I made us a little Facebook page to hopefully draw in a few more posters here: Terry Pratchett Books Message Board | Facebook

Please, if you have the time, can you add yourself as a fan.

Oooh, I saw it!

I have a question, what exactly does make it onto the Facebook wall there? Only the things we post there ourselves, right?

It's just the start of new threads that go up there, starting from it was setup to do that yesterday. Though I back-dated a few so the page wasn't empty.

Yeah, obviously I'll have to watch out for those spam threads though.

Promoting that facebook page can help in promoting website and forum. We should have a link on the main page saying "Connect us on Facebook". This will be too helpful. Also, increasing number of fans on facebook can help to promote website, ain't it?

I'm not sure what you mean, the FB page is already being promoted and there is already a Facebook button on the front page, erm, ain't it?

Facebook?

I'm not sure I want you all knowing who I am...

Most of the regulars have met each other in person anyway so I guess we don't care about that. But, even if we did care, how would anyone know which of the hundreds of fans of the Facebook page was you?

Just a thought...to what extent are you actually encouraging the members of the facebook page to join the forum? Only the page has almost six times as many fans as this forum has active members...

Another thought, which in retrospect, I should have mentioned in my last post, is that shouldn't it be a group instead of a page? Only a page is normally supporting a statement or a person, and a group is more...well, a group. Which is what I kind of hope this forum is...

DEATHOFRATS, no it shouldn't be a group instead. Facebook groups are crap and you can't do anything with them in terms of apps etc.

We have over 1000 fans on our Facebook page now, which is pretty cool.

It's a nice little page, even if my personal approach to Facebook is wary. As a place to promote the boards though, it's an awesome idea.
