It is working out just the opp for me.. I'm involved in several sport trash talk groups on FB.. After a lot of discussion, we will be moving the groups into xenforo once I finish writing xenforo into a Facebook app. Many are very excited for it, some well known posters from the groups are helping beta test and throw ideas at me and our Facebook page for the site already has over 1,200 likes in just the few weeks it's been up to give updates about the project. Facebook has changed a lot, lot of changes people dislike, like being forced to use your real name now rather then just anything you want. More and more posts are getting reported and and more deleted by Facebook along with people receiving 3-30 day bans from said reports. You just need to think outside the box on how to compete against Facebook.. Sure a out of the box cookie cutter forum won't succeed, but if you use some imagination to be unique on your community features, it's far from a dead game.
