Couple guys on Facebook said they can't seem to join the site. No one sending them confirmation emails once they sign up.

Missed seeing this. Yes. I've been cloaked for several years (you don't see when I'm online). I rarely post, but I'm here near daily fixing stuff when I see it or it's been reported...spam, etc....and helping folks when I can. Patrick's correct...I do not have any administrator functions, so any b!tching to me is not really going to help. I pass on issues to Brent. CW left years ago...just left. I've been it. Folks don't squabble much anymore so I rarely have to police anyone, but it still happens...and it is done quietly and without patience or discussion (one of the reasons I stay cloaked...not interested in everyone's opinion).
If I get questions regarding anything I just explained, they'll be ignored. Read.
Personal opinion...Facebook groups have had a huge effect on forums. I collect watches...there are few watch forums left since most have gone to Facebook groups. That said, we have rather unusual cars...different mfgs, different builds, different issues than other car collecting folks have. This forum still contains a wealth of information you simply are not going to find in Facebook groups. Ever tried to research "threads" in a Facebook group? They compliment each other. Our Gasholes group remains alive and well (nobody's died) and yet we all use Facebook to annoy each other ("we don't like us either")...but we can still have long discussions on our forum about how fvcked up democrats are or the fact Turk has a gopher problem or Wilf can advise someone about the electrical problem on his Cobra. I think having all of the various types of online discussions is great...but that's just me. I just wish I could get my wife and girls to answer the dam phone when I call!
And that's all I have to say 'bout that. Nice talking to me.
