A suggestion has been made to me in the past that I should get all my FC members chatting in the FC chat rather than the LS chat. I have always felt that you should use the LS chat to show off how active your group is to encourage other people to leave their FC's and join yours. However, lately it seems that some of my FC members have wanted to leave our FC because they know they still have the LS, and it will mean they can get into the other FC's which only chat with FC chat (in other words, being able to chat with both groups).

With this in mind, it makes me wonder which option is more effective. Do I sacrifice the social aspect with some of our friends from other FC's in favour of FC chat to entice said other friends to join our FC, or do I continue to chat in LS to ensure that everyone remains aware of us and sees the social side, wanting to join because they see how we work together?

What about you guys? Do you spend all your time with your FC members in FC chat or do you hold an LS that you use more often? What do you think of the pros/cons of each?
