With a mailing list I can filter the messages into a folder and read when I have time. On Facebook, once something scrolls past it's gone.

Re: [h-cost] h-costume on facebook?
Really, Majordomo lists are superior except for not transferring images, which people discussing costuming often want to do. I'd assume maybe they can, if the moderator sets it up? People have more bandwidth now than they did 20+ years ago when I first joined.

Re: [h-cost] h-costume on facebook?
I don't think GBACG restricts their FB membership to local residents, but they do focus primarily on local events. If you want a regional FB group that includes some discussion of more general costuming issues, there is a huge number of them for different areas. Just look up your city, state, region, and you'll probably find such a group.

Re: [h-cost] h-costume on facebook?
I don't think many FB groups are invitation only or require a private request to a moderator to be added. But to post, you do have to join by clicking a "Join this group" button. That said, FB is generally not a venue where long, substantive discussions take place. Its tiny message boxes encourage people not to write anything longer than two lines. You can post a longer message--the box expands to some extent--but many people don't. The other thing about FB is that its basic setup, the culture the company has strongly encouraged, is for people to get torqued about how many people "like" what they say (and by extension themselves), which also does not encourage substantive discussion. Collecting likes is silly and juvenile, but it does appeal to something in human nature. There is no real substitute for Majordomo and Yahoo type groups.
