Facebook pages

I used to use Facebook for my forum before, trying to invite Facebook users to get to visit my forum. I started with a page, and it easily died so fast. Then a member of my community suggested and volunteered to run a Facebook group, and magically it survived until now when the forum is already dead due to technical issues. I didn't know how we did it; but we try to make the group as lovely as possible, inviting and welcoming members, and provide interesting posts.
I don't really like using social network to advertise, so to speak, but if it can help you to bring your community together, even bigger, why not? You just have to be very dedicated to run it because it won't be easy.

Facebook Pages are important for business and they can be helpful for forums too for gaining traffic and engaging user!
Ask your forum members to Like the forum page on FB so that they get latest updates and you could do giveaways promoting your forum and stuff like that!
So this is basically my idea although i havent tried it yet!

Personally, I'm not a fan of social networking or attempts by seemingly every site to incorporate a like button of some kind. And I don't like facebook at all for a variety of reasons I won't get into here.
So I don't have a facebook page and I won't be getting one even for my site. I think we can do just fine to expand without one. Plus I already have a hard enough time with our site's Twitter keeping it updated and whatnot. So I don't think that having a facebook or googleplus account would really dramatically help my site grow. (I wouldn't be able to spend enough time to really grow it in order to help my site out.) Plus many members already on my site don't use facebook or if they do they don't use it very often. So it's just not worth enough for me to even consider a facebook page.

Well not doing so would make the challenge of 'social media success' somewhat harder would it not. What other sites would you be using?
Personally we don't see why you wouldn't create a profile, remember it can be linked to your twitter account to save time updating. Facebook has a great capacity for viral posts. Both of these avenues give us a high number of referrals (and we are not nearly as active on facebook as on twitter).

I don't think it helps extremely well in terms of advertising, but I do say that it can provide very great things if you manage it well enough.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Think about how much time the average person spends on facebook per day. Then think about how much time all their friends spend on facebook. Thought about it? Good, well harness some of that time! There's so many bored people out there who are looking for something to do, some way to keep themselves entertained rather than just browse through facebook...this is where you site comes in!

Most people don't know how to successfully utilise a FB page, and there isn't much help out there. It just appears some pages go viral and others don't. But having one isn't going to deter visitors, you may get the odd member off FB, and if it happens to become successful, then think back to the time you considered not having one.
