Why are there so many 'Facebook" type dicussion on RallyPoint?

I thought the "Rally Point's 'intent' was to be a clearing house for professional military personnel that are transitioning or looking for mentorship, to find it here. I didn't expect the 'Facebook' "What's your favorite cadence?" (from an Air force guy no less that probably NEVER ran in formation) to "What's your favorite military quote?" That kind of stuff is, IMHO, ROTC level conversations. I'm looking for a job not to find out what kind of Girl Scout cookie you like. Am I off base or is this the thinking for others on the site??

I found this thread this morning and was surprised to see that it was posted "about a year ago." I have only been on RP for about 6 months and, during that time, I feel that I have seen RP become more and more like Facebook ... makes me wonder what RP was like in the very early days and just how far it has strayed from its original intent.
