Any idea how many have joined up as paying members to help fund the AHFCA and its efforts? Also, a suggestion to the Fox FB moderator: can you ask FB folks who get steered here to let us know in their first post that they originated from FB? Thank you.
We have a "sticky" pinned to the top of the FB group with a direct link to AHFCA membership form. Not sure how to quantify it, but I will ask any who sign here up to let us know in their first post.
Thank you Jason.

Jason: Thanks for making the effort to spread the AH Fox gospel with your Facebook page!! I joined the group and check it out every day. A little friendly competition and alternatives are good and it helps improve the experience for all collectors. Craig

Many guys post pics oftheir Foxguns and hunting successes on theFB page. It is so simple to post on FB,even carry on "discussions" and ask questions in almost real time,that is why,for the most part, FB has more activity than a website. Both have pluses and drawbacks. I manage multiple FB pages for other organizations. I would never want to manage another website than theone we (RMSC) have now!!

Research has shown that if you want to reach a younger crowd, we need the presence on multiple internet forums (Website for the older generation. FB,twitter,instagram, etc for the younger.) It is, what it is.

Agree with you Mike. There are lots of folks who aren't collectors but who are just heavy users of Foxes. They have found the Fox FB page and are jumping in with both feet and some new Foxes are showing up for us to look at. I hit both sites a lot. You are correct, the ability to upload photos directly off your hard drive or from your smart phone is a big selling point for this younger generation. They don't want to fool around with Photobucket or Picturetrail etc.

I am not a Facebook person, but I joined the FOX sight off my wife's Facebook page to see what was happening. Now every time there is a new picture posting my wife runs in with her IPAD to show me the new FOX photo. I'm with you Frank, I have not joined the 21st Century with Facebook, but I think we are behind the times. :lol: :lol:

I do not do Facebook and see no need for having it. Jim

Some REALLY NICE Fox guns have been posted this week. I was especially impressed with the Ryan Busse gun.

FaceBook requires exposure of your name and information that could be used to locate yourself.

Interesting. I know of more then one person who uses alias on FB just like they do on various other forums.
