I think Facebook may be taking away from some of the time some members spend on certain forums, (we run a photo contest and critique website) but having a Facebook website related to our contest website has brought in tons of new members. Every week we have 6 winners in each of the 6 categories. So I take the images with the ribbons we post in the forum like below

Post them to Facebook as the current weeks winners, tag those photos to any members who won and may also have a FB account. All photographers online have tons of other photographer FB friends. They eventually see their friend winning, and want to join in on the fun
I also tell members that for any reason the server may go down, I will post a status on Facebook.
Try to use it as free advertising on FB. I also created a Twitter account that I post to with the wins and other things and it too has pulled in a lot of followers in the short time I have been actively using it the past 3 months
