ALFA on Facebook (part 1)

[Hialmar]

I have added a Facebook's like button on the first page (ie http://www.alandfaraway.org/ ).

Also if you are interested to join us, I have created a Facebook's group:
https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=gr ... 98812&ap=1

Edit: thanks go to Boom for the ideas.

Join to see all those sexy Rotku pictures!

Just a warning: Joining this page means FB Alfa has all our real names and profiles....so yea...here we go.

[Hialmar]

Yes that's the downside of Facebook.

Unless you subscribed to it with a false name.

I have a few friends who did that

[dergon darkhelm]

OK -- I'm requested for getting in

[Hialmar]

I have also created a page.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/ALFA-A-La ... 0228323695

It seems to be better than groups.

We need more than 25 likes on this page in order to be able to choose a nice url like:
http://www.facebook.com/alandfaraway

I added a bunch of alfans i had on my fb profile.

On the placement of the button on the page.. not exactly pretty looking

Let's consider alternatives on that..

[Brokenbone]

I'd join but I'm in the role playing closet. While I'm convinced there's some way to screw with your account settings, privacy, etc. to maybe make your normal friends, family, colleagues etc. not have group join alerts pop up, or be able to tell you're joined up with RPG groups... well, the privacy settings seem to change 1-2x a year as they keep reinventing policies. Tips anyone? Other than to embrace the geekiness? Set up an alternate profile to use to nerd out and/or become FB friends with porn stars and whatnot?

It's just a group. Generally, FB'ers are in hundreds of them, i doubt anyone would even notice or care enough to poke around and find it.

Also, man up and embrace the geekiness. It isn't the 90s any more when nerdy geeky stuff was frowned upon by 'the cool kids'

Depends on the person. Idiot teenagers or 20-somethings, sure.

Anyway, good luck y'all, I'm certainly not joining either.

Viagra used to be the pill of shame, now it sponsors the Stanley Cup playoffs. Hmm.

That maybe has more to do with big meaty cocks though, everyone likes those. D&D, less so.

[Hialmar]

I have updated the link on the first page so that it points to the facebook page.

Zic, the placement isn't definitive of course, just testing right now.

Anyone know Facebook well and the advantages/disadvantages of groups vs pages ?

I preferred how the old groups worked but they are phased out so...

Agreed. Nothing wring with being proud of your geekiness. The world would grind to a screeching halt if it wasn't for geeks.

I'm at peace with my geekiness, I just don't want any of you chumps knowing about it...
