I'm sticking this here because it's the most popular board - if someone else wants to move it, please feel free.

I created a Fan Page on FB: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Third-Rail/360087788829?v=wall  The fan page is open to the public, however, if your permissions are set to private, it's the same as if you were on a friend's page - people who do not have access to your page will not be able to see any activity of yours that you haven't given permission for (i.e., if you're set up as private and only your friends can see your activity, your posts on the fan page will not appear to anyone not on your friends list).

Feel free to become a fan and recommend. The page links to this forum.

I put this in the Spin Room as well.

um...wouldn't I need to create a dual on FB in order to use this fanpage?

[Persephone]

If you're not set to private and you don't want anyone to see your posts then yeah. 

It's more for new traffic. I doubt there's going to be a whole lot of discussion going on - it's not FARMVILLE.

Fuck Farmville, and fuck mafia wars. Thank God they gave FB-ers that "hide" option...that shit is annoying as hell.

Great timing in setting up a FB page when weve got a load of PI posting mentalists floating about here dont you think Persephone?

I don't log on to facebook...people poke me and invade my space. I do follow the twitter thing though

When my niece or my friend use my computer to check their facebooks, my computer spazzes out and I have to delete temp files, cookies and do a system restore...or else I have to live with contant computer freezes and being thrown off the net...

I loathe facebook and now refuse to allow them to use my computer....for checking that..

It's probably not FB per se, it's more likely the apps that they inevitably use (like Farmville, Cafe World, Vampire Wars, etc). Those things have eleventy billion scripts that run and they've frozen me up on a few occasions.

Doing what Dev suggests helps. But it's not really a big deal since you're already here - that page is more to generate interest from non-members. Since you don't have a FB network it's kind of moot anyway. I just have to remember to mention it on my status once a day or so. It would help if the rest of you on there did as well.
