I was curious why we didn't have TSF on FB for the longest time :). But now we do!

Just be aware, I don't actually use my real name (ori-STUDFARM) on Facebook like I do on forums though....

:P

Pfff, we all have post counts that need to be added to Rico, cmon, we would never let those stagnate. ;)

On a more serious note, wouldn't worry about it. Your more likely to drive traffic to the forums, as the Anomalies link to their forums fairly often when a topic is being discussed. Plus there are people who don't want people to know real names, don't want FB, etc and so forth.

And on the other hand, there's people on facebook who don't have an interest in joining forums. Either way I feel like it's a good thing. I'm quite happy with the activity on my FB group.

Yeah, it's a balance I guess.  My hope is to keep all of the folks here already plus add some new ones who find us via FB.

So I've now got a picture of me and my Dalek on here too? (At the top of the thread). Cool!

The thin with the Facebook group is its actually quite compelling with its notifications and stuff. I prefer a forum interface personally, but I can see why Facebook has such a draw.

Can't do it from the mobile app, not sure why that app is so crippled after all this time.  Gotta jump on my computer at home to do it.

The mobile app is horrible. Just add Facebook to your home screen and just throw the app in the background somewhere. Safari/whateverDroidhas handles mobile FB 1000x faster than that piece of crap app >=(
