Really, the page is apparently private, as it demands I log in before I can see the page. (As I understand it) While facebook is higher profile, an individual group is no higher visibility then the # of "likers", which with not a whole lot of the Y! group going to move over, nor any likely website promotion. There probable won't be much in the way of increase visibility for the piecepack.
