The boards replaced CBM/CBG in terms of how collectors communicate, network, and shared information. IG is good for networking, ok for communication, but poor for conveying robust information. Hard to put an article or its equivalent on that platform. Facebook is similar, maybe a little better for sharing info. But neither platform has the archiving aspect that the boards do. Some of the threads here are pushing 2 decades. If you are looking to learn about comics, there's no better place. If you want to show off and get likes, this isn't the place to do it.
