Thread: Facebook has a new user

I've finally managed to get around Facebook's evilness (and I'm supposed to be the naughty one. How bad is that?) and have joined Facebook.

Please add me as your "friend" Promise not to be overly-updating my status messages with too much tripe.

Yay for me - stupid name I had to put in and no, before anyone says it, I'm not a 50-odd year old male named Bernard

EvilOlive Adjutant is the name

And a new group too! Rear Party Rear Party Facebook Group

I'll be updating this and improving it but any suggestions are more than welcome!

Just a thought; I know some RP members are a bit funny with sharing the real them, would it be an idea to set the RP FB group to a private setting? So that 'any passerby' can't view who is there, you;d have to be accepted as a member to view other people.

I've had a look and it only shows members of the group, but you can't write anything?

I don't think it's a PerSec thing , though. Anyone can be a member of a FB group without meaning they're a member on here - or am I being ultra thick as usual?

(Going back to sleep again now....)

You might want to change the privacy settings as the group does say 'All Content is Public'???

Just a thought anyway...

I think CK is right. Just being a member of RP FB doesn't necessarily link you to being a member of RP. It certainly wont give away who you are on the site.

I would just make sure that personal privacy setting mean that only your friends can see your info, photo's etc.

The 'friends' on the FB page are growing quite well. There's 25 on there and I'm not convinced 25 post on a regular basis.

I've had a quick look through some of them and have managed so far to match two people by their FB profile to their RP profile. And you don't count Legs! Some people really need to up their security settings.

When we've all stopped talking about it I might be brave enough to get myself on there!

*Jeez, you'd think I had something to hide!!

I woke up to Friends this morning - you were right! What a weird and wonderful bunch you all are.

Just to reconfirm - you do NOT have to tell me what your user name is when / if you want to add me as a friend. I also won't post bundles of cack on your Faceache pages - again, I don't have time and you probably don't want me to.

I do really appreciate the friends though. Warm fuzzy feeling this morning, which isn't from the wine I've been helping myself to from the cellar since 9 a.m.

Honest.

I'm glad it's not just me who saw that - I didn't want to say anything on account of being thought senile.... :roll:

Oh well, my wit and repartee will have to wait until the settings are changed :lol:

I'm sure this isn't me. I have my settings as high as they can go without stopping people from adding me. If it is me can you let me know?

I shall add a Wall, then. Sorry about that - had settings too high (wanders away with a loo-roll-style to-do list...[b]

My bold, unfortunately my RP name doesn't bode well for anonymity, although hopefully that will be a different matter soon enough.

Just a quick one, but if I search Rear Party in FB only EA's profile (and other randoms) comes up.
