    New facebook? Both SD forums and the SD facebook group are vastly different. Facebook is def more popular, but its like everything else in my generation - quick and forgotten. Posts disappear quickly into the abyss and the same questions keep coming up.

    The forums are like a library of knowledge and research. I recommend using both to their fullest protentional.

    Hi dpt8, Brian and I try to run the SD group like Al wants the forum run. To moderate it properly would require all our time so we do the best we can. If you look at the announcements you will see parts of the forum linked like the disease questionnaire and Al's QT thread. We also encourage members there to become members of the forum and that does happen.

    Ok I’m not on Facebook but joined with my wife’s account. Whole different German Asian thread there. As Shan said it’s just typical Facebook. Funny though! No real material your not going to learn anything. But it is funny .

    You were approved. The new FB format sucks more than the old one, but you should be able to find "groups" that you are a member of, then just click on the link. Or, you can click on this one... https://www.facebook.com/groups/795034917244072

    I enjoy seeing professional discus breeders posting their latest discus strains on Simply Discus Facebook page......also some SD discus veterans sharing their knowledge and experiences there too...

    The Facebook group Discus Review has nothing to do with SimplyDiscus. The new SimplyDiscus facebook group is Simply Discus Forums or https://www.facebook.com/groups/439928097802712.

    The group is a bit slow because we got taken down by jealous rivals but we are gaining strength. We only try to promote the forum, which is the best resource in the world, Much better than FB could ever be!!!

    Wait, there was a SD Facebook? I swear, I miss EVERY memo

    ...and hold up, it was taken down because of "jealous rivals"? The only rivals I can think of are past SD members who always engaged in dick measuring... I mean discus measuring contests and lynched every new post'er even it were Dr. Axelrod himself. (Or would create a new account with alias to antagonize folks if they didn't conform EXACTLY to the Discus Bible day #1 without ever making a mistake).

    Stay with this forum... lots of lessons learned here and still plenty of damn good folks who'll offer great advice and won't chastise you (unless you're "asking for it"... just be humble and not a know it all). I'm guilty of checking in and seeing if any new posts have pics (because of being a pic phene) then clicking out ... but I deep dive into old topics several times a year and no competitor has as much (even when some of those threads involve those former antagonists who couldn't step back and remember, "For Christ's sake, it's a FISH forum"
