We’ve had a Facebook page for more than two years.
We even have a vanity URL:

https://www.facebook.com/subsurfacedivelog

Jan Schubert created this and thankfully he gave me admin rights before he went

All that said, we have a pathetic 163 “likes” which means “dead as a doornail” from
what I can tell.

I’d rather poke a needle in my eye than managing a phpBB.
The mountains of spam to the mailing list and to trac are bad enough.

I’ll think about a solution.
