I agree, I dislike the trend of everyone offloading all their community services to Facebook. FB has a number of privacy and tracking issues, which is why I've dropped my support and use of it. I also don't like that everyone is now being pushed into it.
As far as where to ask questions - although people are certainly welcome to use this forum, I suspect that the
forum over at cbr.cc gets many more visitors and I know that professionals post there as well.
