Facebook Community?

[Darth Verik]

Hey, i was thinking that it might be a cool idea to have a facebook community with this site, could be nice. Any comments? Ideas?

[Unit 33]

I think that idea was raised a long time ago and there was a lack of enthusiasm.
If we're up for it I don't see why not.

[Anyder]

I think its k for me, My real life friends are in tuenti.com so I have no probs LoL

[Kit Fisto]

It sounds like a cool idea but here are the problems that could be faced:
People don't have a facebook account ( i don't )
People might not want their personal info. given to people on the site ( not to be mean )
xfire is just as good so why don't we just continue using that?

I would "like" it , personally i like to see who i am playing with , least i have 30 down.... and i don't care if people view my info, there's not really nothing to pick on me about

Don't want to be a downer but they are out there and it would be horrible if this happened to someone.

[Black Water]

this is completely irrelevant to swbfgamers making a facebook page. you can receive sexual solicitations whether or not you are part of a battlefront facebook group, or have facebook at all. you can receive solicitations on xfire, or in your email. and if you are naive enough to offer compromising personal information to strangers you should not be on facebook to begin with.

so joining a game-related group is not a security compromise in the slightest. being on facebook to begin with is a massive security compromise.

So you are rejecting the idea

which is what i did.

[Joseph]

no, i do not reject the idea.

So you are saying that you have a "massive security compromise" such as facebook and are willing to risk it?
What I'm saying is that IF there is an online predetor on this site ( however unlikely ) the facebook page would be another and far more effective way to get at you.

How?

Lol. You said it yourself. 

[Joseph]

Lol. You said it yourself. 

so you have conceded that there is no increased risk in joining a swbfgamers facebook group?

[Kit Fisto]

I'm saying there is. Facebook can include a lot more personal info than this site allows. So a predetor could get at you easier because he will have a lot more personal info about you then normal. My opinion and you can go ahead and join it if it happens just know that you have a higher chance of a predetor walking up to your door!
