Were they a huge driving force at one point but people's habits changed and the new habits didn't include their brick and mortar stores?

Sears use to sell entire house kits, shipped by your closest rail depot, you unloaded it and assembled it. Included plumbing, heating and electric. We still have some Sears houses in the area.

Don’t forget Sears used to sell farm equipment and guns thru their printed catalog.

Yup, I live in one!  Built in 1904.  Too bad their insulation standards weren't what they are today.  Burn wood!

Hooked up a furnace to a Sears kit house some years back, had the original oil boiler with the original B&G pump, been running all this time. Needed a few drops of oil yearly but that's pretty good..

Wow, it really pains me, 4 years ago this forum had a long list of questions and comments every morning during this time of the season, I could spend hours reading, learning and teaching, I’m thinking that it’s not JUST Facebook that’s affectected the activity but perhaps the members and or moderators who have driven the traffic away?

Yeah, we need some good positive content posted every day. I've been so busy I've kinda let the forums slide.

For those too dense to listen.


https://www.quora.com/Has-the-internet-forum-been-replaced-by-Facebook-groups

https://www.quora.com/Is-the-time-for-forums-over-Are-forums-still-a-good-way-of-collecting-feedback-and-answering-Are-there-any-forums-you-still-use

https://www.adweek.com/digital/the-25-facebok-groups-with-over-1-million-members/

Now, if this site was as convenient to use as Facebook that would be a huge plus, but posting pictures here isn’t near as easy as Facebook, having a private instantaneous conversation here isn’t possible, course also can’t even get a like button with this forum software.

Now interestingly enough I also help moderate this one as well,  https://www.haytalk.com/forums/

7 new topics this morning and five more since. But they are mainly ag folk that hate Facebook with a passion. Also tolerate zero BS on that forum.

Just pointing out a fact.

Dylans group on Facebook has a thousand members already in barely more than a year. Given that Facebook is more user friendly than the forum software here why wouldn’t they get there info there if its the same people sharing the info there as here?

Pretty country, way too much government intrusion into peoples daily lives.

It perplexes me as to why folks still worship the evil beast (facebook) after all the truth which has emerged over the past several years. Without even searching, the truth is plain as day. Even if you do not have an account, it still tracks you, heck look what is happening with China's social credit system. We will be there in a few short years if Americans continue to submit and surrender every facet of their privacy for convenience and freedom for security.
