a
Facebook?
No thanks.
I'll do it, if you don't mind that most of what I write isn't overtly Discordian in any way.
Sometimes it's fucked up and disturbing, though.
I commend you on your efforts to bring a better Discordia to facebook
I think facebook groups are kind of a coffin though.... I'm a member of like 30 groups, and only one of them has any posts in the last two months. People join them and then forget about them, unless you have something cool going which will draw people back.
I would help you out, but if I sign onto facebook at work, other coworkers on facebook start messaging me. And I avoid communicating with them at all costs.
I've started 2 separate groups on Facebook and promptly forgot about both of them. Although, it is fitting for the group I started around The Year of Nothing. It is really living up to its name. :lol:

ive kinda noticed that about the groups on there. ive only been on it for about 2 months and ive already deleted my personal account. i had friends that join like 3 groups a day.... theres no way they can possibly care enough to keep current with that many. maybe i should look into getting a blog or something. myspace SUCKS so thats not an option. i really just kinda wanted a forum that i could call my own with a few other regular contributers and a gang of subscriber/member types. i guess a blog would be better? i dont know...
I think the best method is to
a) host your forum, blog, network, community, whatever somewhere away from facebook
b) use facebook to recruit people for that community
if the average user spends 10 minutes a day using facebook (that number is totally made-up btw), they're only going to spend a minute or two at most checking up on your group
but if you get them to hit up your site when they're done using facebook, you'll have a lot more of their attention.
