Well with all the facebook groups and such forums have gotten quiet. Well as of a few days ago, facebook has started to crack down on classifieds group and freezing them because of live animal sales, people are going to have to find new places.

I hope that bodes well for this & other good forums. I pay ZERO attention to FB, so I'll take your word for it.

I have heard many complain about the excessive drama on FB though...let's hope they leave that where they found it.

Yea, all the groups that sell animals are getting frozen. I only know because one of the venomous groups I used randomly vanished.

I hope so. Forums like TBC need to come back.

Yeah I just learned today actually that Facebook frowns upon all the selling I did not know that.

They always have. They've just been a lot more forceful about enforcing it in the last week.

You can still advertise and sell on your own business page, just not in a group.

Yeah they've locked at least 15 groups that I know of.

Some Facebook groups are horrible, and censor anyone with a differing opinion. The tortoise forum Facebook group is so bad that some people have made fun of it on actual tortoise forum.

Recently? One member got banned from a group for saying cypress mulch wasn’t toxic.

Here’s one thread about them in general-

I’m fine with that personally. Facebook is a decent marketing platform, but the animal sales on there are crazy, with people auctioning off animals like grandmas bedroom set. Lol

And the animal “groups” are often run by douchereybaggers.

I hope it helps this forum! As I have never had a Facebook account, and that’s rare for a 33 year old
