huge deal, and I agree I like the boards to be a small community. But a community of over at least 20 or so that are active on a regular basis. Idk, I like having new posts to read when I log on. Not a ghost town 😋. I don't think anyone would be opposed to more activity :-)

I'm thinking it'll be a slow process but every once in a while the Facebook fan page will draw in a member or two. Also I plan on tweeting during Raw and PPVs. I'll have to read up on how Twitter works and how to , make my tweets effective.

I've read up on Facebook page building lately and found some useful tips. I never knew I could tag other pages in my posts on there.
