Global Conflict

what you Guy's thing about a facebook ( or other social media) group for GC one like we have on twitter ?

easy way to post some GC meeting pic's the video's we make the podcasts, ... and so on and it may get us some new members as well ?
or

Definitely

If it brings in players:

so we can see our real names, stalk each other and post dick pic? Hell YES!

I dig it.

Another gaming group I'm a part of dropped the website forum years ago to use a (private) Facebook group instead. Nobody checked the website, but everybody checks their Facebook. It's a good way of making announcements & brief discussion.

To be clear: I'm not suggesting we drop the forum. Forums have a lot of advantages over the crummy way Facebook (dis)organizes and (mis)manages posts. I'm all for utilizing both.

This already exists but has been dormant for about 4 years...

I'm not sure who the admin for the group is. I think .Sup.

Edit: eh...must be me since the group only has two members and the other is Total_Focus_Haz.

I think the main reason that hasn't been pursued in the past has to do with the sharing of real names and faces. Not everyone wants their real life to mingle with their virtual identities. Which is totally understandable, but I think we can have this group for the people that are ok with it, just be aware that there will always be ill-intended people out there, so make sure to visit the privacy settings in Facebook.

@shrapnel Can I have admin?

Mrblue is working out the privacy settings.

There is certainly no requirement to join the group if you don't want your true identity known. It could be good advertising for GC to have an active facebook group though. Just keep in mind that GC's rules of conduct will still apply for posting in the facebook group.

Is there a public Page for GC as well? Like the ones businesses use to post public messages. I recommend we set up one of those while we're at it; just to make GC easier to find & act as another place to make public announcements (echo the twitter content essentially).

I can just imagine my cheerleading team asking me why all these people are adding them all of a sudden

If it gives me a reason to actually use my Facebook, okay.

Public page has been created! Any volunteers to run it and post updates can contact me by PM. Like away!
