Hi Doug,

Maybe I'm wrong about this and in that case I apologize, but my only 
concern is that the forum doesn't seem to be too active.
I don't even know how many people are still using it. I personally check 
what's going on there from time to time, but nothing more really.
I'm only scared that the 2::week=>FB disappears before it even starts. 
The 12th of November there will be the second appointment on the FB 
group, it's still a fresh thing and people are only now getting 
involved. I have to admit I'm a bit skeptical about moving it to the 
forum, at least now. But that said, I personally find the forum a better 
place to do this kind of things. I'm not a Facebook fan at all! But the 
reality is, more people use FB nowadays and it's not always easy to 
bring them elsewhere. I'm with you, the forum is way more appropriate, 
but if that means killing the thing... I don't really know if it's worth 
doing this.
But that's just my point of view. I'm more than happy to discuss this, 
on the FB group as well. I mean, if we see more people asking the same, 
so let's move it :)

cheers,
Mario
