I can see how that choice makes sense, from his position, but it’s still sad for the identity-paranoid and the nostalgic remnants still roaming these forgotten halls. Did I have a purpose once? It’s been so long.
And perhaps harder to grow, at least through the usual means—the Facebook discussions wouldn’t show up on Google searches (or at least not highly ranked, I think), and it’s a less convenient format to link someone to for an explanation of a concept.

Also, it’s much harder (impossible?) to find older discussions on FB.

It turns out that while there may be no good way to use Facebook to find old discussions on Facebook, I used google and found an old Facebook post.
