What are the pros and cons of facebook connect? Do you use it on your site? Do you enable the bypass Vb registration? Is it worth using?

I dont use it as i have wordpress and other sites mixed in on my Forums
easy to get people to join is a pro i guess
We tried it but quite a few of the users, myself included use Android/iPhone to access the site via 3G, when Connect was turned on it added about 3-6 seconds onto the page load time which is quite considerable if you're used to everything being very snappy.
We were happy though with the way it worked but for the time being it's not quite ready to the stage that we would leave it switched on.
One to keep your eyes on though. :)

Any issues with leaving the option to allow facebook registration?

I have one error:
API Error Code: 100
API Error Description: Invalid parameter
Error Message: next is not owned by the application
It's a known error and I've tried several "fixes" and nothing, everyone (even Facebook) seems to have their own fix for it, but nothing, it just doesn't want to work....hmm
