Personally, i tend to keep logins for sites separate plus I don’t really use Facebook, never really seen the desire to share every minute with people lol or linkedin.

Thank you for feedback, I have noticed forums like, Kitz, Whirlpool and SNB Forums do not use a Social media login option, you just register with there sites directly also.
It might be as you say, people keeping logins for different sites separate and not trusting sharing credentials etc. across different platforms.

Same with me, would never use other accounts to login in a forum.
Even avoid pages if possible where this is mandatory (dont have fb/twitter at all, only google from mobile where it is a must have).Liked by:

Those regularly used by me dont offer SM-accounts, but I know there are some or few others which offer it

Thanks again, I am inclined towards not re-enabling the Facebook Social login option, especially as this should help reduce the amount of false ‘attempted’ registration via the Social login app I currently use and avoid all the hassle I had to jump through with Facebook – Meta for Developers etc.
But will have to keep note on New forum registrations incase they reduce over time.

UKTechHub (UKTH) no longer supports forum access via Facebook.
If you have gained access to this forum in the past via Facebook, do not worry as when you registered via your Facebook social media account, your email was included in part of the registration process.
To regain access to your Forum account, simply go to …
http://www.uktechhub.com > Login and select ‘Forgot Password’ enter you email address and then click ‘Send’.
A password reset email will then be sent and follow the instruction in the email.

It has been two weeks since we last had a new forum member register, I was averaging around 1 – 2 a week prior to the removal of the Facebook social media login option.
Will be keeping my eye on this scenario over the next couple of weeks but would hate for UKTechHub to not grow as a result, so may have to re-enable FB Login and maybe add Google Login option also.
On a positive, SPAM registrations have been reduced dramatically

I’m guessing those 1-2 a week were spam registrations :)
