As plenty of others have said, i've definitely found forums like this much more reliable than an average FB group. Yes, there are good communities out there, but they are extremely hard to find and since they can be made by anyone with basic knowledge of the site, often have people running them who don't know much about the thing the group is based on. Honestly i'e been through plenty of forums for aquatics in the past, and though this is my first herping one, I can say that i've figured out that the older the active forum, the better, cause they are obviously doing something right.
