What exactly can be discussed anywhere else that cannot be discussed here?

***

Artists (and fans) have opinions. On storytelling. On how the process is achieved. We think about how we'd approach something, or try to see how far we can figure things out. Its in our nature. But it can, and has come across as questioning the process. And frankly, I don't think this is the place for that. To me, THAT'S disrespectful to you. You're doing this, giving it away for free and clearly enjoying yourself. I don't think I'm alone in saying that this is the single best comics related thing I've had in years. But if I, or anyone else, wanted to have a discussion about why you chose to do A instead of B or C, I don't think this is the place to do it. Its disrespectful to you and can come off as complaining... which it isn't.

Those types of comments here generally get a well deserved "sigh" or "Aaargh."

To me, its the same type of discussion I'd have at my LCS.

Just imagine for a moment what that would be like here.

Every post would have hundreds of responses that mostly echo each other.  You can see on the FB posts that most people respond to the original poster without reading the other responses.

I think it has more to do with accessibility.  People use Facebook for a lot of reasons and it's just easier to also talk about interests there than on a message board.  

A lot of message boards I frequent seems to have less traffic in general.
