Spammers would indeed be something that would need to be managed on
Facebook. Daniel's suggestion to use [1]http://lutegroup.ning.com/ is
probably a better alternative as a forum - it would be much better to
go to a page where topics are logically set out and easy to navigate
rather than a bunch of email spam or an unordered list on Facebook.
Facebook would be a better place for listing things for sale however,
insofar as it would be more accessible to more people - I'd never heard
of the Ning page before Daniel mentioned it.

Subject: [LUTE] Re: Keeping the lutes for sale page/lute forum going
Dear Jay,
I think the problem with Facebook (and similar) is the usual one of
these social media led apps and, indeed, of a traditional webpage -
security. The advantage of email like the existing Lutelist is that
it's largely immune from such machinations. I really don't want to
see
ads etc scrolling down the page.....
regards
Martyn

Hi everyone,
First, thanks to Wayne for creating this forum and maintaining it
for
such a long time - chapeau.
It seems appropriate that we collectively try to find a new home
ground
for sharing information and listing our lutes for sale.
One simple and straight forward solution might be just to set up a
closed, invite only group on Facebook. It would allow us to kill
those
two birds with one stone (sharing information/listing lutes for
sale).
I am happy to set up the group and share a link for people to join
if
you're all interested? The only issue is getting a critical mass
of
people to join.
Another solution is to... try to find another solution like a more
traditional webpage forum. I don't have expertise in this area
however.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Jay
